    Also just added this to my blog... I haven't been on the site in a while, usually on the app so haven't updated anything but this will make me keep coming back :D


    9. What is your favorite type of cardio?

    I really enjoy doing Zumba. Today i started Jillian Michael's 30 day shred. I have been feeling unmotivated and kind of put it off for a few days but finally started it. Some moves were easy because of the Zumba classes. Still need to get weights and a yoga mat though since the floor (hardwood) just doesn't cut it.

    42. How many meals do you usually have a day?

    about 2 real meals and 4 snacks or protein shakes on normal working days:

    First Protein Shake in the morning after bed before my morning workout (Kettlebellswings or Tabata and some stretching)

    Breakfast (11am): Oatmeal with greek yogurt and berries or lentils, eggs and spinach or so

    Lunch (14-15pm): either prepared at home (omelet and veggies or chick peas or whatever) or just some snacking

    Afternoon snacks: coffe with milk, some nuts, 90% chocolate or a green smoothie

    dinner: usually only snacking some cheese, turkey lunch meat cherry tomatoes, hard boiled eggs... (in between or after dance teaching), sometimes some real food after teaching

    before bed snack: another protein shake and depending on hunger and calories some almond butter or tahina

    I have a 1420 net-kcal goal per day and usually some 600-1200 exercising kcals to eat.

    49. What do you usually have for breakfast?
    Weekdays:
    - before leaving for work I eat a low fat yogurt (with a slice of pastrami sometimes) or some milk with cereals and fruits (strawberries or dry cramberries or goju berries), around 250 calories
    - after I get to work I eat some breakfast biscuits, around 250 calories again

    Weekends:
    - some kind of egg recipie, with bacon and melted cheese and some toast; omlette withmushrooms and ham; homemade BLTs or other sandwiches

    I always aim for a 500 calories breakfast because eating a big breakfast makes my day better. :D

    43. Write your current weight. Have you lost anything in the past week? If not, what are your plans for this week?
    I was this morning 65.5 kg (144.4lbs).
    That means I lost another 1/2 kg (1 pound).

    That's ok so far. Today it was the first time someone asked me about my weightloss.

    And I will go on.

    I'll finally do this =P!

    1. Write your current stats: height, current weight and goal weight. Why are you losing weight?

    Height: 5' 3.5" (YES the half inch is important)
    CW: 168.0 (probably not anymore...)
    GW: 130.0

    Why am I losing weight?
    Because I was born fat, according to my family.
    No, really, because I was unable to breathe just going up stairs and hills, and that's not the life a 20 (now 21) year old should be living. I had exceeded my usual skinny fat (135 with no toning) and just become plain fat. Yep. That's going to disappear now.

    I'm in!

    1. Current stats....

    Height: 5'5"
    SW: 188.9
    CW: 186.6
    GW: 132

    Why? I became an aunt for the first time this past March and now that Miss Kendall is getting more mobile I want to be a good role model for her. I've also never owned a bikini and as weird as this might sound...I REALLY want to.

    51. Do you have a cheat day?
    No, I try to be always under my calorie goal. If I want to eat a big bad meal, I just eat less on other meals that day and workout until I can fit that in. I also have a low goal (1 pound per week) so I have everyday about 1800 calories at hand so I can eat junk food in little portions rather often. Which I don't.

    I have `cheat days` when I am off visiting my family, because it's nearly impossible to cope with logging family recipies which I don't cook. But this happens 3-4 times a year, for a few days. And I don't overeat simply because I can't log.

    52. What do you enjoy the most in your weight loss? What makes you happier than ever before?
    I enjoy the fact that I don't get tired as easy as before. I hope to enjoy soon a more beautiful body (the first 21 lbs lost... well... I don't see that much of a loss in myself).

    I enjoy the control I have in my body and the fact that I slowly see something changing...

    45. Do you have a rest day when you don’t work out? Which day is it?
    I try to have one weekend day without too much or with no dancing. Sonetimes it doesn't work because I'm teaching or taking workshops. Then I can really feel my tired muses the next week, while teaching and I have to cut back on training or social dancing.

    And I do 3x Kettlebell plus a rope jump and a push up Tabata. Plus usually 2 days "nothing".

    53. Try to eat nothing but raw food today. No cooking, no baking, no grilling. Eat raw carrots, canned tuna or smoked salmon, maybe even sushi! Just eat fresh, non-termal processed food. It might be weird and unnatural but that’s actually the healthiest way to eat. Enjoy your healthy day!
    I kept to termal processed food at a minimal... but it's winter and cold outhere... gotta have my warm dinner.

    46. Try changing your routine today. Don’t do the same exercises as the week before, learn a new move to cinch that waiste or to tone those thighs!
    I changed my routine last week... And I'm gonna stick to that today. There's no time for trying out today. It's the last Thursday that will be as all my Thursday were for 8 years. And then it's gonna change anyhow ;-)
