 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.

The long awaited info about changes in Slimming World is out and I did a post about them this morning.

As I said in that post, I'm going to change the way I summarise things to include healthy fats.  So I am aiming for one healthy calcium, one healthy fibre and one healthy fats/oils.  I don't know if that's how it will end up but it works for me for now.  Just remember, it's not canon - yet.  It's just me!

And I'm calling syns the same for now.  

What I ate today:

I had an apple and a pear through the morning.  Both speed.

Lunch was lovely, more a brunch than a lunch but it was good.  I spray fried my bread (one fibre) and some lean bacon, steamed an egg (something I wanted to try out), put them both on the bread before sprinkling a bit of hard Italian cheese over (three syns) and served it with some garden tomatoes and a drizzle of brown sauce.  One syn for brown sauce.  It was nice.

Afters was an orange.

This was delicious.  I made enough for two good portions and might have the other half tomorrow.  I used my own soup base mix and the pulses I had and added seeds and feta as well as the bulgur wheat.

Afters was some Greek yogurt.

Summary:

one healthy calcium extra

one healthy fibre extra
one healthy fats/oils extra

four syns

Tomorrow's plans:

B;  fruit

L:  cheesy beef chutney toastie, salad; fruit

(one calcium, one fibre and four syns)

D:  bean chilli, jacket potato, coleslaw, salad; fruit

(one oil - avo oil and seeds - and three-ish syns)

Exercise:  Groove if I feel better.
