Gamera

Hello and thanks! Noting new on the 10 minutes walk, no - although I did bring Son and Dog with me, so we got some nice alone guy time. Win-win! Funny you mention that though - the last time I tried getting active and walking a lot, I was playing Vanguard every night. While walking, I'd keep seeing plants and bushes I wanted to harvest..."oooh, jute, I need more bags!".

Thanks! We play WOW as well, and the newblets are bonkers for Minecraft!

PC is the master race. MMOs and Strategy for the most part...my twitch days are way behind me. Kiddos are console all the way, although I have gotten them into SW:TOR and WOW with me. I've also gotten them interested in D&D, that should be fun over the summer!

Thanks, Six - was curious about the challenges; I'm going to poke around those next. Appreciate the tips!

Hi everyone. I just joined today. This isn't a "new year new me" thing; I'm 46, married with two kids, and VERY unhappy with myself. I'm out of shape and lazy. The reason I'm here is my kids. They're 11 (almost 12) and 10 right now; we are all gamers, however they've adopted my sedentary lifestyle and they're out of shape as well. I need to become a fitness hero to them - I need to figure out a way to ease both them and myself into a fitness regimen. I will start with my assigned 10 minute walk after work tonight. I plan on taking things slowly - I will NOT fail. I can do this. But... ...I'll need your help. Again...I'm lazy. I like the easy way out. I need a push. A nudge. A mentor, even. Some sort of positive reinforcement to keep me going. I'm fairly shy and timid by nature, so I can't see myself posting pictures of myself for strangers to judge, if that makes sense. I discourage easily. It was a big step for me to throw this up here, even. So...wish me luck! If anyone wants to invest a little time in pushing a newb into getting his a$$ in gear, I'd welcome it. Thanks, and its nice to be here.
