Awesomeness!

Wow! It's been 9 years! Thanks for that blast of reality! You are right about NF, this site covers fitness, and other areas of healthy lifestyle in a fun and creative way. I'm glad to be here!

So inyourjeans what are you up to? I remember Bikram yoga did my brain some good. It's an awesome workout. I think Bikram once a week will be on my Challenge. Being a runner, becoming a strength trainer, such a different animal! Best to you!

Thanks for the welcomes!

Morning all Rebels, I'm coming out! I've been lurking around the NF site for a couple of weeks. Registered about 4 days ago. Today I make my presence known. I was in stall this am on my way to my garage gym for my 3rd NF rookie wkout, reading the latest recruit messages. Shout out to Krystie, shutupndance, and Brit3r. I realized maybe any post I offered would help some NF rookie, ( or long-standing rebel ) get off the computer and ACT! My story. I am a runner, former triathlete. I still do tri, just not on the level of my past. I was on my way to my first Ironman after 2 years of focused training when I injured my sweet self doing some track work...I was six weeks from my race.. My 27 hours a week of training turned into ZERO! I could not run, bike or push off the wall to swim...of course now I realize there were other ways to keep strong, but I didn't and ended up falling into a deep depression. That was 2003. LIFE took over and I have never reached for that level of fitness again. Plenty of good excuses for that. Fast forward. I go through periods of increasing my running or speed, but my old fitness level and motivation is elusive. I will register for a tri with some friends, thinking it will get my juices going, but I don't follow through with training, AND still go out and race. I am able to finish, even beat my younger friends because of muscle memory I'm sure. This pattern keeps me form really committing to my fitness, and improving my strength. I stumbled upon this site while reading about Paelo. I am not a Social Network person. I have never participated in a websites forum nor am I a blog reader. So, this is all new. My goals. To change the shape of my body through strength training. Strong Body, Strong Mind. To the Rebellion, Lisa B. today Lisa B strong
