Terah - Fast, Dance, Eat, Repeat

[Terah]

Yes, I said I would take the week off. But the new forums look so shiny and pretty I couldn't resist.

If you think: what does this image do here. Well, it's a shiny and pretty object. Just like the new forums.

 

Hi, I'm Terah, and I'm a zumba addict. 

I've been doing challenges here since forever (okay, since January 2015, but it seems like forever). I've been trying to lose weight and get a fitness routine in place. I found zumba and I practice it twice a week. Two challenges ago I rediscovered my love for swimming. This year I lost 5 kg's, and I'm hoping to lose some more before 2017 starts. 

 

My plan for this challenge: Stop obsessive tracking. No spreadsheet this time. I'll just do the best I can and won't beat myself up when I had to skip a goal.

 

 

Food goal: Intermittent fasting. My first meal of the day will be lunch, my last will be dinner. I won't obsess about a certain number of hours. I won't obsess about kcal. I'll just try to eat as healthy as possible, with the occasional treat. 

 

 

Fitness goal: Continue zumba and swimming. Listen to my body. If I can do more, I will. If I need to take it easy, I will too. No guild, just fun.

 

 

Life goal: I'll continue with the Spanish lessons, but no pressure, it needs to be fun. I'll continue with my Bullet Journal, just to make my life easier.

Good luck with your challenge and kick ass!

"I would rather be a killer / than a victim of circumstance / because I just won't listen / when you tell me how to dance."

I have nothing but respect for dancers, I happen to be married to a dancer. I just have all the rhythm and grace of drunken donkey with three broken legs.

Good luck with the next challenge but don't look for me on a dance floor [emoji12]

Word.  I can keep time just fine in my head/with my voice, but any other part of my body is always a half-beat behind.  I can't even clap on beat for long.  I do love to dance, though.

Whahaha. I must say there are a few like you in my zumba class. But they still have fun

Never let lack of talent stop you from having fun!

We've got a choreography on this song. I think Scott would approve

Week 0, day 1

 

Food: Kept to my eating window. I did include chocolate and pancakes, so there is some room for improvement.

Exercise: I was planning to go swimming, but I don't feel comfortable swimming while the sharks are visiting, so I'll be watching Iron man 3 with SH Super Husband in stead. 

Life: There were only 3 things I needed to do today, so I figured I could remember them without my BuJo  No Spanish lessons today.

 

It was a quiet day. I worked on a large order most of the day, and the rest was spent planning A's birthday party. He'll be 6 years old September 30th.

Week 0, day 2

 

Food: I needed food to go with the painkillers and it kind of went downhill from that. 

Exercise: I didn't make it to zumba class because I felt so crappy

Life: BuJo used, but not much crossed off

 

I kept the kids alive and did a bit of laundry. The sharks really did a number on me today. I'm starting to feel better (still a bit stoned from the painkillers). It will be an early bed and I'll work my butt of tomorrow.

[Ensi]

Feel better soon, Terah! Sending you a lot of kind thoughts

You got the important things done and that's all you need.

I did both today. With two kids. One got a scraped knee, but the other one is still in one piece  (Although he peed himself trice)

Scraped knees build character anyway.

LOL He must have a LOT of character by now

I loved doing Zumba when it was offered at our gym, (even if I was the only guy in the room) still so much fun  Its like a dance-y workout I've been doing intermittent fasting for a while now, mostly just because the earliest time I can eat at school is 1:25pm but it works out well and I don't think about food for most of the day. Plus since you're skipping breakfast you can have a HUGE dinner and it doesn't feel like you're on a diet at all! 

 

Following along for Doodlie awesomeness  and friends

You are so badass! In the evening classes we have 2, sometimes 3 guys (and the teacher is a guy) between 30 women

Exactly! I take a huge lunch and a small dinner. And I get so much more done in the mornings.

Week 0, day 3

 

I felt better today, I'm not there yet, but I can function again. I managed to fast until lunch, but I didn't stop eating after dinner. Baby steps. At least I did better than yesterday. Progress, not perfection and all such.

I didn't had any exercise planned. 

 

Oh, and the children are still alive. Although A has scraped his elbow today. Ah, well, that goes nicely with his two scraped knees  (He came to me yelling "I'm flooding, I'm flooding!" when a bit of blood leaked out of his elbow  )

Muy buenas metas, ¡suerte!

Week 0, day 4

 

Food - Stayed within my window. Not all perfect foods, but a lot of veggies   

Fitness - Zumba! My legs are hurting so bad from all the squat routines  It is good pain  

Life - I'm struggling to get my house and my business back on track. Every time I get sick or am not able to do stuff I get so terribly  behind. My bullet journal is helping me a lot
