 Evening, everyone.   Thankfully, the holiday/outings/erratic meals times are over for a while.  Yes, there's the occasional eating with a friend, either at home or at a local eating place but generally I can re-establish a routine that works for me again.

I'm out on Sunday but should have some control over my food choices and I have a friend here on Thursday but, again, my choice what I provide.

Weigh in today was so bad I'm not saying what it was.  Let's just call it a wake-up call.  Please send all the motivation you can spare.
Thanks.

I had a banana for breakfast after coming home from Group

For lunch I put together a salad bowl.  On Wednesday I made a chick pea, caramelised red onion chutney and roasted red pepper dip and to it I added some balsamic vinegar.  I had chickpeas that needed using up and I had half a pouch of glorious grains so used some of them too - both were delicious with the dip as a sauce.
With the weather turning hot, salad are definitely in again.

One swip for the dip and one swip for the glorious grains.

Dinner was a chuck everything in thing.
Red onion, mushroom, pepper, leaves, potato, the rest of the glorious grains, grated hard Italian cheese and shredded chicken, seasoned with cumin, garlic, smoked paprika, chicken stock powder and salt.
One oil swip which can count as a healthy extra and, seeing as the glorious grains swips are for olive oil, I'm calling lunch and dinner swips as a healthy extra too.  The cheese was my calcium choice.

I had a pear for afters.

Summary:
One calcium and one oil

One swip

Now to battle the evening munchies!

B:  a fruit platter with yogurt and chia seeds

L:  shredded chicken salad wrap

D:  Singapore style mushroom noodles with veg or salad on the side (a frozen third portion of a SW Kitchen meal some weeks ago)

And fruit
