I haven't done a Nerd Fitness 6-Week Challenge in a long time (Since November??) and I am returning! Here's a little background: I Lost 32 pounds last Spring/Summer/Early Fall and then proceeded to get back into old habits and make excuses ALL winter! I told myself I wasn't going to do it, but sh!t happens, eh? So I gained about 10 pounds back, which sucks but I can deal with it. I know I can do this, and I just need to build awesome new habits and stop making excuses (I don't even believe them!). One of my Challenge goals will be to do a Pull-Up or Chin-Up. This has been a goal of mine on a previous challenge and even though I didn't succeed 100%, I still saw HUGE improvement! And that's what it's all about! So. 1. Do a Chin-Up/Pull-Up http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/04/25/do-a-pull-up/ 2. Get back to doing one hike per week 3. Walk (5km) or do a work-out EVERY day For my chin-up/pull-up training, I will be following Steve's guide mentioned above. Right now I only have 10 pound weights and an awkwardly large 30 pound sandbag that I can't do Bent Over Dumbell Rows with... So my first goal is to obtain some more equipment! I've been searching Craigslist since I can't afford brand new stuff. Hiking is always an easy one around Vancouver. We have a wonderfully varied and beautiful landscape and we're surrounded by mountains. I have lots of exciting places to go I have a couple 5km walks in my neighbourhood that I like. Down to the river or along the beach. Looking forward to getting back on track! Woot!
