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.

Nice and simple - egg on sourdough toast.

One healthy extra B

Slightly more complicated but still nice.
I made some more Romesco sauce, using cashews this time.

I boiled some buckwheat groats (never had them before), mixed them with tuna and some of the Romesco sauce and had them with a mixed salad.

Three syns for the sauce, one healthy B for the croutons and some mixed seeds and half a syn for some low fat dressing.

I had groats and Romesco salad left over so I can use them tomorrow.  I also had half a can of tuna left.

I ate the rest of the apple for afters and, later on, an orange.

Change of plan.

Dinner looks sloppy but, believe ,me, it tasted awesome.

I softened onion, pepper, tomato, baby corn and mushroom in spray oil, adding garlic puree at the end.

I added leftover Mutti chopped tomato, water, chicken stock powder, salt, pepper, tomato puree and Italian herbs and let it all simmer, adding some frozen peas a bit later.

Then I added some Seriously Lighter, some soy sauce, some Henderson's and some bulgur wheat and let it simmer until the bulgur wheat was cooked.  Finally, I tipped in the rest of the tuna.

It was just one of those 'add what you have' things, made loads, I was very satisfied and there's some left over for tomorrow.   I might very well just add some chicken to it and have some vegetables.

One healthy extra A.

Summary:

one healthy extra A

two healthy extra Bs

three and a half syns

Tomorrow's meal plans:

B:  avo on bagel with scrambled egg, tomatoes and leaves

I had a go at making some sourdough bagels yesterday and today which was really successful and I had to fight hard not to sample one.  I'm calling them a B although they're not really.

L:  hm falafels, Romesco sauce, salad

I did an audit of my tinned foods and have so many cans of pulses!  I'm planning to blend some beans and make falafels, maybe with buckwheat groats and certainly with spices.

D:  leftovers from this evening with some added chicken; fruit

Exercise:   circuits in the morning and personal training in the afternoon
