Breakfast was the usual and just normal now and the same with lunch just fit it around my day job and have my supplements and shakes while I was driving around. I had to sort out my dinner early tonight as Zumba was t 8pm so if I ate it too late I wouldn't feel like bouncing around with food still not digested so I ate around 5pm. I opted for a Slimming World ready meal because my friend had given it me for an occasion when I was in a rush and didn't have time to cook from scratch.
The above is what it should look like and below how it turned out. I wasn't too far from the advertised pictures, just maybe not as vibrant colours etc. Even though the meal was well under the 600 calories I also had a bowl of my free veg soup so that I wasn't left feeling hungry. One thing I am conscious of though is that ready meals even if they are lot calories, do tend to have hidden salts, sugars and preservatives that you don't get when you cook from scratch yourself. I know they are good for convenience when you are in a rush but you could probably have a larger, more filling portion with less nasties if you make it yourself.
Just to keep active but without having to do the 24 every day I went to my friends Zumba class for an hour. It feel less like exercise and more like a party, so you don't realise how much cardio you are doing. My body certainly felt the burn as my T-shirt was drenched. Clearly I am unfit. I read on a friends post yesterday that sweat is fat crying lol, I like that phrase., Thanks Lisa Riley, you were actually my inspiration for going to Zumba tonight. If anybody has mad a massive body transformation this girl has beyond belief. Not only has she changed her physical appearance but also her complete outlook on life.
One more day to go and then I I have done my 9 day cleanse. I am going to do some batch cooking this week so I have some low-calorie meals made up of my own ready meals for when I am busy. I do also find I eat a lot more fresh food when I cook from scratch which must be a good thing.
Here's to my last day of the 9 day cleanse tomorrow.
