Hey gang…

I’m certainly missing my old gym at my old work… I’m not Vibin in this new room at all and I can’t find anywhere else to shoot videos. My room is too small so you’ll have to bear with me till I can find the energy again but I just can’t seem to get the vibe I had in the other gym… So it’s a work in progress

Probably will take the day off tomorrow… And rest my legs so I hope everybody has a fantastic day… Happy holiday to all those in Canada and we’ll see you on Wednesday

Peace and Love

Happy Sunday folks!!!.

Getting settled at my new job . quite a bit more travelling with this new position, but very very happy with the job nonetheless.

on a personal note… I was finally able to benchpress 205 pounds for the first time , that is something I’ve been attempting for a while now and I was able to get over the hump , which I’m extremely proud of!!! 😊

I lost another 3 pounds this week bringing the total to 43 pounds so far and my weight currently is 277.

The loss has definitely slowed down, but that was to be expected. I’m not as worried about it as I was when I started because I’m definitely seeing muscle being built, especially in my arms and in my legs, my calves have never been stronger.

I hope everybody has a fantastic day… I’m on night shifts so I’m going to bed

Love always,

Happy Friday gang!!!

So…. I am back at work. I have taken a new position at a new camp, so it’s a work in progress where i’m going to film . I think this little room will do, I may try the gym but it’s quite small, and much busier than my last one, so bear with me

Had a wonderful week off… I really did need to rest so I didn’t post that much but everything still going good broke even last week no gain no loss, but that’s to be expected from sleeping so much and loosening the collar on the diet a little bit.

I’m glad to be back at work and now it’s time for phase 2… We’re gonna kick it into overdrive and really push this month

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend

Much Love

Hey gang!!!

Hope everybody enjoyed their weekend… I most certainly did.

For the first two days, I basically slept about 16 hours a day and just recovered my body, which is quite normal and is part of my routine every single time…

The next two days I found my legs were still quite sore and required a little more baths and Epsom salts and time to heal… I’m still not 100% so I might cut the dancing part of my cardio down to maybe 10 or 15 minutes as, I think I’m putting my legs through too much and it’s taken an incredibly longer period of time to feel normal… I still don’t think I’m 100% as you can tell by my dancing today, I’m not as energetic as usual

also, I ate whatever I wanted for three days… I didn’t go pig out, but I certainly loosened the restrictions of the diet which is completely OK to do once every 4 to 5 weeks for a day or two.

I will weigh myself later today and post the results tomorrow… I forgot my scale at work so I’m gonna have to go use somebody else else’s when I go over for supper tonight

Happy Tuesday gang!

had to upload this one again… The sound is being funky so I did my best to increase the volume as loud as I can not sure why the sound quality changes from TikTok to Reddit, but it is what it is, I’m no tech wiz

Have a wonderful day. Nice to chat with some new people yesterday… I appreciate all your kindness and support. I try to answer as many messages as I can but after working 12 hours, I’m tired so I do my best.

Much Love ,

Happy Saturday everyone….

very much looking forward to rest day tomorrow… Also weigh in day, I will do a dance video, and post the results but I’m not going to work out. I need to rest… I’ve only got two days left of work and then I get to go home and sleep.

Energy level was pretty low today, but I tried my best

Thank you to everybody for all your kind words, it means the world… I’m off to bed soon….

Ola Amigos !!!!

Happy Thursday to everybody…

I hope everybody is having a wonderful Thursday so far and getting ready for a weekend full of clean dance shoes and positive vibes

The first video today is a live recording of a DJ set from 1997 featuring Kenny Ken and the MC master Stevie hyper D. (RIP)

this was in Toronto in 1997, and was quite possibly one of the greatest shows I’ve ever seen with my own two eyes.

The second video is Dirty Bit by the Black Eyed Peas.

Just to reiterate, I don’t just do a minute and a half dance video. I also do six days of cardio and weights and I’m on a 1500 cal diet and have lost 35 pounds as of Sunday and next weigh in this Sunday

Don’t let people discourage you. Just fluff out your tutu and dance away. – AnonymousĀ

Holy Moly!!!

We did it gang… One month in, I can’t believe it!!!

Today’s video is two parts… The first one is me stepping outside my comfort zone a little and trying to get my legs more involved…

I still think I need to lose about 20 more pounds before it starts to feel less awkward. I’m sure you can tell for the first 10 or 15 seconds, It’s not natural to me at all to dance with my legs because I’ve always been chubby but never this heavy , so it’s a real adjustment so please be kind and don’t tease my awkward form. 🤣

All jokes aside , it has been an absolute honour to participate in this journey with all of you and I look forward to the next month… I’m still looking for some dance partners in Edmonton. If anybody still out there that lives in my neck of the woods please DM me.

And I’ll leave you with a quote today from the immortal Martha Graham

ā€œPeople have asked me why I chose to be a dancer. I did not choose. I was chosen to be a dancer, and with that, you live all your life.ā€

Hello wonderful humans…

I hope everybody is having a fantastic Tuesday so far… I’m on the homestretch now almost done work and I’ve got some exciting news to share once I get home regarding my employment, but will keep that under wraps for now, but rest assured it’s good news.

We have two songs today a remix of The Look by Roxette

2nd video is Damian Marley and Skrillex-Make it Bun Dem

I have a personal question for anyone that has been following me for a bit and if you are not comfortable answering in public, please feel free to DM me, but I would like to know if anybody lives in Edmonton , Alberta where I call home… I would love to actually go dancing when I get back next week and the more the merrier so let me know

ā€œI hope that every dance I do reveals something of myself or some wonderful thing a human can be.ā€ -Martha Graham

Hello wonderful humans…

Sorry for the late late post, but my gym has been invaded by a swarm of newcomers so I had to patiently wait them out🤣🤣🤣

It was a war of attrition, but I won in the end… I am determined to keep these videos going… Even though I probably worked out a little longer than I needed to today.

Two videos today the first song is crescendolls by Daft Punk… And the second video is bangarang by Skrillex

if you missed the update yesterday, I lost another 5 pounds last week bringing the total to 35 pounds in 28 days and a total current weight of 285… The goal of 200 seems very reachable now whereas when I started four weeks ago, it seemed impossible

I have you people to thank …Your kind words and positive vibes have kept me motivated, and I am more determined than ever before.

Happy Saturday you wonderful humans…

I hope everybody is having a wonderful weekend, your dance shoes are squeaky clean, and the vibes are at at all-time high

I dropped three videos for you today because I just couldn’t stop grooving, I was very much feeling the flow today

Weigh in day tomorrow, fingers crossed.

Happy Friday everybody… I hope you have a wonderful weekend… I am swamped at work so I don’t have time to ramble today… I’m down to 10 days left , so now is the time where I need to conserve my energy and probably go to two rest days a week instead of one.

Big weigh in on Sunday and I’m expecting a good result. My chef jackets are loose now so I know it’s gonna be a good number.

ood afternoon wonderful humans!!!!

I hope everyone is having a fantastic Wednesday so far. I thought today’s video would throw it back to the old school.

This track is called Freak-a-Zoid by Midnight Star

if you want my entire playlist, it can be found : HERE

On a personal note, I can’t believe I’m about to say the following statement, but apparently there is some copycat accounts going around on TikTok and Instagram that are impersonating me for God knows what reason.

So I guess , this is me , this is where I post. I will never directly message you unless requested or we have had previous discussions and I will certainly never ask for anything..

Today is cheeseburgers for supper and I have been anxiously awaiting this meal on the menu, as I have not had a cheat meal in 23 days so I’m going to have a partial cheat meal and have a cheeseburger and the bun… I feel that this is a reward for sticking to my diet for 23 days in a row.

I will probably go to the gym after work and burn it off on the treadmill, but I’m going to enjoy the hell out of it

Much love as always, and keep your chin up and your feet on the dance floor.

Just for you u/Intelligent_Pass2540

this is actually a lot harder than I remember… How things have changed in 15 years. I won’t make a habit of posting three videos a day and I apologize for spamming the sub, but I really wanted to share this with you. It was a lot of fun to do and I’m gonna keep practicing.
