Starting Over, this time with Roller Derby

So Ive gone up a few pounds since the last time I was here ( and luckily it really was a few, i gained back five) and i want to get back into the habit of eating healthy and exercising. The second bit was always a "If i have time" or a "If i can get out of bed early enough to work out" kind of schpiel that never really worked. So, by chance, i stumbled upon the local derby team and i joined! I can't skate very well, but I am learning and its one hell of a workout so its a win-win.

Anyways, just trying to meet some new and supportive people, as the others i had on here have drifted and dissapeared as i did.

Great to meet you all :D

    My daughter did roller derby for a while and was in the best shape of her life! The practices were an incredible workout and she loved it! I'm sure you will really enjoy being on the team!

    I'm sending you a friend request - I can't wait to hear about your roller derby workouts!

  • I LOVED roller derby and miss it terribly - I unfortunately don't have the time to commit to it anymore though. Feel free to add me if you'd like some support! Good luck! :)

    Yah, rollergirl here as well! I've been doing it for a little over a year but have taken some time off recently due to knee pain and plantar fasciitis. It will definitely help tone you up- I ended up gaining weight over the past year instead of losing. So you've absolutely got to eat healthy and not "treat" yourself after a hard workout.
    Best of luck with derby! Feel free to add me if you'd like!

    Totally jealous, roller derby seems so cool. Keep us updated on how it's going :)
  • That sounds awesome and fun! I've always wished I could do that, but I've always been really bad at skating. Have fun!
