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.

Four days into this week, all on plan so far and three more to go.

I had a Non-Scale-Victory today - I can get reasonably comfortably back into my size 10 jeans again.  I'm so pleased about that.

And I did a freezer audit and changed my plans for this week to make better use of what I have in.

 there.  Nice and economical!

What I ate today:

I didn't make a toastie with cheese but I do like the crunchiness of toasted bread.   

The bread was one B, two syns for spray garlic oil, one syn for mayo and half a syn for grain mustard.

 I planned a big old sandwich and that's what I got.  It was scrummy!

  Today's fruit was an apple, two very squidgy and juicy plums, a nectarine, an orange, five golden raspberries from the garden and some stewed apple.

Fish pie for dinner.  I used smoked basa, a small cod fillet and five prawns, plus loadsa veg in a tomato sauce and added an egg yolk and grated cheese to the mash for extra ooomph.  Pretty much everything was free, just one and a half As for cheese.

However, it made loads and I managed about two thirds of it.  The rest is now in the fridge and I will finish it off tomorrow night with a salad.

Dessert was the stewed apple with golden raspberries, baked apple yogurt (half a syn) and some red berry coulis (two syns)

Summary:

one healthy extra As

one healthy extra B

six syns

Tomorrow's plans:

L:  I'm out so I will make up a packed lunch - I still have some beef left so that can go in a pitta with some salad and some chutney.  I may not stay on plan all day as I might fancy an ice cream or something.

D:  leftover fish pie with salad; fruit

Exercise:  lots of walking
