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

What I have eaten today.

I've now got into the habit of having an apple before any fitness class, so much so that I don't usually even mention it.  I find it gives me energy without guilt and, anyway, apples are a favourite fruit.  

It was a full morning today so I just grabbed a quick selection of fruit for breakfast.  No photo

Lunch was the other half of the tomato, lentil and roasted red pepper soup I made yesterday.    It was very simple, no spices or anything, quite uncomplicated and really tasty.  I spray toasted some sourdough to dunk and had some mixed seeds sprinkled over.

The soup was syn free,  a half healthy extra Bs for the bread and part of a B for the seeds.

Later on, I had some grapes.

Dinner was another stir fry, this time with chicken.  I made the sauce using soy and oyster sauces, sweet chilli sauce, garlic and ginger.

I ummed and ahed about some noodles but decided not to because there was already plenty in the form of lovely vegetables.  I am definitely getting those stir fry veg again.

One and a half healthy extra As for the chilli sauce and six syns for one tbsp olive oil.

Summary:

no healthy extra As

two healthy extra Bs

seven and a half syns

This, by the way, is the stir fry vegetables - they're lovely.  I added other stiff for colour and just because vegetables are so, so good.

Tomorrow's meal plans:

B:  marmite mushrooms on toast, leaves on the side

L:  a salad of some kind; fruit

D:  a ready meal from the freezer, probably one of the protein ones I bought from Iceland the other week.  I want to see what they are like and they're taking up freezer space.

Exercise:   personal training.
