Nerd Girl Running's Progress...

[NerdGirlRunning]

Goals:

 

Loose weight/get fit.

Late last year (December) I hit the heaviest I've ever been. I was not at all happy with my body and I finally just decided that something needed to change. Starting weight was 181lbs, I'm currently at 171lbs. Woot! I want to continue working on that and getting in better shape (i.e. gaining muscle, speed and stamina).

 

Quests:

Complete a 5k in 36 minutes or less

Do 10 pushups

Practice beginning parkour moves twice a week for a month

Reach 10lbs of weight loss

 

Become a better homemaker

I live alone and let my house be too messy, and also I don't cook enough. 

 

Quests:

Cook dinner at least twice a week for the next four weeks

Three times a week, spend the duration of one episode of whatever I'm currently watching cleaning

Today was a great day! After work I hit the gym and got 6 miles in towards my walk to Mordor, then I came home, cleaned for 1.5 episodes of Criminal Minds, and then then I cooked myself an egg skillet for dinner! 

 

Tomorrow is my strength day at the gym (so stuff that will help me towards my pushups, and parkour goals), and I have a great dinner planned. I can't wait to get to it.

Great goals! What are your deadlines for you "Quests"? I started out at about 160 lbs when I first started running. Running was a great way for me to condition my heart and stamina to move into other forms of exercise. Stay positive and disciplined, you are on your way. I am currently working to get stronger and faster also so I will follow your journey and see what types of activities you're working on.

 

Peace.

Those are just what I'm working on for the next month. I have larger quests listed on my character page. I've been running off and on for two years, but not consistently for 2015. I started again with the new year, and can currently run a 5k in 38 minutes without it being too hard.

 

Thanks for the motivation! I'm so excited to see my body get stronger and leaner!

What type of parkour moves are you practicing? I have been doing a push up challenge. I am at 12 push ups. You can print a push up challenge thing off pinterest and do that goal pretty easily.  I am like a week in and can do 10 already which I started at like 5 good ones.

 

Peace.
