TheChris

My favorite is not really a quote. Well the other night I was in my apartment complex's gym doing intervals and watching Downton Abby (WHAT?!) and a guy comes in to run on the treadmill. Not long after he begins to....grunt.... sensually... really getting into it. I mean, I've really begun to enjoy working out, but not like that.

Welcome, Mike. I think a lot of us got involved with the body weight workout. You hoping to lose weight? Build muscle? General fitness?

Welcome! I too know the sultry call that is Chick-Fil-A and the battle that can be! We're glad to have ya!

Oh god how did this get here....er I mean....YES! THIS! http://nerdfitness.com/community/entry.php?4212-Cause-a-challenge-party-don-t-stop

Welcome Ryan! I just started the rebel fitness guide myself and that combined with tracking my food has already made a world of difference. If you don't have control of your food I definitely recommend something like sparkpeople. I don't use it for much more than food tracking but so far it's been a decent way to figure out how you're doing nutrition wise

Oh I think you mean Pie in the Sky's Carnivore Challenge. My coworker and his brother did that and he still talks about how terrible it was. Now I've eaten a lot of things in my day that were....questionable, but I want absolutely NONE of that.

Thanks for the welcome! I find your state confusing and intriguing at the same time. And yes! I'm trying to keep my goals simple and to the point. Hopefully, I can form some decent habits and then move on to more crazy goals.

I’m TheChris, but you can call me Chris if you want. It’s okay, I like you. At any rate, I’m a 28 year old IT guy who does information security for a living. Most of my life has been spent in front of a computer doing things that I felt were fun and interesting, but turned out to be not so healthy. I recently moved from the Midwest, to the South and have decided to reinvent myself. I want to be healthy, I want to be strong, I want to be the kind of nerd that people look at and say, “Seriously? You play D&D?!†not “Seriously….you play D&D?†There was a tone change there….don’t worry about it. Anyway! So I decided to get my misshapen body back into a shape of some kind. The problem was I didn’t know where to start. Since gyms intimidate me and the internet doesn’t, that’s where I started. After reading some of my usual blogs I came across NF, and knew I was home. I did the Beginner body weight workout a few times and decided to sign on! I suppose I should have some goals, eh? Well For the next six months my goals are pretty basic but feel very important to me. Continue to track all my eating/drinking habits and to stick to the workouts.
