Hello everyone!
I made an account a couple weeks ago but this is my first post. I am 18, 5 feet 6, 125 pounds and in university. I was raised on a fairly healthy lifestyle and had quite an active childhood. I danced ballet for twelve years and really enjoyed it, but in the past two years I have been taking Modern Dance classes through the university and they are absolutely wonderful. Last summer my boyfriend, a member on this site, taught me more about eating healthy and designed a workout for me. I have been working out steadily with weights since July and I've learned a lot but I still feel like I know so little. Presently I am working out 4 times a week with weights and attend two 1.5 hour intensive modern dance classes. The classes will soon be over though, due to the term ending and so I will have to resort to cardio, but I am unsure of how to do this properly. I try to eat very healthy. My general meal plan is:
Breakfast:
2 eggs, 1 slice of multigrain toast,orange juice and a grapefruit
lunch:
yogurt, oats, cut up apple and raisins
protein shake (20g)
snack:
two rice cakes, some peanut butter
fresh cut up veggies
protein shake (10g)
or oatmeal with bluberries and a protein shake(10g)
supper:
glass of milk with
either chicken breast with rice and salad
or steak and potatoes and salad
or beef stirfry with pasta and veggies
snack:
apple or banana with peanut butter sumtimes
I have a very busy schedule so I have weights at home, but they limit my excercises sometimes. This is my first year living away from the parents, and not in residence so I;m still learning how to cook, but I really enjoy it. Hope that is enough information to start with...I pretty much wrote a mini essay. I'm really excited to be a part of this site and learn as much as I can.
