So today had to kick it back in a little. (I could have done a lot more but am restricted on time, height and various other things)
I was gonna have a nice healthy breakfast but am to short to reach any of the cereals except the coco pops =S but healthied it up but substituting my semi skimmed milk for hazelnut alpro.
This saved approximately 3g of sugar, 60 calories a small victory for the day.

Due to shopping and mum needing my car I didn't have as much time to exercise as I wanted but made the most of what I could.
The floor is still a little messy ( its covered in christmas decorations and boxes ) so I couldn't do proper sit ups - I need the sofa to hold my feet down. Instead I did the better compact movement - Crunches.
Next I did an evolution on crunches - a mix of vertical leg crunch and crunch to your legs if I had a ball I would have used this to make more of the exercise.
- start by crossing your legs in the air 90 degrees to the floor
- crunch raising your arms towards your toes
- lower your arms back to the floor and engaging your abs lift your pelvis off the floor

using a medicine ball will make more of the exercise as your burn more calories
After I tried a new exercise for me, kick backs.
- on all fours, keep your back straight, abs engaged
- kick your leg back straight for 20 reps, change leg
- repeat for 3 sets

At the gym I only had half an hour while my mum was in the area so I didn't get much but did 9 min treadmill, uphill with 3 'sprints' and 18 minutes cycling level 4. Not long, or many calories burnt, but a personal milestone, longest cycle I've managed at the gym.
Tonight's dinner, I would have takn a pic but it was too good to resist and I ate it straight away.
1 bell pepper
Cous cous (already prepared) with basil
1 spring/salad onion finely chopped
sprinkle of cheddar

stick it in the oven for 20 mins gas mark 5/6 - our ovens not very reliable so adjust where necessary
=D much better than yesterdays meals/drinks
Enjoy the exercise ideas and my little recipe
