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.

This week, six days down, five 100% on plan, one slightly off and one day to go before weigh in.  

What I ate today:

There's so much that can be made with what one already has.  The tomato stuffing was definitely a use whatever - bulgur wheat rehydrated with chicken stock powder, onion, pepper, mushroom, apple (no sultanas), pine nuts (20mls is a B), pepper and smoked paprika.  Mixed with tomato bits from the scooped out tomato and topped with cheese (an A).  Really nice baked in Nellie the Ninja!  Filling too.

I made some coleslaw for the whole day, one and a half syns the lot.

I also made waaaayyyyy too much filling so have some to use up another day.  I think it should freeze and I can use it next week when another beef tomato has properly ripened.

So it's one A, a third of a B and one and a half syns for salad cream in the coleslaw, some of which I will have this evening.

Later on I had my usual afternoon apple and orange.  So refreshing and juicy.  And syn free!

Another lovely meal.  The falafel burger made yesterday, some of the leftover bulgur wheat filling, coleslaw with added seeds, some mini roasties and a whole load of tomatoes.  Afters was some sweetened yogurt.

Half a syn for the burger, the seeds and pine nuts for the whole day are one B and I've already counted the salad cream in the coleslaw.

Summary:

one healthy extra A

one healthy extra B

two syns

Tomorrow's plans:

L:  smashed bean and cheese quesadilla, side salad; fruit

D:  creamy bean and veg pasta, runner beans; fruit

Exercise:  I'll see how hot it is - maybe a Lindsey video.
