Roller Derby Workout Challenge Week #1

Welcome back! Have you subscribed to my email newsletter yet?

Estro Jen and Go-Go Gidget of the Roller Derby Workout video (which I just ordered and will review upon arrival) have created a killer 8-week program designed specifically for roller derby athletes. It isn’t about being skinny; it is about being strong. Actually, it’s about winning a trip to LA for a lot of people. For me, it’s about losing this Buddha belly.

I’m  supposed to be posting my progress in a Facebook note, but I can’t figure out how to do it, and this is so much more informative for you if I write about my adventures here!

To kick it off, I’m going to tell you about myself. My name is Amanda “funkEpunkEmonkE” Suzzi. I’ve had the nickname since high school.  I play inside blocker for Providence Roller Derby’s Killah Bees.

Providence Roller Derby, the first Women’s Flat Track Roller Derby League in New England,  was created by Sarah Doom in 2004. Lots of the women are great role models. Some are doctors or lawyers, some them own businesses, and some are mothers, like me. Actually, I’m a mother that owns businesses and like to sit around and eat all day.

The hardest nutrition guideline for me to follow has always been less sugar. I have a major sweet tooth. Luckily, I just went shopping and stocked up on a whole lot of yummy healthy food. The last thing I ate was half a banana, fed to me by my one year old. I’ll round out breakfast with a cup of tea and some scrambled eggs.

Roller Derby Workout Challenge has a week #1 meal plan posted on the facebook group, and I plan to follow that (as long as the stuff is already in the house). There is no way I’m going to eat cottage cheese. Each day is one breakfast, one lunch, one dinner and two snacks. That’s the same as my current diet, so it’ll be easy to stay on schedule.

I was a little worried that the meals would be a far cry from what I normally eat, but they’re pretty dead on. I’ve been eating a lot of protein and veggies lately, which concurs with the plan. I made an easy reference pdf.

As for the fitness plan, it’s going to kick my butt. I’ll let you know how hard it is at the end of the week.
