Chef wanted

I had my first challenge of sticking to the Slimming World diet today, as I had friends around for a meal tonight.
I searched through the books for quick ideas, as I'm not yet prepared of what foods come under which category, what has to be weighed etc and I did come unstuck with some of my 'syns'.
i.e the small bit of french bread and the sparkling elderflower to drink with my meal.
One of the two friends round tonight is easy and will eat whatever you put in front of her and seem to enjoy it, but the other is so damn fussy. So I ended up making a salad nicoise for the undemanding friend and myself as that was all 'free food' and chicken and chips for the other.
I have to admit, I was eyeing up the chips at one point and I never even want to eat chips at home as a rule!
But we all had the special diet Eton Mess for dessert and I did feel quite full at the end of the meal. Now however my tummy is rumbling.
I'm already scouring the books to see what I can eat for tomorrow... I may eat the book as well by the time I go to bed!
I can see myself turning into a diet bore if I'm not careful.

It's exceptionally hot out there tonight, so we were able to eat Al fresco, but I still have all my windows and doors open so it's cooler before bed time and it's gone 11pm.
I do have my electric fan at the ready in the bedroom in case I can't cool down enough to sleep. I had to use it when having my physio this afternoon. Being beaten up for postural drainage in this weather is not for the faint hearted believe you me!
I have slept better since I stopped taking the statins. Hopefully this new diet will bring my cholesterol down naturally and I won't get told off.
If I can get it down below my 5.1 through diet alone, then excellent. I always used to be a 3 when slimmer, so lets hope with a bit of perseverance, I'll get it down to that again.
Low cholesterol and a cute bod... whoa hoo... bring on the men!

I have a feeling that my calves are going to seize up tomorrow from my heel raises and squats yesterday, as although fine today, they have been twanging a bit tonight. I'll have to limber up before going back to rehab on Friday, especially after giving it the large to my fellow male inmates yesterday.
Lordy I am such a opinionated woman, why don't I learn to button at times?

Lots of love Debbie x
