So, um, hi there! //waves// I’m KayLou. I joined the Nerd Fitness Academy a few weeks ago, and have been pottering about since then - getting my character set up, starting a few (very small!) epic quests, and doing a lot of reading. I’m a middle-aged nerd of the bookish and artsy type, with a strong suspicion of the outdoors (which I hope to change!) and an abiding love of knitting, cats and tea (not always in the same order). I am a fan of books and film -- all kinds, but particularly classic and speculative fiction and cosy mysteries -- as well as pretty much everything space opera. I’m also into board games, stationary and old stuff in general. One of the things that appeals to me most about Nerd Fitness is the four-week challenges, so I'm really looking forward to starting my first one! My Main Quest for this challenge is simply to get moving again. I'm calling it The Finnegan-Begin-Again Quest - first, because this is a kind of reboot/refresh of some things I was doing (not very well) last year; and, second, because rhymes make me smile. These are the fitness challenges I've set myself for the next five weeks: (1) Walk every day for at least 15 min. (2) Complete a bodyweight workout (starting with NF bodyweight workout #1) 2 times per week (3) Track my daily progress in my fitness planner In addition, my Level Up My Life challenge for this session is: (4) Find a housework app or system that helps me integrate chores into my daily routine (vs. the "big clean") Thanks for reading - and lots of positive mojo to my fellow rebels!
