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.

I have to show these - the first fruits from my blueberry bush.  It's a good year for them - it is absolutely loaded with fruit, more than it ever has been before.
It's lucky blueberries are a speed fruit.

At this time of year, I find a quick wander round my garden first thing in the morning grounds me for the day, if you know what I mean.  There's something about seeing vegetables, fruit and flowers grow that is deeply sustaining.

Do you find that or maybe that's just me!!

What I have eaten today:

This was the roast dinner for four.  I put the dishes on the table in a bit of a hurry so it looks rather untidy but it all tasted great.  And there's enough left over for at least one more meal, more in the case of the chicken.

I didn't syn things so have no idea but it won't have taken me out of a calorie deficit.

No As or Bs.

Maple bacon pancakes - very delicious - with blueberries from the garden and tomatoes.  It doesn't look much but it was very satisfying.

half a healthy extra B for the pancakes and two syns for the maple syrup

I don't normally show desserts because it is usually just a piece of fruit but my lovely friend and neighbour, Chris, bough me some that she had picked in her garden.  I had them with yogurt and a tbsp that fruit coulis I won in the SW raffle a few weeks ago.

One and a half syns.

Summary:

no healthy extra As

half a healthy extra B

known syns three and a half plus whatever dinner was - the cranberry sauce and one titchy [pig in a blanket.
I won't be over syns.

Tomorrow's plans:

Br:  croque madame (from the new book), side salad; fruit

D:  leftovers from today's roast, one way or another; fruit

Exercise:  I can't go to circuits tomorrow morning but I can access something of Lindsey's online later on.
