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.

I'm back.

It's been quite a week what with trips, lunches and fighting a summer virus (the virus won) but I have several easy days ahead of me and time to rest, plan and think through my strategies.

This last week has been a SW/Mediterranean car crash so I really do need to get my act together.  Back to basics for August, I think.

What I ate yesterday and today:

Friday lunch:  I made a mini pizza using one Bs worth of wholemeal flour and three syns of white flour plus three syns of oil and one A in cheese.
(I call a certain amount of wholemeal flour a B - this is not a SW thing, it is my own thing as I made my own bread.)
Comfort food for Friday evening,  It comforted so it served its purpose.
Eight syns for the sausages.  The rest was speed and free
On to today and lunch was scrambled eggs on toast with garden tomatoes and cucumber.

One slice of sourdough was less than a B but two slices would be more.  I had one slice and will keep the other to have if I feel hungry later.

So most of a B and syn free.

I had four mint humbugs left from some I took on the coach trip - six syns in total.

I did and it was lovely - the nice thing about sourdough toast is the crunch and this had crunch in spades!  The rest of the B and three syns.

I also had an apple.

I used some garden tomatoes and some canned ones to make a batch of really nice curry sauce and I had a portion with chicken and chickpeas with 'posh' rice for dinner.  Delicious!

Two syns for the sauce (mostly oil).

Afters was an orange.

Summary:
no healthy extra As (not good)
one healthy extra B
eight syns

Tomorrow's plans:

L:  I'm having a Cooks ready meal from the freezer.  SW says it is 13 syns (ouch) but it is under 500 calories so I am not stressing.  

D:  Indian meatballs in that hm curry sauce with rice and, maybe, some dhal

Exercise:   a Lindsey video, assuming I feel fit to do so,
