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.
Three days down, twenty eight to go. I am aiming for every single day to be proper on plan apart from the meals I really cannot help because I am out.
Whether I actually can achieve this is up for grabs but it's time to stop faffing about.
What I ate today:
I was slicing my new sourdough loaf prior to freezing and I ate the end bit - half a healthy extra B but no photo.
Lunch was a Cook's ready meal - I still have a few in the freezer - steak and stout stew with runner beans (the first picking from the garden), carrots and broccoli. Plenty of speed there. Afters was an orange.The stew was OK; to be fair, most of it was absolutely delicious but there were two niggles for me. It was too salty which is probably me, not it, because I have been adding less salt to my meals recently and there was too pronounced a thyme flavour, again for my taste.
Set against that, the steak in the stout gravy was wonderfully melt in the mouth and the two little dumplings (responsible for most of the syns, I am sure) were so lovely. I like dumplings but hardly ever have them for obvious reasons. So the ready meal was 476 (ish) calories which is more than reasonable for a main meal, but the syns came to thirteen - ouch. I'm not fussed though.
I love runner beans fresh picked and steamed or boiled and those runner beans from the garden were so, so delicious.
Afters was an orange.
I had planned a cooked dinner but wasn't that hungry so I made an egg and cheese salad instead with a hm fro-yo ice lolly for dessert instead.
