Woah, dude. Is your name l337 for "BOHICA" as in "Bend over here it comes again?" My younger brother used to scrawl that across his back when he swam breast stroke because it looked awesome as he beat everyone.

And I see that you're doing Run 4 Your Lives! Which is hella BA since I'm not able to do it again this year! Live it up, haus!

[B0H1C4]

It is! I used to use bohica. It's originally a military phrase (along with SNAFU and FUBAR) kind of goes along with my background. I'm also kind of a geek/nerd (obviously or I wouldn't be here so it fits together. Also, more and more people started taking that name so I had to come up with something a little more original. That's a pretty cool idea about him putting it on his back as he swam.

I'm honestly a little apprehensive about the R4YL5k. I'm pretty new getting back into fitness and not solidly back into running again so we'll see. Back in '08 it would have been nothing. Or back in my soccer days, no sweat. Today? Not so much.

Welcome! Don't get the BOHICA thang but good luck with all of your goals!

Welcome to the Rangers. My age keeps me from having a clue what "l337" is, but oh well.

Good luck with your goals.

[B0H1C4]

Thanks, EmCee and jimmie! BOHICA is a military originated acronym for "Bend Over, Here It Comes Again".

jimmie, l337, or 1337, or leet (meaning Elite), is kinda nerdtype where numbers are sometimes used to replace letters. A 3 for an E or a 7 for a T. It's kinda dumb, but oh well.

[jimmie65]

Sorry, that was meant to be tongue in cheek.

[Jaksavage]

Lol Newb dont know 1337 spk! J/k

Great goals BOHICA! Good luck and keep at it!

PS...love military acronyms! Uber-leet Marine vet.

[B0H1C4]

Sorry Jimmie, not used to a fitness forum full of nerds/geeks. I did some of the humors though, just not all.

Jak, Thanks!

This is old, but I just came back and wanted to close it out. I will be starting a new challenge when the next one rolls around after Christmas. I obviously won't be awarding myself any points, regardless of results. Here are the goals I set for myself...

GOAL #1

Run 5k Nonstop [sTA +3, STR +1]

RESULTS: Was not able to test myself, however I'm fairly certain I made it.

GOAL #2

Get below 18% BF [CHR +4]

RESULTS: I did Insanity throughout September and October. I went from 197 to 180 and from 23% BF to 18% BF. Great results, but not under 18%.

GOAL #3

Eat zero fast food while at work. 31 Days total. [CON +2, WIS +2]

RESULTS: I managed to cut fast food completely at work and 99% of the time outside of work. I also cut MOST dairy and grains, and ALL soda, coffee and alcohol.

GOAL #4

Run and survive the B-More Zombie Run 5k (28 Oct) [DEX +3]

RESULTS: I was not able to do the Zombie run due to the hurricane. I will definitely be doing one next year and possibly a Spartan Race as well.

Overall, I'm really happy with myself and am just starting round 2 of Insanity. working on getting down to 15% BF and eating even cleaner than before. Can't wait to jump into the next challenge. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to seeing everyone else's results and helping and motivating where I can.

As long as I don't forget about this site like last time :\
