So, it's week 3 and I'm not doing so hot. overall for the past two weeks I would give myself a D+. Week 1: Did pretty much nothing. Sure, there was water drinking, some stretching but that was about it. Week 2: Been slowly upping my water intake and am now at my goal of 48oz a day. Stretching has now become something I do more than once a day. Beauty routine is still a little off. Been brushing my teeth and washing my face but cant for the life of me put on lotion. It's just such a daunting task. And that brings us to the main goal; Working out 4 times a week. Nope. Not going to give any excuses, I just didn't want to and didn't feel it was necessary. Results: I am down to 126.0 lbs so that's great. With all the water I've been drinking I've also been noticing when I'm dehydrated more which makes me want to drink more water. I've also been eating less junk food and more veggies. Oh, and another thing I've noticed is my arms are more flexible. I've also been trying to improve my posture, especially at the computer. It seems to be going well. I guess what I am trying to say is; Even if you don't accomplish the goals you set out to do, even if you make just tiny changes they will be for the better. also, I have yet to find a work out i enjoy

Worked out for the second time this week. Monday I over did it on BW squats and my legs have been killing me. Today I just pushed through the pain. What I did 10 squats 10 wall push up 10 lunges each leg 10 assisted half pull ups Plank for 20 sec 20 mountain climbers 2xs I was focusing on my posture and making sure I was doing it them right. After the first set I was sweating and nearly gasping for air. So, I took a 10 minute break to drink some water and do some stretching before doing the set again. This time when I finished it was like my muscles turned to jelly. This is the first time I've ever had this happen when working out and it feels amazing! I finished with some long deep stretches and drinking more water and feel pretty damn good. Also, only had 4 cigarettes today. Technically it was 5 but 2 of them I only smoked half and put it out. Wont be having my usual before-bed-smoke tonight.

Like obsessedfan I too saw the title and couldn't help myself. It's like the fates are telling me it's time to do this! No lie, I am watching Buffy right now. S5E1. And! And I'm interested in the assassin guild. But seriously, the fates must be watching over me at this moment what with this group and I just flipped a coin 5 times to determine if I should work out tonight (yes I am that lazy) and every time it said yes. I even switched the outcome for the sides a few times! Anywho! Hello there!

Hello there and thanks! I get what you are saying about the force. It's like I want to do and say stuff but something is just holding me down or making me bite my tongue. Good new is that I've started taking anti-depressants and I've already noticed a big change. It's never too late to start your journey across the world! Even if it's just short little vacations. It's still getting out there. I have a friend who spends a weekend walking 50+ miles with just a backpack. He never tells anyone though and we end up freaking out, worried something happened. I do want to achieve my goals, it's just a matter of my brain telling that to my body. I've been reading good things about paleo on here and may make some changes. I don't think I could ever make the full commitment though. I'll do my best!

My Motivation I am vain, lazy, depressed and terrified of stepping out of my comfort zone. A zone the size of my house. I am 20 years old, have had only one job which I quit after 4 months, still live with my parents, have stopped seeing my friends and only say around 100 words a day. That has to change. I plan to one day hit the road and see the world. Just me, a few bags, and a car. I'll meet people and do things that most people only dream of doing. First I need to get prepared. Main Quest Prepare for the life I want There is a long list of physical activities I plan to do over the years and I can't do them in the shape I'm in. By Feb 19 2014* I want to be slimmer, stronger, smarter, and more flexible. *My 21st birthday Trials Work Out 4x a Week This will include the BBWW, a step routine for some cardio, and the occasional yoga video Stretch Every Day I have created a stretching routine for myself that I will do every night before bed Drink 48+ oz of Water Every Day As the weeks go on I plan to slowly increase the amount to help cut out soda from my diet Beauty Routine Every Night* Brush, floss, and use mouthwash; wash my face or shower; brush my hair and put on lotion.

Hello there, I'm Cera. Just recently found NF and have been spending the past few days reading and lurking around here on the forums and blog. I guess I am here to hopefully get some motivation (and maybe have someone yell at me when I slack off.) In terms of being a "nerd" I am very much a t.v and movie nerd. Supernatural, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Psych, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Eureka, Firefly, ect, ect. The list goes on and on. That's pretty much how I spend my life; watching movies and entire series one right after another. I get up, grab a soda, turn on a movie/show, have a smoke and repeat for anywhere between 12 to 32 hours then sleep and do it all again the next day. This is how I've spent the last 5 years. My highest weight in that time was 175 but I have slowly made my way down to 128 as of this morning. Most of that is due to my not eating. I now get sick almost every time I eat and usually end up drinking my calories. I do eat, just not as often as I should. Like right now, I can feel that I am hungry but I just don't want to eat. My not eating combined with my severe depression has been worrying both me and my family. This past month I've decided it's time to make a change. I've started taking antidepressants and have been trying to eat more often and healthier. I still end up drinking most of my calories though and usually have to force myself to eat. God, I've never really admitted those things to myself. I've always know it but I always just pushed my problems with food to the back of my mind. Telling myself that it was just because of my gallbladder (had it removed 5 years ago.) Anyway, I am here to become healthy! My Goals -Eat more than 900 calories a day -Drink less than 600 calories a day (damn dr. pepper) -Workout at least 3 times a week -Go for a walk every day I have more goals but these are the ones I need to focus on first.
