Renegade Man Makers?

I'm currently writing this post in bed.. After yesterdays workout I'm really suffering with DOMS! Especially in my back, I hope work isn't too strenuous tonight, I won't be able to keep up!

So here's what got me so sore... It's Mike's fault really I was just going to go for a run but the torrential rain was putting me off a bit so he tempted me with this killer workout..

Part 1
30s Burpees
30s High Knee DB Press
30s 1-2 Sprawl
30s Jumping Jacks
30s Shadow Boxing

x 4 rounds back to back

Rest 3 minutes

Part 2
30 Renegade Man Makers (2 x 3.5kg DB)
As fast as possible (I forgot to record the time I was so beat at the end... Next time!)

I would try and explain what a renegade man maker is but this video does it a lot better, I must confess I didn't do it with the push-up in. I could barely finish it without a push-up!



I just remembered I forgot to tell you all we couldn't go boxing on Thurs as it wasn't on! Should have checked the opening times before getting all excited. We hope to start back next week, Tuesday I'm hoping!

Now I haven't been in bed all morning. I did manage to do some baking while I was cooking breakfast. I made a quiche and a cheese and onion pasty. The quiche is half veggie sausage and tomato and half broccoli, mushroom, onion and tomato. I just went downstairs with Mike to photograph and try them both and phew! They worked ok. No soggy bottom and no runny egg in the middle, success! Next thing is to try making the pastry 100% from scratch. I used a packet mix where you just add cold water but it would be so much nicer to do it all myself.

First attempts at quiche and pasty.

Half broccoli, mushroom, onion and tomato and half veggie sausage and tomato.

Close-up!

The pasty.. notice the crack where someone (Mike) decided it would be a good idea to poke it... hmph!

Inside the pasty.. Next time could do with more filling I think!

Yum, I'll be making these again, only needed a small slice of each and I'm stuffed! They will be good for Mike to take to uni and for me to take to work :-)

What would you like to eat in a quiche? Inspire me for me next one!
