I am ready to kick some ass! I'm not doing the whole summer break thing For those who don't know me: I've got the fitness thing down, and I'm going to keep on dancing. Starting next week I'll dance 4 hours a week (two hours zumba and 2 hours dancehall) with an other instructor. I'm really looking forward to this! My life goals are settled too. I've got a few different small jobs now, and looking for more while still trying to do a great job at the ones I have. It's settled in my routine right now, so no need to make this a challenge. So what am I going to do this round? This challenge I will focus on weight loss. I will combine IF (intermittent fasting) with kcal counting. Now I know I've said I hate kcal counting in the past. But I don't seem to get out of it if I want to lose weight. And in combination with IF it's not that bad. I only have to plan two meals and one snack a day. I'm going to eat 1200 kcal a day, 1500 on the days I have zumba practice. I know I can't outrun my fork, but I do need a little extra after such an intense workout. My eating window will be between 12:00 and 18:00 (lunch, snack and dinner). This way I'll still be able to eat big meals and feel satisfied and still lose weight And to be more accountable I've registered with DietBet. I've paid 35 dollars and if I lose 4% or more of my weight within 4 weeks I get my money back and probably a bonus. If I don't, I lose the money. I've always been motivated by money, so I'm sure this will help me lots.
