The kids must just love getting such cool lunches. I'd be jealous of I was a classmate!

Lunch t'day was tamagoyaki, rice, kimchi and a tofu burger. I've had so much energy today for some reason. Just bouncing off the walls. Literally! Dancing in the house. I suppose I outta put that to good use and actually clean some! HUOH!

Kristel's bento, snack cucumber, babybel, egg, laughing cow cheese, mini sushis, nuts, mini chocobar and shaped onigiri.

Judy's bento, the same as Kristel's.



My bento consists of snack cucumber, 2 eggs, mini sushi, onigiri with umeboshi, babybel and a laughing cow cheese and last but not least, ingredients for a bowl of miso soup, wakame seaweed, tofu, and spring onions. I found this awesome package of premade miso soup stuff so i'm gonna buy more, it makes it easy for me to enjoy one of my favourite soups.


Kees' bento has mostly the same as mine, minus the soup. He has no way to make soup, so I gave him nuts and cranberries and sweet red peppers instead.

Three months? have we really been doing this that long?
My bentos started repeating long ago, and now that my work schedule will be slowing down a bit i can get back to the real important things in life.

I made sushi tuesday evening for dinner, and it turned out good, even if it was just the cucumber avocado version.

Oh and the fake crab stuff can be frozen, i wish i had seen that on the package BEFORE it went bad.

Off to make Kees his lunch for tomorrow.
I even made TINY bento sized sushi, using only half a sheet of nori. they were CUTE, almost like the ones from the sushi place.

No more pictures from me unless the bento is exceptional. I've made enough different meals that they are beginning to repeat now and that's just boring. I have done VERY well sticking to my working out and more responsible eating. Since the promise was made to work out at least 5x a week for 15mins+ in March, I have not missed a single week and my workouts are always 30+ minutes. I have been wearing my extreme low-rise 'goal pants' comfortably outside the house for a month now and my pants size is a steady 36 (USA size 6) so long as it isn't a 36 skinny-fit pants. I hold the bulk of my fat in my thighs and lower legs, so I'd still like to trim up quite a lot there. I have cankles, it's so very sad.

All in all, bentos and exercise have been quite a success for me. I'm far more fit and much more happy in general.

Here's to the next 3 months on plan!

Potato salad and vegetarian sausage with a bowl of special K.

There was no bento Sunday because we went to Metropolis, and nothing photogenic Saturday because I had just packed up leftover BBQ hamburgers for our 60km bikeride. We got soaked to the bone on that ride, but it was still fun. Good practice for getting drenched camping soon.

South Central above and below is one of the typical festival fellas, wearing a wizard hat and holding Kermit.

Mashed potatos and 3x ikea kottbullar with lingonberry sauce. Some roggebrood and tahina. Cheese and dried sweet potato.

Yesterday was mini pizza and spinich wraps.

And it wouldn't be 4th of July without a BBQ and boom sticks :)

Somen & tamagoyaki plus spinach wraps! Simple is nice. I'm all bloat right now and wish mother nature would just go ahead and visit! My butt is still sore as heck too!

We have Chinese tokos, Indian tokos, Turkish tokos... I suppose IKEA is the Swedish toko! The only really special thing in the pic is the cloudberry vinegar seen in the middle. Wonder how it tastes!

Hubby's bento consists of a ontbijtspek sandwich, a babybel, fruit salad left over from last night, and tomato, cucumber, olive and feta cheese salad left over from last night, and two little pieces of watermelon.


Judy's bento consists of a snack cucumber, piece of watermelon, fruit salad, a piet pirate hagelslag sandwich, a babybel and a muesli bar.



Kristel's bento consists of K3 hagelslag sandwich, babybel, snack cucumber, fruit salade, tomato, cucumber, olive and feta cheese salad, and i had to slice her piece of watermelon in half to get it to fit in the bento and she has a muesli bar as well.



My bento for today consists of fruit salad, greek salad, 2 pumpkin seed wasa crackers, 2 laughing cow cheese wedges and a babybel.

Rice & Kimchi, Carrots & Hummus to dip. This one's goin on the road with me, because I'm going to bike with Mark to work this morning. I'll hit IKEA then eat my faboo little bento outdoors!

But gah, my ass is so sore today. I decided to actually get a workout dvd because most of the things I attempt aren't cardio based, and I wanted to try and get my heart rate up and have some idea of doing it correctly. Well, I did the level 1 workout on the dvd and thought I was already going to die. My posterier hates me now.

Sarah, it's great to see you posting again :)
