What are my fitness goals? To figure out this whole exercise thing so that I don't keep getting injured. To slim down so that I can be more marketable in performing. To become a better dancer and do a solo burlesque show. To build my strength and fitness levels so that I set myself up for a happy, healthy future, both…

My Fitness Story: I will try to keep this brief. I will fail at this... :) At 5'5" and 176.6 lbs, I am the tallest and biggest of anyone in my family, including the men (family of Lilliputians). I was thin as a child and only remember being made aware of my weight when my grammy stood me in front of a mirror at age 13…

I'm loving all of the posts here, so I decided to join in. Please pardon the next three, as I'm catching up on the daily questions. 10 facts about me: 1) I'm an opera singer/actor. I've been performing professionally since the age of 10. 2) My favourite novel is The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. 3) I love sushi!…

The one thing missing here is the relationship between sugar and fibre. In a whole fruit, like an apple, the fibre in the fruit slows the absorption of the sugar. This slower release of sugar into the blood stream means that you don't see the same sugar spike that you would from consuming a chocolate chip cookie (which is…

At 5'5", I've settled on 130 as my UGW. I've been both smaller and larger than that, but I preferred how I looked around that weight. Of course, I will adjust as necessary depending on how I feel. I come from a family of Lilliputians, being the tallest and widest of anyone (including the men), so this will still leave me…

I deal with this too. For me, low impact physical activity is best to start (think walking outside, swimming, yoga, etc.). I also journal, do something creative, or call a friend if it's getting really crazy. In terms of food/drink, tea is my friend. Something soothing like peppermint or warming like genmaicha. If I have a…

Avocado toast topped with whatever you want (hardboiled egg slices, salt and pep are my go-tos. Always pick a whole grain bread - I like Ezekiel.). Fruit and plain skyr or greek yogurt Smoothies with protein powder The key, at least for me, is to have a nice mix of protein and fat in the morning.

Half an avocado, bowl of strawberries, and a simply protein bar (and my multivitamin).

Confessions: 1) I kind of blame my boyfriend for my weight gain (I know that it's wrong, but I sometimes can't help it). I'm a vegetarian/pescetarian who eats very lightly. He's a carbitarian/carnivore who hates most vegetables. He loves his heavy food and beer. He doesn't really want to exercise or do outdoor activities,…

Breakfast: Blackberries, Raspberries, Half an Avocado, Simply Protein Bar, Multivitamin Lunch: Sushi - tekka maki (with rice), cucumber and salmon hand roll (no rice), and a couple of bites from the bf's Yam Tempura Dinner: Miso-Tahini Roast Veggie bowl - cauliflower rice mixed with quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted…

Once I get to 165 (halfway to my healthy BMI from where I started - 186.5ish), I get the Lost Ocean colouring book. Super excited! CW - 181. 5.5 lbs lost in 3 weeks.

Juice and any fruit drink thing...I drink way too much of it! Also, ice cream and tempura.
