Chris2Brooks - Hello, Master Procrastinator, here...

[Chris2Brooks]

Good people of the Rebellion,

 

I humbly introduce myself, request your wisdom and give you all access permission to kick my ass if I do not follow along.

 

Because I truly think I need a good ass kicking into gear.

 

My name is Chris Brooks and I am all the way from sunny and beautiful South Africa.

 

 

Why do I need an ass kicking?

I've been following along with Nerd Fitness for such a long time and haven't even posted one post. I KNOW and WANT to change into this amazing testimony of health and wellness turnaround, but I struggle.... I procrastinate like nobody's business. (I actually think I could've been to Mars by now if I didn't screw around so much)

 

I'm 1,92m tall and weight 85kg. Tall and skinny - for some part - smallish beer belly and signs of man boobs.

I play Action Netball every week and amazed at my fitness and endurance. 

 

Spend most part of my day sitting in front of a PC.

 

I recently decided to make a list of things in various aspects of my life that I want to change. Not because I have to, but because I want to. But my knowledge hungry mind had me collecting tonnes of information and absolutely no action.

 

Therefore, I turn to you, Rebels... Show me the way... Please...

 

What I figured out so far:

• I'm most definitely Assasin (with a hint of Monk) - I hate dumbbells, barbels and weight machines like the plague. I prefer Bodyweight, Pilates, Yoga, Kettlebells (oddly I like kettlebells)
  
• I do not want to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger - I prefer the defined athlete look.
  
• I need to stop smoking
  
• I should eat more - I only eat dinner.
  
• I should drink more water
  
• I need to get an exercise plan and stick to it.
  
• I like the 4HB Slow Carb Diet idea. (Someone on the forum mentioned that Slow Carb = Paleo + Beans)
  

 

Rebels, over to you, where to next?

 

(PS: I keep seeing that I should create a thread listing my personal challenge, where do I create this thread?)

Hey there again Chris. Thank you for the suggestion about Yoga. Here is the link for starting a topic:

http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/48899-l1-guidebook/

It will also have a must read article I suggest. It will help you start. If you are still worried look at other people as an example. The 6 week challenge is almost over. but better late than never.

A lot of what Nerd Fitness stresses is slow progress so choose three of your huge goals and slowly start working towards them. The article mentioned above will explain further.

Best of luck!

Goed om jou hier te sien.

 

Vra as jy enige hulp nodig het, ek is al heeltemal te lank hier..

 

I lurk around the forums a lot, so consider yourself stalked.

 

And the best advice I've had: "Take it slow."

Thanks Erika. I most definitely need an accountability partner and one of the reasons I joined Nerd Fitness. Would appreciate any help you can get, will give a shout whenever I need some guidance or ass kicking

Dankie Jakkals. Ek sal beslis vra, dankie vir die offer. 

 

DIs baie goeie advies daai, ek's geneig om in 'n ding in te storm en dan nie kaar te maak nie. Besig om my challenges op te stel, sal die advies in gedagte hou
