Greetings from the Skys

[Emerald Eagle]

Hi! *waves*

 

My name is Gemma, alter ego "The Emerald Eagle", and I live in Melbourne Australia. I am a country girl at heart, taking every opportunity to get out of the city and head into the bush - camping, hiking, 4WDing, or any other adventures we can find. In my 9-5 life I am a Product Owner for an IT company which works with the education industry. 

 

I have followed NF for about 2 years, and been a member of the Academy for about 18 months. In that time I have yoyo-ed up and down, and some huge successes and some definite road bumps. In 2017 I have not made new years resolutions, but I have re-prioritised my life to make the important things a priority; myself, my family, and my health. 

 

As part of that I wanted to grow and so, despite never really using a public forum like this before, I wanted to jump feet first and start documenting my journey here.

Welcome, I look forward to seeing how you intend to grow and focus on the most important things. Do you have any set goals? Plans on how you are going to work towards you goals for the rest of January?

Goals for 2017 include:

- Complete a 5K in April

- Make gym workouts a regular habit (consistently get 3 sessions a week in)

- Focus on lifting at the gym (no more cardio circuits, barbell lifting working on form and adding weight)

- Complete a Whole 30 (probably March or May)

- Climb the 1000 Steps near home without stopping

- Get 1 set of 10 proper push ups

- Learn to love myself and not be so negative

Awesome goals!

Now that you have the list, what is going to be your first step?
