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:

The fruit was pineapple and blackberries from the freezer plus a fresh apple and a fresh pear.

One and a half syns for chia seeds and mixed seeds.

A bit later, I made some discard crumpets and ate one of then for three and a half syns (I worked it out using Nutracheck and 20 calories = one syn).

For lunch, I made some mackerel pate.  I used a can of mackerel in tomato sauce (SW free/protein and also lovely fish oils) and blended it down with salad cream, horseradish sauce, lemon juice and black pepper.  Really tasty with home made melba toast and bits and bobs on the side.

One syn for the salad cream, half a syn for the horseradish and one healthy extra B for the toast.

Instead of chicken pasta, I made it more Moroccany-tagine-ish.
I softened onion, pepper, aubergine, mushroom and tomato, added chicken, spiced it up with garlic and mixed spice, chicken stock powder and tomato puree, and finished it off with pineapple and bulgur wheat.  It was really nice.

Two syns for some evoo and I think that was it.

I had a couple of oranges and an apple through the day and, because I wasn't having cheese with pasta, I had some to nibble instead.

Summary

one healthy extra A

one healthy extra B
