Han shot first, preemptive strike approved.

[Sythez]

Greetings, fellow nerds. Happy to join, don't much approve of death stars and the like. Too high taxation.

 

I'm Sythez, and I'll be joining things around here starting today. Moved into a new place, starting a new year of University in the great city of Edmonton, and decided that, despite not being overly unhappy with the way I look, I am not happy with living a life that I grew up with, on processed crap and poor exercise habits. 

 

A bit about myself;

 

• 210 pounds, 5'8", turning 20 and 2nd year university
• Avid fan of Starwars, LotR, and Jim Butcher's series The Dresden Files (think bad ass modern wisardry in downtown chicago)
• Practice a chinese martial art I guarantee you've never heard of (Ba Ying Quan, northern family style)
• LoL silver 5 (currently)
• Massive sucker for any girl with a great laugh, awesome smile, and/or great gaming skills 

What I'm hoping to achieve with NerdFitness and the challenges:

 

• Target weight between 170-185 of muscled healthy weight, ideally within 6months - 1 year
• A committed routine of activity, balancing flexibility, endurance, and strength over at least 4 days a week.
• Ditching soda, eating amazing tasting food that is not processed to plastic and gives me the nutrients my body needs
• Spartan like physique and attitude, although I'll settle for just plain damn sexy  ​

 

I know that its pretty much impossible to get that on my own, and am really happy to have found a group of people who are like minded! Thanks in advance for the help I know you'll be, and as for the message in the intro;

 

Han Solo is a bit of a hero for me, in the sense that he honestly is a bad guy who has a heart of gold. He had no qualms about shooting a gangster straight up, yet despite being a jerk, still risks his life to save a princess. In my case, my fat is the bad guy, im shooting it before it shoots me, and the princess... is in the works, I hope... (just need to ask her out for that dinner...)

Hoping to join the rangers! Peace out all, thanks for reading, and I look forward to supporting you guys with your goals and being supported by you as well!

I learned last challenge it doesn't take a spartan like physique to be sexy!!

 

welcome to the rebellion

 

I have loved LOTR and wanted to be a ranger since I was a small child

Hey Sythez - welcome!  

 

Haha Spartan attitude...Gerard Butler in 300...

 

THIS IS SPARTA!

BOOM! *Kicks man into pit*

 

Not a bad goal, I guess. Unless there's a man and a pit nearby when you reach it, of course...wouldn't wanna be that guy.  Sounds like you have several different starts all on the go at the moment - good luck with all of them. Hope you find success and let us know how you get on.

 

Very best.

(Eeeeeeeh, the Dresden Files! )

Seems like you have everything planned out, that's awesome (and a damn sight less rambly than my post ). The hard part is sticking to everything you've planned, but hey, that's what you have us for, right?

[Sythez]

300 may have had something to do with that goal... 

 

and ya, probably be hard. i'm hoping that on the flip side, it'll be easier this way though. I have nothing to fall back on, everything is new, so hopefully I start right and keep it going! 

 

Thanks for the greetings and encouragements!
