DrFeelgood Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Greetings, Rebels. I'm DrFeelgood. I'm not a doctor, and I'm certainly not a drug provider. The name arose during a Halo LAN party back in the day after hearing the Motley Crue song on the car radio. For consistency's sake I've stuck with it. What I am is a husband and dad who works as an architect for the DoD. I play a little guitar and a handful of team sports, but I spend most of my free time remodeling this old house and playing board games with my kids. I keep an N64 and a modded Xbox (classic) with legacy emulators hooked up at all times so I can fire up some old favorites whenever the mood strikes--I'm currently wrapping up another playthrough of Ocarina of Time. Once upon a time I served as a fighter-jet mechanic in the USAF. Afterward I went to college and stayed in pretty good physical condition until graduation. Then I went to grad school. And I got married. I worked an office job all through grad school. Meanwhile my wife and I were blessed with three awesome babies. After finishing the program I transitioned to an even more desk-intensive position, and a fourth (and final) awesome baby joined our household. It's been twelve years now since I started putting on weight, but even then I was able to stay fairly active and convince myself that my health was okay--I even piddled around with counting calories on occasion (with moderate success, until I got bored). Then I turned 37 and took a moment to objectively assess my condition. I've been forced to slow way down due to my body, but the kids are only getting faster. It's (past) time for a change. I found NF through a web-search looking for a beginner's workout routine that I could do at home to get started. The success stories of Staci and Saint inspired me. I spent the last week of December reading everything I could find on fitness, nutrition, and strength. I made a goal, created a plan, and got started with it on January 1st. Now I'm here to be part of the community while I keep working on my transformation. 1 Quote He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

DrFeelgood Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 You're too old to adopt and my daughters are too young to marry. I'd play rugby with you, though. I played inside and outside center in college.
