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

What I have eaten today.

After yesterday's evening disaster and knowing I had a lovely lunch prepped, I had just fruit for breakfast.

Syn free.

I made this for me and Beth.

The cheesy lentil bake, coleslaw, salad veg and buckwheat with Romesco sauce, olives and seeds was all lovely.  There were leftovers:  Beth took most of the lentil bake with her while I kept just a bit for lunch tomorrow.

One healthy extra A and one syn for a portion of the bake, one syn for salad cream in the coleslaw, three syns for the Romesco sauce, one syn for olives and half a syn for seeds.
I think.

I demo-ed how to make my black cherry frozen yogurt so we had some for a sort of dessert later on.  That was syn free.


Dinner was easy.  
When I softened the vegetables for the bake, I spooned some off.  
I also spooned off some of the cooked buckwheat before adding the olives, seeds and sauce.
To that, I added some chopped tomato, heated it all up and then added some black beans.  I also added the dregs of the buckwheat salad but it was so little I'm just saying another syn and that will cover it.
It was absolutely delicious with the rest of the salad (no dressing) and some of the coleslaw leftovers (half a syn for salad cream). 

There's still leftovers of coleslaw as well as a fair bit of the bean stew plus some chopped tomatoes and some black beans because I didn't need a whole can full of either.  I think I need to Google for ideas.

Summary:
one healthy extra A
no healthy extra Bs (I had enough yesterday to last me all week)
eight syns

Tomorrow's meal plans:

B:  beans on toast

L:  leftovers of lentil bake and black bean stew, salad and coleslaw on the side; fruit

D:  maple glazed chicken with herby lentils; fruit

Exercise:  Groove and the walk there and back.
