Hey girls!
Ready for Day 13?
For breakfast, toast a slice of wholegrain bread and top it with scrambled egg, a drizzle of honey and some dried fruit. The perfect combination to give you energy, protein and keep you feeling full until lunch.
TODAY’S RECIPE
For lunch or dinner, we’re going with a carrot soup!
Ingredients (serves 4):
600g carrots
400g potatoes
1 to 1.5 litres of water, depending on desired consistency
3 portions of cream cheese (optional)
Juice of one lemon
Salt, pepper, nutmeg, garlic
Method:
Peel and roughly chop the potatoes and carrots.
Place them in the water with the lemon juice, salt, pepper, nutmeg and garlic.
Cover and simmer over a low heat for around 30 minutes.
Once cooked, stir in the cream cheese portions.
Blend until smooth. Done!
Today’s exercise: the bridge
1- Lie on your back, arms alongside your body, head straight and knees bent. Press your feet firmly into the floor — they will act as your anchor.
2- Bring your knees as close to your glutes as possible.
3- Engage your core, then push through your feet to lift your hips, squeezing your glutes as you rise.
4 – Your hips, thighs and knees should form a straight line. Lower yourself back to the starting position, back flat on the floor, then repeat.
Fitness challenge: complete 2 sets of 40 slow reps + 2 sets of 40 fast reps!
