Hey, I'm Peggy, or NerdyPudding, or GeekyPudding or NerdyNurse... whatever you want to call me! I've been (happily) overweight all my life, but something happened in my recent past to remind me that what with my family's history of health and the fact that I am about to embark in one of the most unhealthy professions ever (nursing, ironically) I am at a pretty high risk of getting very ill, and I decided to (happily) lose weight. I've lost weight before but major life changes often derail me, and what this year's advent of plantar fasciitis adding to the burden, I've reaaaally become puddinglike: soft, jiggly and not able to move anywhere in a hurry. So. What are my goals to combat this puddingness? Long-term: lose 30kg (about 65lb) by next Easter My 6 week challenge goals are: -Lose 4kg (9lb) -Switch to at least 50% paleo (what can I say, I like oatmeal, lentils and peanut butter!) -Exercise 3 times a week for 30mins All of these goals come with an "at least" tag, I'm hoping from prior experience that I'll do even better! My Side Quests are: -Get a driver's licence -Get into this whole blogging/vlogging thing I have a whole lot more goals (I'm really goal-oriented), but lately I've been getting really overwhelmed with stuff and it has become super easy to just lie in bed and not do anything. I'm hoping that with a shorter list I can achieve more! So yay, go me!! As in, actually go. Like... for a walk or something.
