Evening, everyone.  First daily post as I struggle to get back on track again.

I'll be at SW group tomorrow for the first time in a while and will get my new book.  Once I have properly digested the official changes, I will go through them here, to get them fixed in my brain!  :-)

What I ate today:

For breakfast, I had two apples and an orange.  No photo.

Lunch was some hm roasted red pepper and sweet potato soup with some croutons.

It said four swips on the pot - I can't remember why but it tasted quite creamy so might have been some philly light or creme fraiche.
The croutons were just a roll cubed, sprayed and air fried.
Afters was a couple of easy peelers.

So four swips, half a healthy fats for spray oil and one fibre.

I gave my freezer one of its semi-regular sort outs and decided to thaw and cook a chicken crown.  I find cooked chicken so useful for all sorts of things, meals and/or a protein snack.

I had some slices with vegetables.  The gravy was made with stick from the carcass and a fairly new thing, Oxo stock powder which is, at the moment, free on Slimming World and which thickens nicely.
Let's not think about the ultra-processed aspect, OK?
It was so nice having fresh veg again.

For dessert, I had some banana ice cream - frozen banana chunks blended with some kefir (yogurt would be fine); it was lovely.  The kefir carries swips and, officially, so does mashed/blended fruit but I don't.

I also had the dregs of some white wine, left over from New Year's Eve.  

Summary:

no calcium (but I do take calcium supplement)

one fibre

half a healthy fats

I'm saying a full fifteen swips.

Tomorrow's plans:

B:  fruit and yogurt

L:  Alex is over and he is making sausage bean and cheese mini pasties from a book I got for him called How to Make Anything in an Air Fryer.  This recipe looks OK and should use my healthy fibre and calcium.  I'll do a salad to go with it.

D:  salmon, chips and veg (It's Friday - fish and chips the healthier way!)

No planned exercise class.

And it is SO NICE doing this again . . .  I am sure it will help so much.

In the coming weeks, I will be going over my old recipes and starting a new recipe page.  If there are any old recipes you would like to see, I will try to find them.  Just say in a comment.
