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 into this SW week.

one day definitely not on plan

two days in plan

four days to go!

Already, I can see that the problem with this week is where to have my healthy extras.  I will need to look for opportunities to work them in.

What I ate today:

In the morning, I had an apple and a nectarine, both speed fruit.

My roast dinner.  Chicken, broccoli, runner beans, roasted carrots and roast potatoes plus some blueberry sauce, not in the photo and which I won't syn because I used sweetener and don't syn cooked fruit.

Afters was some yogurt and I added some chia seeds - I haven't had chia seeds for ages, have I?

The red berry coulis on top was one and a half syns and the chia seeds go towards my healthy extra B.

Later in the afternoon, I had an orange.

Now, this was something else entirely!

I stir-fried onion, pepper, mushroom, mange tout, baby corn, a chilli from the garden and some mixed seeds in toasted sesame oil.  I added the leftovers from yesterday, mostly noodles and sauce.  I stirred in one tbsp ketjap manis and finally sprinkled some very un-Asian feta cheese around the outside.

And

It

Was

Delicious!

The toasted sesame oil way three syns and the ketjap manis was one and a half syns.  The feta was an A

That was it.  I was full so nothing else needed.

Summary:

one heathy extra A

most of a healthy extra B (chia seeds and mixed seeds)

six syns

Tomorrow's plans:

L:  No SW meal leftovers today so I'm going to have chicken quesadillas which will get in my B and most of my As too.  I'll use one of the SW wraps and I'll let you know what I think.  Then fruit.

D:  meat feast pasta, grated cheese on top if I have any A left, side salad; fruit

Exercise:  Monday is circuits day!  :-)
