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.

I didn't photo breakfast but it was marmite toast and baked beans, as planned.

One healthy extra B for the toast.

Lunch was all leftovers from yesterday - some coleslaw, some cheesy lentil bake and some tomato and black bean stew, all improved overnight as food often does as the flavours develop.

Working out the syns is a bit tricky but I am saying half an A, half a syn for the salad cream in the coleslaw and I'm adding another two syns for odds and ends.

I had an apple for afters.

I didn't post the link to this recipe yesterday so here it is now.  I almost made it straight but used left over veg and also some left over buckwheat.

Dinner was taken from this recipe on the BBC Good Food site.

I simplified it and I used chicken instead of sausage but I will make the proper recipe sometime because it really was rather tasty.  

Afters was a nice, juice orange. 

Syns are a bit tricky but I am reckoning about four and a half.

Summary:

half a healthy extra A

one healthy extra B

seven syns - roughly

Tomorrow's meal plans:

B:  beans on toast

I have half a can of beans to use up!

L:  black bean quesadillas

- using my second B 

D:  leftovers of the maple glazed chicken and parsnips on lentils - somewhat similar to today although I will jazz it up with salad and a dressing and seeds on top, etc.

Exercise:  circuits and personal training.
