Greetings and salutations everyone,
I am Xeven, I am a medically retiring member of the Armed forces(Army actually). Due to my medical conditions I have gained a substantial bit of weight and lost the majority of my physical fitness. So I figured why not join a community of fellow nerds to inpire me to regain it.
I am a huge anime fan (Berserk for the win and Griffith did EVERYTHING wrong!!), as well as comics(No I cannot choose between my two great loves of Marvel and DC) and a bit of a gamer geek to boot.
As to how I found this forum, why the all powerful spell of Google of course.
Main quest----to lose the 40 pounds of weight I have aquired due to various medications and injuries in the last 2 years, and regain my adventurer level of physical fitness that I once had.
Sub quests
1. Lose on average 4 to 8 pounds per month until goal is achieved, current weight is 161, goal weight is 130. (I have already cut 9 pounds). Also cut my body fat % down 2% each month till I am back down to my 24%.(currently at 31%).
2. Increase core and upper body strength by 50% ( I don't have actual strength indexes yet, will post later)
3. Start running again, (I have a lower back spinal fusion, so I have not been running in a long time.)
4. Love my meat mech again, the injuries/illnesses caused me to really start to hate my physical appearance. So learning to embrace what I can do and become on this journey will greatly help me emotionally.
