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.

After I has closed the blog and posted, I really wanted something sweet - always a danger time.
So I got one of my home made blueberry pancakes out of the freezer (part of a B), thawed it, topped it with a sprinkle of sweetener and some 0% yogurt and drizzled over some maple syrup (three syns max).
Absolutely gorgeous, hit that sweet spot and stopped any crashes.  And still well within SW for the day.

(wish I had taken a photo!)

And in other news, this may or may not be so but I heard that SW are getting rid of the term 'syns'.   Thank goodness for that (assuming it is true), I have never liked that particular term as it gives a very false impression - what's wrong with using the whole term 'synergy points'?

WW uses 'smart points' so it's not too much of a mouthful.

What I have eaten today:

Lunch tasted great.  I tossed the chicken in a spice mix, sprayed with avo oil and cooked in the air fryer.

Afters was an apple.

One syn for the oil, one for the salad cream and a bit of a B for some mixed seeds.

The feta and butterbean burgers are from a Cookidoo recipe for the Thermomix but bean burgers are easy - basically smursh together beans, veg and whatever seasoning you fancy.

Half an A for the feta and half a B for sourdough discard and seeds, two syns for spray oil, one and a half syns for chutney and one syn for some salad cream for dunking the chips.

Afters was water melon and nectarines.

Summary:

one and a half healthy extra As (I nibbled on more feta)

half a healthy extra B

six and a half syns

Tomorrow's plans:

L:   out at Val's so no idea

D:  warm chicken and white bean salad (a SW recipe); fruit

It won't be 'white' beans, it will be pinto beans because I have some in the freezer

Exercise:  nothing because I will be out.
