Week 10

12th July 2020

Last weekend day with The Hubby for awhile as shift pattern at work returns to normality.

Breakfast was late and lazy; hard boiled eggs on wholemeal pitta with jalapeno cream cheese.

Hubby had a fried eggy bread sandwich with melted cheese and ham AND a ham/cheese wrap!

We walked into town and strolled around for over 10k steps! go us 😇

Lunch was a bit haphazard again; some wafer thin ham, wakame (seaweed) salad, an Alpen bar and some dried mango. (no pix as eaten out of the fridge mostly 😕)

Dinner was tandoori spice coated chicken salad, it was enormous and filling, Hubby had his usual paratha bread with his.

All lower than average figures today, but I feel full and know I can have some fruit or nuts later if I need to.

Lazy weekend with The Hubby. Day started well with scrambled egg and smoked salmon on Hovis Fab Fibre.

Lunch was fairly light considering such a rich breakfast. Tomato soup with an Alpen bar and mixed nuts; pecans, brazils and macadamias.

Dinner was fajitas, I always have lettuce leaves instead of wraps, so yum!

Good day today, lots of walking, yummy food.

Breakfast was 2 slices of Hovis fab fibre with jalapeno cream cheese (now home made! so more spicy) with boiled eggs and ham.

simple, filling and tasty.

Lunch was a bit of a weird combination but I had leftovers to finish off and was really fancying some seaweed and pickles!! So the Heck! chicken sausages, seaweed salad, dill pickles in garlic, nuts and raspberries.

Dinner was Chicken & Pepper curry, Im so used to not having the rice anymore, I just add spinach to my portion!

Salt was high today; pickles, seaweed, the macadamias have salt on them and the sauce for the curry has soy sauce in it.

Slept in today, post night shift.

For breakfast I had mackerel on wholemeal pitta. It was in a spicy BBQ sauce, which I wasnt a great fan off.

Somehow I forgot to eat lunch, I was concentrating on car/house insurance!

So dinner was "Sizzle" Beef.... easy and fairly cheap.

well under my calories today, may have some nuts later, or may just enjoy a few more tomo'

Add the  spices - stir and leave to sweat for 5-6mins

Remove from the heat 

Blend the drained chickpeas with the egg til a paste consistency - add to the onion mixture
