Today, I started following Valerie's RCR plan and did my first workout. She's right, this is tough for those who haven't worked out in a while. I was only able to do one full circuit of Circuit #1 and 2 and the first two exercises in Circuit #3. The planks are just impossible for me right now - no upper body strength and too much lower body weight pulling me down. I will not give up though!

Breakfast
1/2 cup organic oatmeal with 1/4 cup pineapple slices and one brazil nut, a 1/4 tsp of honey.

Snack
1 tomato with 1/4 tsp olive oil drizzled over top
1 oz of goat cheese

Lunch
Green peppers with ground beef - not sure of the exact weight as my husband cooked it all together. I added 1/2 cup brown rice to mine.

Snack
1 red delicious apple and 1 TBSP almond butter

Supper
4 oz roasted chicken
1/2 dinner plate of steamed cabbage & pat of butter

Post-workout shake - 1 scoop of protein powder, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1 tsp gycine and 6 oz water

Food-wise, I am a little limited as I recently found out that I am extremely allergic to eggs, dairy (with the exception of whey protein and butter) and most beans, spinach, walnuts, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds (to name a few). So that also leaves out Ezekiel bread, although I'm not sure if the sprouting of the grains makes a difference or not.
