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.
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 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.
Glad to see your new entry - I get so many good ideas from what you post and plan for each day. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Chris. It's lovely to have visitors so early - please feel free to 'follow'. xx
DeleteYour soup and croutons look very tasty.
ReplyDeleteHa, fish & chips for us too tomorrow, but with a chicoree/green pepper/tomato mix salad, which need eating up. xx
It was good - I think things improve with time, even when frozen. xx
DeleteOh so lovely to see this blog again! Soup looks delicious. Intrigued by the pasties made with wraps. You are such an inventive cook Joy. I’m so excited for delicious healthy recipes in 2026. Thank you. June
ReplyDeleteThanks, June. I'll do my best to please. :-) xx
DeleteLovely to see you back
ReplyDeleteI'm very glad to be back - and very grateful for all the kind comments. Many thanks. xx
DeleteHi Joy. I too am intrigued by the pasties made with wraps. if your are adding recipes, please will you add the one for your red pepper and sweet potato soup? Thanks xx
ReplyDeleteIf I have it, I will repost it. I'll take a look. It is a nice recipe. xx
DeleteI’m not overweight, (luckily) although I don’t eat as healthily as I’d like, for instance i don’t really find fruit appealing, I dislike lentils and other pulses. On the other hand I hardly ever eat sweet things and I do like vegetables. I tend to eat 2 meals a day, i.e. breakfast and lunch, and not to eat anything after 3 or 4pm. I exercise most days. I love your daily food blog and to follow your 'journey’ whilst assessing changes I could make to my lifestyle! Thank you for being here. Melanie
ReplyDeleteI think one of the big 'secrets' is to make what you enjoy. That's what SW does - optimises what you already like - make it more healthy. None of us likes everything - I tend to run a mile from spinach!! :-D xx
