The Ringmaster's First Challenge

[vegas_ringmaster]

Fresh off the boat here and excited to get started. So here's my level 1 challenge

 

Diet:

Swap out one soda per day with black tea. I've been rearranging things so that tea is always within easy reach at home and the office.

Make at least 7 meals per week at home. Since I'm in the habit of eating out for every meal, that's more or less a 50% reduction.

 

Fitness:

Walk at lest five minutes per day.

Five Minutes Daily Meditation

 

For some reason the site seems to be refusing me (displaying as offline) whenever I try to post my intro on the correct board. Anyone know what' going on there?

Sometimes try a different browser, or just try again later... 

 

I saw your intro on the other board, what style belly dance do you do? For quite a few years I did American Tribal Style. Still have thoughts about going back and getting my teacher certification, but that's on the back burner for now

I think there must be a character limit when you're in that first day probationary period. Its fixed now. I can tell you its not ATS but honestly, not too sure beyond that. Its taught by a friend I met a while back. I accidentally wound up dancing with her troupe in a group number at one point and she's been trying to get me into it ever since.

Hi there!

 

What kind of meals are you making at home?

 

I'm also trying to reduce the number of sodas I drink.    Best of luck to you!

At this point, I'm sticking to quick and easy. Tonight was French bread pizza because I had about 20 minutes between work and rehearsal. Weekends I've already been making a point to make breakfast and tea, generally waffles and bacon. I'll worry about cooking healthy as I go. Eating out in Vegas is so cheap and fresh food is so expensive (and goes bad quickly when you're cooking for one) that its genuinely economical to eat out every meal in Vegas. So this month is just focusing on getting back in the habit of cooking.

One way to make cooking for one easier is batch cooking, then you also have quick/easy things to reheat in the freezer!

Si I still don't have a solid answer because its one of those things where someone has taken a few styles and picked out the best points of each. Apparently the basic moves are very similar to ATS but beyond the basic moves its more similar to Tribal Fusion. I also have a couple of long distance friends who dance as well, so at big events we'll probably be swapping moves between everyone.

Good day today. I was out on my regular walk and found someone had thrown out a tire painted red and black. Perfect piece for my post-apocalyptic Ringmaster outfit! So rather than go back for the truck, I rolled it the four blocks home.
