Berries, Cinnamon and Sit-Ups: 10 minute solution Belly, Butt and Thigh Blasters

Today's FWOM was a 10 Minute Solutions DVD : Belly, Butt and Thigh Blasters with a resistance loop (included with DVD)! I have mentioned 10 Minute Solutions before they are really great if you are pressed for time as you can either do one 10 minute section or 2 (as I did today) or all of them, and you can select the order you want them to play in to create a custom workout.

Today I did the Better Booty Camp and Trim & Toned Tummy. The toning loop took some getting used to but the workout was really fun and I liked the novelty of doing familiar ab and lower body moves with the added resistance.

The instructor is good and the presentation easy to follow. Will definitely add this to my go-to quick workout shelf :)

A little video to give you a taste of the moves.

Lunch today was great, inspired by the yummy cafe lunches I have been having lately. I made a salad with leafy greens, carrot, cucumber, kiwi and roasted seeds. With sides of homemade Cannellini bean hummus (recipe from the veg everyday book) and half a warmed chapati and some slices of Cheshire cheese with apple and chutney.

I don't usually have such elaborate lunches...it was delicious! :)

Dinner was "vegeree", again, taken from the Veg Everyday Cookbook. Kedgeree (with fish fingers) was a childhood favourite but this 'grown up' version included oven roasted aubergine and courgette with onion. To be honest, I was disappointed with this dish, I thought it was going to be great but it was a bit dry. I added the spice to the veg not the rice and it ended up a bit bland. My boyfriend makes amazing pilafs and so I think I was judging this by a too high standard..would maybe be better with a curry paste not powder. Still the rice and eggs were yummy!

I have been in a very covetous mood today. I really fancy some new tshirts for working out and some new strength training trainers and some cute but comfy shorts. Hmmm...
