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.

(from today and through this coming week, I won't be counting As, Bs and syns)

Oh dear, late again.  Let's pretend it is still Saturday evening, please . . .

First of all, I want to show you this.

Before you shout 'CAKE', take a look at the recipe.

Fat free, no added sugar and packed with good stuff - and delicious.

I'm self catering from Monday to Friday and wanted just a little 'treat'-type thing.  It's sliced, individually wrapped and in the freezer now but, obviously, I had to try just one end.

Definitely making this again.

What I ate today:
    

As a start to the 'reset my insides' day, this was a goodie.   It was pineapple, kiwi, pear, raspberries, blueberries, yogurt, mixed seeds, oats, a bit of water and just a little pinch of sweetener, thoroughly blended together with some chia seeds added after the blending.

A lovely lunch.  I made the 'pate' by blitzing some butter beans and chickpeas (both from the freezer0 with some roasted red pepper (from a jar), a bit of tahini, a bit of half fat soft cheese, some garlic and onin granules, a bit of salt and some black pepper.   It was really delicious.

Afters was an orange.

Dinner - a salad in a bowl.  It was OK but I didn't really enjoy it all that much.  I think some salad cream would have been nice but I was trying to be 'good'.

Never mind!  I ate it, it was good, healthy stuff.

I had some grapes for afters.

No summary until next weekend!!!

Tomorrow's plans:

It's use-up-leftovers day.  I will go through the fridge and see what I can concoct!

B:  I have some of the smoothie left so I'm just going to add fruit to it and make a sort of fruit smoothie soup type thingy.  I'll probably add some more chia seeds for extra goodness.

L:  I also have some of the pate left (it was lovely, definitely making that again!) and I also have a couple of small sweet potatoes and some chicken so I'm going to roast sweet potato and onion, spread the pate over a wrap, add the veg and the chicken plus some grated cheese and wrap it up.  I may toast the outside, I'll see how I feel.  That will probably be enough but I can always have some salad

D:  I'm not sure but it might be a vegetable and bean casserole or maybe chilli with a jacket potato.  We will see.

Exercise:  Plenty of up and down stairs, etc.
