Monday, 12-10-26: Back!

 Evening!  I'm back after a break and I have been thinking.

Anyone still with me will have noticed that I've not been keeping up with daily posts recently.  More than half my mornings have something scheduled early-ish and sometimes I am just too tired come the evening.

I need this blog - it is my own personal diary and accountability where I keep details of SW counts, etc.  But it doesn't need to be every day and it doesn't need to be morning or evening, it just needs to be.

So, from now on, it will just be when I can.  It won't show planning, just a diary of what's happened.   I plan on an old fashioned sheet of paper.
Hopefully that will be manageable.


Savoury waffles with tomatoes and mushrooms.
To the usual waffle batter I added some finely chopped spicy chorizo and some nutritional yeast plus some salt.

Three swips for the flour
Two and a half swips for chorizo
One swip for nooch
One swip for brown sauce
I used spray oil.

Carrot, lentil and tomato soup for lunch plus some fruit.
The soup was squishy tomatoes, some lentils, a couple of carrots, some soup base mix, marigold vegetable bouillon, water, mixed herbs and seasoning, all cooked together, blended and pushed through a sieve to remove any woody bits.
Swip free with loads of speed.
Very tasty!

And there's some left for another day.

A very tasty hm burner in a hm roll with hm chips and hm coleslaw.  lol

One fibre hex for the roll
One and a half swips for garlic breadcrumbs (in the burger)
One and a half swips for some grated parmesan (in the burger)
One and a half swips for chutney
One swip for salad cream
One calcium hex for cheese
One oil hex to air fry the chips

Summary:
One of each healthy extra.
Thirteen swips

To finish off, here's a few photos from recent  days:

  1. Welcome back! I'm really pleased you're going to continue on a basis that suits you, I've followed your daily food diary for ages and find it really useful for menu options, new ideas, love how you incorporate and adapt recipies from your travels, reading your ups and downs…. I'm currently munching too many biscuits, the answer to that is not to buy them I know! Best wishes Melanie

    1. Thank you so much for commenting on my first post back - that's lovely, Melanie.
      I know exactly what you mean about just not buying them! I can no longer fool myself that I will have a few and tuck the rest away for another day. I wish I could but I cannot!

  2. Thanks for returning Joy. My eating has been so erratic lately, mainly through laziness. Must do better. I get so many ideas from your posts. No pressure then 🤣 Seriously Joy just post when you fancy, it’s much appreciated. June x

    1. Me too, June. Isn't it a nuisance when the mojo vanishes?
      Thank you. xx
