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 want to keep this steady while following Mediterranean diet principles and the Slimming World structure.

What I have eaten today.

I enjoyed this.  

One healthy extra B.

For lunch, we went to Pret and this is what I had - Romesco style butterbean and feta salad for 489 calories, absolutely delicious and filling - I brought just under half home with me to have for dinner.
According to SW, it is 14 syns which is bonkers and ignored the fact that feta could be called between one and two healthy extra As which would be the equivalent of 12 syns but there you go!  I'm going to call it one and a half As and five syns, right or not.

Romesco sauce is a Spanish sauce, often made with roasted red pepper, nuts, garlic, paprika and vinegar.  It's so good - I'm definitely having a go at making it.

Before personal training, I had and apple, and afterwards I had an orange.

For dinner, to the leftover salad, I added some haricot beans, some feta (the rest of the second A) some mixed seeds (two syn), more salad and some fat free dressing (UPF but I have it and will not be wasting it. - half a syn)

OK, it looks a right mess but it was a real flavour explosion and I absolutely loved it.

Summary:
two healthy extra As (maybe a bit more)

one healthy extra B

seven and a half syns.

Not a perfect SW counted day but healthy, delicious and it's worked out, more or less.

Tomorrow's meal plans:

B:  egg on toast, mushrooms and tomatoes

L:  small jacket potato with baked beans and cheese, side salad; fruit

D:  chicken fajitas with salad

Exercise:   Groove (dance aerobics)
