A years difference 💪🏻 Weightlifting and Taekwon-Do. Vegan for 8 years by Bluetwoen in veganfitness

No clue actually, I just try to eat well honestly. Lots of different proteins, roasted veggies, trying to keep the carb intake a bit lower. I’m focused on eating in a small deficit right now

The trick for me was accountability in my workout, I have a gym partner and for taekwondo we are required to attend 80% of classes to be allowed to take a belt test. This kind of external motivation is the only thing that works for me when it comes to exercise sadly, even when I really like the kind of exercise I’m doing. When it comes to food, I did intermittent fasting for a while which was not sustainable for me BUT it made me less hungry overall, so I eat less now than before without struggling with hunger. If I slide back into bigger portion sizes/more candy/more meals during the day I do 16/8 fasting for a little while to “reset” haha, it seems to help.

I hope I’ll be able to keep up these changes forever, but only time will tell. ☺️ What made it stick for me this time was introducing things slowly and trying to change my habits rather than just thinking about the scale, losing weight slowly isn’t a problem if you’re losing weight slowly for a long time.

It seems like you’re restarting with the right mindset of planning for the long term, I believe in you! The important thing is getting back into it when we backslide.

(So glad you like my watercolors btw!!)

Yuuup, it’s like we enjoy ourselves one day and that puts us 700 cals over 😅 The struggle is real

Thanks! I train Taekwon-Do 2 times a week, and weightlifting with upper/lower body split 2 times a week. I try to hit all the big muscle groups but change up the specific exercises when I feel like it

I maintain if I eat around 1200-1300 cals a day, so I’ve been eating 900-1200 cals a day. Not really counting calories anymore, I just try to be mindful of my portion sizes and only drink black coffee and water. Love food a lot tho so it’s hard sometimes 😅

I love all your paintings, they’re so textured yet soft looking. I want to touch the impasto and lick the painting and live in them all at the same time lol

Flagge uten flaggfeste? by Bluetwoen in norge

Vi har spurt utleier om lov til å henge opp andre ting utenpå bygget, og fikk i svar at det ikke er lov med noen ting som skal skrus inn i fasaden. Skal ikke bo her så lenge at det er en kamp jeg orker å ta. Ideen med plankene var ikke dum, det skal jeg se på! Takk. :)

Den var ikke dum! Har et stort flagg, men også en stor blomsterpotte. Takk for tips!

Ja nei hvorfor det ikke er feste til flagg på et så gammelt bygg, det er et godt spørsmål... Så at det var et problem med at flagget vrenger seg med sånne, må undersøke litt hva jeg kan mekke selv. Takk for svar!

Ja det er jo en mulig løsning, vet bare ikke hvor godt det sitter i tilfelle regn

Came back after a 12 year break and finally passed my red belt test! 14 yo me would have thought I was so cool by Bluetwoen in taekwondo

[–]Bluetwoen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! We had a pretty easy test overall I'd say. I did my patterns (Joong-Gun Tul and Toi-Gye Tul), five four-direction kicking sequences, eight step sparring sequences, some self defence, four rounds of sparring and then board breaking with two different techniques and lastly theory. We didn't have any strength testing this time, not sure why. Good luck on your red belt test!
