Phoib Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Greetings. I introduce myself to you as Phoib. I am a very shy and introverted. I'm not sure if this is the place for me. I am a weirdo and very nerdy, and I want to increase my fitness. I have my own ideas about what that means, however. I don't want to focus on how my body is shaped, but rather how I feel and what I can accomplish. I am currently a potato, or rather mostly potato-ish. I do run a household (somewhat inefficiently) that includes more than one child, and this involves a modicum of activity. I do not drive, so I find walks necessary on occasion. I intend to participate in the next challenge and see if this forum and system is a good fit for me. 4 Quote Link to comment

SkyGirl Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Welcome @Phoib! RedStone is absolutely right - there are lots and lots of shy, introverted nerds here. You are definitely in the right place!! On 8/28/2017 at 3:45 PM, Phoib said: I don't want to focus on how my body is shaped, but rather how I feel and what I can accomplish. Again, this is a really big thing for many of us in NerdFitness, so you are in good company here! Do you have an idea of what kinds of changes you'd like to make for your first challenge? For example, are you looking to make diet changes, like drinking less soda or eating more vegetables? Or are you mainly after a fitness goal, like trying the Beginner Bodyweight Workout or another activity?

I do, in fact. Regular walking, stretching and sleeping. I intend to start small to increase the chances I can maintain the changes. I am not sure what my "life" goal will be but I think it might have something to do with "cleaning". Quote Link to comment

Those are excellent goals! Sleep is an ongoing goal for me as well - as a grad student with an erratic schedule, I tend to let sleep fall by the wayside. Do you like walking indoors or outdoors?
