I’ve bought myself a laptop lunchbox after reading through veganlunchbox! I’ve been wanting to get one for a little while and get into it, so it came this morning and I’m pretty excited to get into bento eating! These are hugely popular with many flickr groups available and lots of different recipes for bentos. I’ll be posting some of my own recipes are shortly and hopefully it will keep me eating properly and losing weight.

As for today, I slept in a little and got up and did a resistance workout with a 40 minute itrain iclimb session at home and also an ab workout to top it off! Boy, did I sweat!
