Hi everyone! I am new to Nerd Fitness, but I just LOVE the website - great info presented with a great sense of humor. I do well with eating and some other lifestyle habits, but fitness has always been a struggle for me. It has been even worse since I had surgery on a torn meniscus a year ago. Main Quest: Improve Endurance and Fitness Specifically, I would like to be able to go for a hike, paddle, or whatever moderate activity I am doing for an hour or two without getting exhausted. Specific and Measurable Goals: -Exercise at least 5-6 days per week, alternating cardio (interval training) and strength -Eat at least 2 meals a day containing 50% vegetables or fruit -Go out for 1 or more extended activity sessions each week Side Life Quest: Finish creating my online healthy pregnancy classes and get them live Before: Not doing pics, sorry. I am 5ft 6 and currently 133 lbs. I spent a decade hovering around 118, so it would be nice to get that back, but it is not my primary goal. My fitness level is currently so bad that I get winded walking up our driveway (rather steep, about 150 ft long). I did the Beginner's Body Weight workout yesterday. I only got through 2 circuits, but am still sore today. *sigh* Motivation: I want to be able to do the activities my husband and I enjoy comfortably, and in a way and at a pace that is fun for him as well. It is more fun when it does not feel so much like work! Let's do this! (Our challenges) -Elsfaire
