End of an Era
I mentioned in my previous post that one of the Zumba instructors, “S”, in my community of Zumba friends announced that she is retiring from Zumba next week. She was the only reason that I was going to possibly hold on to my Y membership since her class was the only class I went to anymore.
In my last post, Election Day & Covid Thoughts, I wrote about how I had pretty much decided that I was going to switch to a new gym. The ONE thing that was keeping me at the Y was that my Zumba friends all went there.
Game On! Diet Competition Update
Game On! Diet competition update:
The first week was easier than I thought it would be. To be honest, I was excited to be able to eat right after I woke up. I was intermittent fasting before I started the competition, so I was used to waiting until 1 pm to be able to eat after having quit eating by 9 pm the day before.
Game On! Diet Competition
I started a new diet on Tuesday. It is based on the book, The Game On! Diet: Kick Your Friend's Butt While Shrinking Your Own.
A friend of mine from Zumba did this diet recently to get rid of the “COVID 17” she put on during the COVID-19 quarantine.
A group of 8 of us split into teams of 4. For the next 4 weeks, we have to abide by the meal plan, water intake, and exercise plan. We also have to get rid of one bad habit and pick up a new good habit.
This is a points-based game. You get points for eating each meal (correctly), drinking 3 liters of water/day, exercising for 20 minutes, and so on.
Indoor & Outdoor Zumba
I have been out and about to a few stores since businesses are re-opening.
Before, I only went inside Costco and Menards due to their mask-wearing requirements. I have now branched out to Target, Festival (grocery store), and T.J. Maxx.
Learn to Love Myself
I married a great guy.
He is never anything but supportive of me, even when I’m not supportive of myself.
For example, I haven’t been happy about the way my body looks for awhile now. I have Scoliosis in my lower back, which makes my hips look off-balance. I have love handles. I also seem to carry all my extra weight in my tummy.
I am aware I’m am not the only one with these issues. These are all common things that women dislike about their bodies.
I plan my life out a day at a time, so my posting schedule can be erratic.
