TriTerrorTops Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Hi all I'm Terror, long time lurker - first time poster.I'm a roller derby player in the UK, and I've just been promoted to my league's A Team as of January, which is a really big deal for me. I've worked really hard on my skill and have started doing more Plyo/HIIT work recently - but my aim is strength (particularly legs and core), stability, agilty and explosive power.I've recently turned 30 and got married (yay me!) and work in a secondary school full time as a teacher. My Derby training is 7hrs a week spread over three sessions, 40 minutes drive away. I find I'm always busy and lack sleep - but I'm determined to be a better me.I DO NOT like: running, anything aerobics-class-esque (I feel like an idiot clapping my hands above my head)I DO like: kettlebells, skating, working out with my husband I NEED to: drink more water, get more routine in my life, handle cravings/busy times without bad snackingNice to meet you all!T x 3 Quote Terror the RollerDino Gorgon | Level 0 | STR 0 | DEX 0 | STA 0 | CON 0 | WIS 0 | CHA 0 | Current Challenge: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/76190-terror-fighting-to-be-chosen/ MAIN QUEST - Make game roster for my Roller Derby league A Team GOAL 1 - Drink more water| GOAL 2 - At least 2 strength workouts per week (on top of team training)| GOAL 3 - 10 minutes agility, 3 times a week SIDE QUEST - One date night minimum per month with Hubby (no work!)

Basement Cat Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Welcome to the rebellion! Congratulations on the wedding! You can kill two birds with one stones: when you feel like having a snack, drink a tall glass of water. Better yet: Make shaved ice. You take some ice cubes, wrap them in a towel and smash them with a rolling pin or similar heavy object. Place the crushed ice in a bowl and flavor with a bit of juice (not too much!), or vanilla, or other flavor extract. Or just eat it plain. Another trick is to use one cube of frozen juice with, say, 6-10 ice cubes. That's my 2 cents! Good luck and keep us posted!

Rebe_J Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 And Rebe - you're never too old to skate! Oh, I can skate. I just can't kickass. Yet.Let me get through a few challenges here, then, I'll think about it. My Dad loved skating, and was roller-blading into his 70s until a spill caused a detached retina. So, I guess you're right. Never too old. 1 Quote Rebe_J Daily Battle Log: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/84884-rebe_j-joins-the-academy/ Link to comment

TriTerrorTops Posted July 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Hi guys - I fell off the wagon after a few good weeks, but I am respawning as of today!
