SOOOOO I was on a grand adventure on the East Coast when this started so I am still trying to figure out what the heck I am doing for this challenge. I will probably tweak this a bit as we go but my main goal here is: LIFE BALANCE- Make sure I have at least one free evening per week and one weekend day where I have at least 4 hours straight of down time. This..might be a challenge and will be not doable on the week when my show opens buuuut otherwise should be doable! Now to think up a few small measurable goals to complement! Also ...uh... I maybe just agreed to do a second and possibly third show that is going to be overlapping with my rehearsals for the play I'm doing (but the dance we are doing for the one is ALSO going to be in the other if we end up getting that one... director switch drama. Anyway!) Because I am terrible but also because I LOVE DANCING AND I CANT PASS UP A DANCE SHOW. I'm basically going to make half the dance rehearsals for now then transition to making all rehearsal once my play opens in mid-October! + New goal- Drink more water!!! - I realize I've gotten worse about my water drinking since being on vacation. (I was trying not to drink hoards because access to a public bathroom isn't always available every minute when wandering around doing tourist stuff! And also I hate having to get up to go to the bathoom a ton of times on flights if I can avoid it!) My goal is to: drink 3, 16 oz glasses of water (or about 6 cups of water) at minimum per day. I've been particularly terrible about this on work days, so my specific mini goal for weekdays is to finish my water cup I have on my desk at least once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

Hi, everybody! I'm a 21 year old, 5'9", 180 lbs woman, and I'm trying to get more lean. When I was 15 I was a size 16 and since then I've lost 6 sizes but no weight, all muscle replacing fat. I've recently started on a strict 5 day workout (strength alternating with interval running) and caloric deficit to work off the last 30 lbs for two of the nerdiest reasons; American Ninja Warrior and perfectly portraying the green goddess Jennifer Walters for halloween (not exclusively for halloween, but you get the idea). I work in a doughnut shop so all day I'm lifting 5 gallon buckets of frosting and racks of doughnuts, lots of physical activity. I've done great not eating doughnuts that are too sweet, just plain no glaze or frosting. I'm also a freakshow performer, a human-blockhead, juggler, rubiks cube speedsolver and strong-woman. Thats another motivation for pushing myself from %27 BMI to %24-22, I'm darn strong for a woman but if I lose that weight I'll have a much more intimidating prowess/presence. Thanks to everybody for all the info and support!
