Plz Introduce yourself to your teammates here. Let's introduce ourselves and meet our teammates. Plz copy/paste this template. Thank you.
What is your name or nickname? Your Team? Heidi (hicim705). Team: 🌶️Red Hot Chili Steppers (RHCS)🌶️ ✈️I'm a member of the Flight Crew✈️ and a proud 🌶️RHCS Captain🌶️
Your Approximate Location: big city near you, province or state, country: New Jersey, USA. A small town in the western part of NJ 'where everyone knows your name' ~ I'm about 1/2 hour from the Crayola Factory in PA.
What is your favorite summer activity? Longer days; slower pace. I like the warmer weather but would be very happy if it stayed in the 80's without humidity, sadly-I rarely get my wish!
What do you like to do for fun, interests, hobbies? I love musical theatree and am often seen performing in local community theatre. My DD, DSIL and I are currently rehearsing for 'Guys & Dolls' which will be performed at the end of July. It really is nice to be able to be back on stage after the hiatus caused by the pandemic.
Your favorite exercise? Favorite and exercise don't really mix well in my world. I always **USED** to say that I don't like to exercise because I don't like to sweat. I guess things have changed because I do love to walk, especially if the weather is nice enough for me to get outside and walk around my little town. If the weather doesn't cooperate, I rely on YouTube videos and/or Leslie Sansone DVD's to help me move.
What do you want to accomplish this 5% season? I want to get back 'on the wagon' and get more serious about leading a healthy lifestyle and being able to say that I'm a little lighter at the end of the Challenge than I am today.
What non-scale victories (NSVs) will you accomplish this summer? Getting back into a routine when it comes to my health/healthy eating. Consistency is key. Why is it so easy to forget that and so difficult to get back into a routine once again?
What diet/meal plan/style are you following?Trying to eat healthier by incorporating more fruits and vegetables; portion control. Nothing specific, just some common sense and putting into practice once again things that I already know and concentrating on consistency.
What are your proudest health/fitness/physical achievements? Finding the 5% Challenges and becoming a leader. Getting down to my goal (even though it didn't last as eveidenced by the fact that I need to get there once again). Having 5% Challnege members thank me for leading the team and offering support when I can.
What health/fitness advice/knowledge has helped you? I'm still 'always a work in progress'. Before I can answer that question, I think I need to find out what works for me.
2 random fun facts about you? I have DD that got married TWICE during a pandemic. I don't know if that is 'fun' or 'sad' but it is a fact, but a fun fact is that I did become a MIL! When I was younger, I was a travel agent and went on a 3 day cruise that cost me less than $20 out of pocket between airfare/port taxes.
Post a picture of yourself if you like. Can't think of a good one right now. Perhaps I'll get one or two from the show and can post at a later date, iif I remember.
Anything else you would like to share?I can't beleive that I never filled this out way back when I joined the 2022 5% Challenge Community Team. It was an oversight, for sure. I'm glad that it was part of the pre-Challenge activities. Although I started them late, I know that going through these exercises gets me in the proper frame of mind so that I WILL have success in the 2022 Summer 5% Challenge!Heidi (hicim705)
