Evening, everyone.

I was absolutely delighted with a two pound loss today.

And . . .

I was Slimmer of the Week which shocked me as, doing the weighing, I know the losses, etc.  However, you can't be SoW if you gained last week or if you weren't at group for at least a weigh i or if it is your first weigh in.

So I came home with . . . 

All these . . .

. . . and these.

Plus two bars which didn't last long (seven swips or a healthy extra fibre choice down straight away) and a bag of white long grain rice that I left in the basket for next week because I don't eat it, I prefer basmati or brown/wild/etc.

I've put the fruit and veg away, the wraps and the naans are in the freezer but I will leave the cans out while I ponder how to use them this week.  Ironic when I am trying to use up my stash of food but how very encouraging.

Breakfast was not fruit, it was those two bars from the SoW basket.  No photo and they count as a fibre healthy extra although I rather baulk at the term 'healthy'.

This is the Yorkshire pudding wrap that Alex made.  Inside was some of the M&S chunky steak in gravy, roasted potato, parsnips, carrots and onions.  He said it was lovely.
He made the wrap; I had the filling ingredients in the freezer and cupboard already and used pan and air fryer.

And this is what I gad - the rest of the steak in gravy.  It was lovely and all I wanted really.

Free on Slimming World.

Afters was an apple and later on I had some grapes and two small bananas that were looking a bit - elderly!

Still swip free.

Dinner was nothing fancy.  A steak with some grain mustard, some air fried chips, tomatoes and coleslaw left over from yesterday, a few spiced beetroots and some salad cream for dunking the chips.

Three swips for salad cream, the mustard is now a free food.

Summary:

Healthy extras:  no calcium, one fibre and no healthy fats - really not very good but see below!

Swips:  three and I think I will treat myself to an Options choccy drink (two swips) with milk (my calcium choice) before bed

B:  fruit

L:  cheesy waffles with  beans

D:  chicken and bacon pasta carbonara

And fruit

Exercise will be a Lindsey video.
