Well I joined RC, even though i was making a million excuses in my head as to why i couldnt go this week. The zumba was fun, but god im so unfit and so uncoordinated! My feet are pinned to the ground, but i did get to move around a bit. My friend was there! I wasnt expecting that, it was so good to see her. She joined a couple weeks ago, she is good dancer unlike me who has no sense of rythym at all lol.
The diet itself? well, it looks pretty good but is in phases. Week 1 and 2 are basically split into breakfast of 200 cals, lunch 300, dinner 400, 2 snacks of fruit and three quarter pint skimmed milk, totalling 1200 cals a day. There is also the 5% fat rule, with all foods consumed having less than 5%. Calorie wise and fat wise absolutely fine for me, except im not giving up butter or olive oil ( i eat tiny amounts of those anyway, a quarter tsp of butter and a spray of 1cal olive oil in my eggs) or full fat milk. Ok, i could go semi skimmed, makes no difference to me but Cliff complains like hell. Actually, now i think about it, I WILL go for semi skimmed milk. Cliff will get used to it.
Im not going to change what I have for breakfast, RC diet tends to be cereal, i dont eat cereal. So I will stick with the scrambled eggs and ham and an orange, comes to about 300 cals. I really want to start to have a sandwich at lunchtime every day, so thats about 300 cals. Piece of fruit when i get home, and about 300 cals for dinner, some kind of meat or fish and salad usually. I wont get through three quarter pint of milk a day so i will throw in a fat free greek yoghurt somewhere as well. I think that will more or less do it, and its not too far removed from the RC diet plan, im just swapping 100 cals from dinner to breakfast, and having some yoghurt in place of some milk.
The only thing that actually bothers me a little bit is the lady who runs it is really overweight. But she can certainly move herself to zumba! and she runs 8 classes a week, so she has to be pretty fit. Anyway, who am i to judge, as long as i keep my weight down and get fit thats all that should worry me. Of course, 1 zumba class a week isnt going to get me fit, its just the first step.
There was no patronising chat after the weigh in, no chat at all in fact! It was annoucing slimmer of the week then straight into zumba. Well, so much for support, hmmmm. Still it gave me time to chat to my friend.
I did get given the RC portion pots, which are a very good idea. A set of 4 different size cup measures to give precise portions of various foods. Very useful, I will definately use those.
Do you sell on it too? I really need to get selling all my too big stuff so i've got money for the new smaller stuff
