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.

It's early Monday morning but I have just concocted a sauce for the falafel that is rather lovely and want to get it down before I forget what I put in it
some cooked chick peas
a roasted red pepper - I smeared evoo over a halved and seeded red pepper and air fried it for around 15 mins, then popped the halves in a poly bag to sweat.  The skin came off easily.
a squidge of garlic puree and ditto of tomato puree
10g tahini
a few drops of liquid smoke
a bit of balsamic vinegar
no salt, no pepper, but I might add some later
It's made three adequate portions (I will see how far it actually goes later).  The tahini was three syns - maybe, next time, try some peanut butter powder (the no fat kind that is one and a half syns per level tbsp) with some water.  
Fingers crossed that it tasted good.

What I have eaten today.

Sourdough is so nice toasted or spray fried.  

Two syns for the mashed avocado and I am calling the bread my healthy extra B.

The sauce (as above) was really nice.  I blobbed it on the plate and put the falafel on top and they went well together.

I can't remember how many syns the falafel were but let's say two, the sauce is one and one for salad cream in the coleslaw.
And dinner - onions, mushrooms, chicken, some stock and some Philly plus orzo and broccoli.  Very simple and nice too.

I'm calling the Philly my As (it used to be an A but not now - As are about calcium) and one and a half syns for some spray evoo.

This week is not going great though - I seem to have slipped very easily into scoffing extra stuff between meals and in the evening.  
I need to pull back again, I really do.

Tomorrow's meal plans:

B:  fruit

L:  scrambled egg on toast, salad on the side

D:  chick pea burger, coleslaw and salad

Exercise:  Groove class
