Hi, everyone!  Welcome to my blog where I talk about my ongoing Slimming World and associated health journeys.  I'm now around 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:

In the end, I made a kind of panzanella salad.  I made some croutons using wholemeal sourdough (one B), I griddled the thinly sliced steak and some sliced peach, I made a dressing with balsamic vinegar glaze (too little to syn), half a tsp evoo (one syn) and some lime juice. prepped a base of leaves, cucumber, tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion and seeds, topped it with the beef, peach and croutons, sprinkled over some mixed seeds (one syn) and drizzled over the dressing.
Really tasty.
Afters was some water melon.

I had some nibbles of cheese to make up my As.
For dinner, I already had some Indian meatballs in the freezer.  I had five and am counting part of an A for the bit of grated cheese I added to the recipe.  I air fried them before adding them to a curry sauce I made with tomato pulp, onion, carrot, red pepper, various spices (cumin, turmeric, garam masala, garlic, root ginger, salt/pepper and chilli flakes all simmered together until soft.
The dhal was onion, red lentils, grated carrot, sweet potato, stock, spices (can't remember - just what came to hand), a bit of water and salt/pepper, simmered until mushy and dhal-y.
Two syns for some evoo, a bit of A for cheese and I think that's it.  You can make some yummy stuff for minimal syns on SW and this was packed with veg.
It was quite spicy so I had some 0% Greek yogurt to cool it

Summary:
two healthy extra A
one healthy extra B
four syns
Tomorrow's plans:

L:   cheesy pease pudding bites (a friend gave me the recipe and said they were delish.  We will see), salad, pickled melon peel; fruit

D:  sous vide teriyaki salmon, salad, chip; fruit
(I found a likely sounding recipe on Cookidoo, the Thermomix recipe site)

Exercise:    Groove at the hall.
