Evening, all.

Half a pound off this week.  I was a bit 'meh' before remembering that I have eaten out twice this week and, anyway, off is always a Good Thing (in my current situation, I mean).
So three cheers for half a pound off!


Poor old Alex has yet another cold (caught from Beth who caught hers from Alex so . . . ho hum.  He didn't come over and I changed my planning.

Breakfast was porridge with fruit.
I made the porridge with 40g oats and water, adding a dollop of yogurt and, because I had it from the SoW basket last week, an options choccy drink.  Underneath was some blackberries, raspberries and pineapple (from the freezer) .
One fibre choice and two swips - and a full tummy!

I abandoned the plan for jacket potatoes and went full on Med.  It's a bowl - not necessarily Buddha or poke or whatever they are.  Let's call it a SW the Med Way Bowl.  😉

I used half a pouch of Jamie Oliver's Super Grains, five and a half swips for the whole pouch, warmed up and I'm calling it three swips.  With it, I had three swips' worth of black olives, croutons for one fibre, feta for one calcium and a nice choppy salad.  Over it, I drizzled some balsamic vinegar.  Oh, it was so good.
(I'll use up the rest of the grains tomorrow)

Later on, I had an apple and, because I felt an attack of the nibblies coming on, I made some sort of 'crisps' by slicing a small potato with a peeler, spraying a bit of oil (one swip) and crisping them in Nellie.  It worked!  The nibblies subsided and I felt satisfied, far more so than I would with a bag of crisps.  

Dinner was a Slimming World frozen meal from Iceland, aromatic duck noodles.  It's odd but I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I membered I did (if that makes sense).  It was OK and it filled me up but I probably won't get it again.
It was swip free.

Summary:
Healthy extras:  one calcium and two fibres.  I had some healthy fats as swips.
Swips:  nine



B:  mixed grains (I just typed mixed brains!) and avocado chunks with an egg on top and tomatoes on the side

L:  cheese and chutney toastie, side salad

D:  chicken curry with rice

Exercise:  a Lindsey video.
