Hi, everyone!  Welcome to my blog where I talk about my ongoing Slimming World and associated health journeys.  I have managed to reduce my 'bad' cholesterol by eating according to Mediterranean principles and now I want to maintain this.

Slight confession - after I had posted yesterday, I had some cashews.  Very heart healthy and good but they sent the syns rocketing.  I'm not that fussed.  If I gain on Friday, I gain, but I have been eating good, healthy stuff since the weekend and that's the most important thing.  

What I have eaten today.

Breakfast - and very nice too.  Syn free.

I'm doing the rest a bit differently because I made  'elements' that contributed to both lunch and dinner.

The bulger wheat had olives for one syn, sundried tomato for one syn, feta for one healthy A and seeds for part of a healthy B plus tuna, lime juice and so on.

The coleslaw  had one syn for salad cream and seeds for part of my B

The jacket potato had one syn for a cheese triangle and one syn for salad cream as well as the tuna and one A for grated cheese.

The mixed salad had more of my healthy B in seeds plus three syns for evoo in the dressing.

Phew!

So - super delicious lunch, absolutely packed with healthy stuff that was also great to eat.  Filling too, so, so filling.

And ditto for dinner.  I so enjoyed the tuna cheese stuffed jacket and I was looking forward to finishing off the salads.

Summary:

two healthy extra As

one healthy extra B

eight syns

Tomorrow's meal plans:

B:  omelette with mushrooms, tomatoes and leaves

L:  soup, croutons; fruit

The last, I think, from the freezer.

D:  chicken escalope and salad; fruit

Exercise:   SET in the morning and Groove in the afternoon, both online.  The Groove class is because I missed the Monday circuits and when you miss a class, you can have another one to make up, providing it is in the same block - and this week is the last week of this block.
