I know, I'm late on the transition from one Hive to another, but I'm here.
So, let's get to the intro post:
About me.
Hi, Stella here, I'm an English teacher (currently not teaching) who's working on her way to another career (being that Computer Science), and now has a stable job that can allow not only donate to DAREBEE —a platform I love so so so much and has helped me to keep my health in good state— but finally afford fitness equipment.
Why do I train?
For two reasons: the first one being to stay active, because of a spine problem I developed back in my teen days, which has an effect on my hips and creates a risk on my leg mobility; the second one being to reach my old age in good health, to keep enjoying life.
DAREBEE helped me fall in love with my body and what's capable of, so I literally feel a bit bad whenever I don't train, unless it's quite justified.
About my regime.
I'm currently doing Hard Reset Strength and Ironheart programs, taking advantage I got a pair of 2kgs dumbbells last week (which are starting to feel light sooner than I thought), along a HIIT training from an app, each on different days of course. I had a list of what I wanted to do but it was left behind on the other thread.
Sleep is going much better, but I still have to work on the time a bit because I'm starting to lose track again, so I'll keep notes on that, and a sugar consumption log. Those who know me may remember how my sugar levels literally plummet when doing too long or too heavy workouts, alongside neglecting my low sugar situation (ref: Military Fit Day 7 aftermath. Didn't take any sugar for two days and almost ended up in a diabetic coma once I finished the workout). Though, I got to say that I've managed to find a solution for it, which happens to be a certain famous sport drink, besides making some small adjustments to my diet I was recommended time ago by a doctor.
Also, if you've seen that I haven't added all the other badges and achievements is because I plan to take this new Hive situation to restart most programs and challenges, except for Foundation, Foundation Light, Baseline, Zero Hero, and Square One programs, which I finished on their highest levels, I'm really curious on where I am right now fitness-wise, also it gives me a chance to work on those programs that I haven't been able to finish on level 3, like Athena's Playbook (my first DAREBEE program, back in 2017).
I hope you guys are doing awesome, I love you all, and I'm glad to be back.
P.S: Going once more with the Sorceress class until the Warrior Nun one shows up.

, which makes me happy. Though my grandma is saying I'm getting bigger, overall.
. Couldn't help to add that Xpress Tone program since it's an addon, and my arms are thankful for it, it really made everything better with my current dumbbells, training to fatigue might have been what I needed to challenge myself a bit, especially with IRONHEART being kinda too easy today for me. I was surprised I didn't go dizzy with all those upward downward dogs when doing HRS, they can get me quite dizzy when going up to 20 or more. The Yoga Day from the HIIT Training was really good for my body, and went smooth.
!
I've had fun and the results have been amazing. Still, I can't wait to do (or more like redo) other programs like Ironborn, also, I'd very much like to finally tackle Age of Pandora or Hero's Journey soon, as well as coming face-to-face with Military Fit once more to check if this sugar control is working 100%.
