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.

Back to normal in here after yesterday's marathon effort.

Today's positive thought has been:

It is OK to let go and move on.

Very true.

After a fridge tidy up, I had some feta that was - er - let's say going a bit funky and needed using.  So I made some bean and feta burgers.  They're in the freezer now but I'll let you know what I think when I have tried them.  Half an A and one and a half syns each, more or less, so that's helpful.

What I have eaten today:

I made shakshuka today for breakfast.  There are as many recipes as there are people who make it but I used onion, pepper, mushroom, chopped tomato and that last bit of funky feta with cumin, coriander and a pinch of chilli.

Plus the egg on top, of course!

Three syns for oil and half an A for the feta.  

Lunch was the third of four portions of the rice crust quiche.    Still nice.

Half an A and half a syn for the quiche, one syn for salad cream, the seeds were part of a B and two syns for salad dressing.

Dessert was mixed fruit salad.

Later on, I nibbled on some cheese and a couple of home made waffles.  One A and half a B.

Dinner was a Cook's ready meal, chicken balti, and I had it with half a pouch of Tilda wholegrain basmati brown and wild rice.  Then more of the fruit salad for afters.

The balti was really very tasty with plenty of chicken.  No idea of syns as it isn't on the SW site but it was 471 calories (says the wrapper - they can't be that precise, of course!) so it won't have broken the calorie bank.  Thw rice was one and a half syns

Summary:

one and a half healthy extra As

less than one healthy extra B

eight syns plus whatever the balti would be.

Tomorrow's plans:

B:   fruit
