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.

Two days down this week, both on plan.  Five days to go.


What I ate today:

I love how the toast goes all crunchy after being sprayed with oil and toasted.

The toast is two healthy extra Bs worth so I am going to have one A and two Bs today plus two syns for garlic infused olive oil, half an A for crumbled feta and two syns for some herb and garlic lighter soft cheese (under the tomato).

Today's fruit was an apple and a fruit salad made with strawberries, golden raspberries, nectarine, grapes and pineapple.

The sweet and sour lentil tofu was delicious!

I tossed the cubed tofu in seasoned cornflour and fried it until it was 'golden' as they say.

I put some noodles on to boil.

I softened onion and pepper, added a bit of sweetcorn and some fresh pineapple before adding the sauce which was made with one tbsp ketchup (one and a half syns), one tbsp rice wine vinegar (free), half a tbsp dark soy sauce (free) and some garlic granules.  Finally I added the lentil tofu, put the noodles in a bowl and topped them with the rest.  The last touch was supposed to be some sesame seeds but all I had was mixed seeds so that's what I used for another one and a half syns.  It was so good and so very filling.

Afters was some of the fruit salad.  There's more left for tomorrow.

Summary:

half a healthy extra A - I may have a nibble for the other half in a while

two healthy extra Bs

I think it comes to seven syns

Tomorrow's plans:

L:  Lentil and veg soup, crunchy garlic bread, grated cheese on top; fruit

D:  roast(ish) beef, Yorkshire pudding wrap, assorted veg, some roasted in Nellie; fruit

(I might swap these two round)

Exercise:  Groove
