Returning for another go!

Hey everyone!

 

About four years ago I joined nerd fitness as a way to help me lose weight. It was a smashing success and between that and joining the National Guard I lost 100 pds. 

 

Then I came home however. I found a great job that I loved (I am a cook) but was forty five minutes away. Stopped working out beyond sporadic stuff, eating fast terrible food, and not sleeping well. 

 

Gained back 70 of those pounds. As a note still look much healthier, a full eight inches is still off my waist line. And my eating habits are still much better.

 

I am back though. Found a new job ten minutes from my house walking that I start next month. So I am getting back into working out and eating well. 

 

I like roleplaying games, pirates, and all sorts of history and reenactment. So here I am joining the monks for my martial prowess. My current long term goal is get to the point where I can run a 5k without stopping, do forty push ups without stopping, and hold a plank for two minutes with no sagging.

 

After that, joining the SCA to learn how to use a sword!

 

So hello and I hope to see a lot of you!

I like these goals and ditto what @Wobbegong said!

Thanks folks. I was at that point before, so I am hoping that it is a nice achievable goal before I focus on getting better.
