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 down, all on plan, three to go.

What I ate today:

I had an apple before circuits this morning.

I thought I had feta but I didn't so I changed my plans somewhat.  I mashed some chickpeas and kidney beans with some caramelised onion chutney, split a pitta across into two slices, layered cheese, bean mash, tomato slices, cheese on one side, covered it with the other and heated it up in a pan - like a quesadilla but with pitta bread.  It was really nice with a salad.

One and a half As for the cheese and one B for the pitta plus one syn for mixed seeds, one and a half for dressing and one and a half for the chutney.

During the afternoon, I had a peach and an orange.

I had a fake away for dinner.  The Indian meatballs were free, the curry sauce was one and a half syns, the dahl was one syn and the rice was half a syn.

Afters was some yogurt plus seeds (one syn), red berry coulis (one and a half syns) and three raspberries.

I also had a bit of bread from the end of the loaf I baked today - I'm calling it half a B because then I have had three healthy extras altogether - which is fine.

Summary:

one and a half healthy extra As

one and a half healthy extra Bs

eight syns

Tomorrow's plans:

L:  vegetable nest with an egg on top and salad.

This is a Plant Menu thing and, as Beth is here for lunch and there's two in the box, I thought we should test it together.  Looking at the list of ingredients and the calories, I have no idea why it should be so high in syns but there you go

D:  feta burger, vegetables, new potatoes; fruit

Exercise:  Groove - in class!  Yay.
