NomadicStardust Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Hey Everyone! Thought I would try to introduce myself today since there is no time like the present. I have been pretty dedicated to the whole "healthy living" goal for the past couple of years (though results have only really started recently). I am 25 years old and 210 pounds, having already lost over 60. Currently I attend college, working towards an art degree, so I am using my time here as an excuse to sign up for athletic classes as often as possible. Before this semester I only worked out twice, maybe three times a week using things like tennis, aerobics, archery, and videos I found on YouTube. This semester (which has only just begun) I have upped my workload, attending Zumba AND Weightlifting class, totaling 4-5 days a week (and I am hella sore). Over the past 6 months, I have also slowly begun to adjust my diet (probably why I am only now seeing real results), but I still have weaknesses as my job gives out free candy and I get munchy while working on art. Still tho, I have cut out all liquids aside from milk and water, and chips... so we're getting there. My favorite physical activities are Cycling, SCA Sword Fighting, and LARPing, and I really want to learn Mui Thai and Parkour. I want to become healthy and athletic enough to compete in long cycling races and overall kick butt (I am aiming for a fitness level that could pass the army PFT). I think what is bugging me most is that, while I have come a long way, I am still leagues behind others. Outside of fitness - I am a huge fan of Animation and Comic Books from around the world, Fantasy Novels, Mythology and Heraldry. I am a Ravenclaw, the 4th and 10th Doctors are my favorites, I play the Upright Bass, American Mcgee's Alice is my favorite game (but I also have a soft-spot for MMO's), and I listen to both Soundtrack Music and Punk Rock on a regular basis. I DM 5e D&D Games on Saturdays with some of the other college students.... it's fun. Finally, I am currently drawing a webcomic about all the funny/frustrating/difficult things that I have experience thus far in my fitness journey, so please feel free to check it out, It's called The Trouble With Losing Weight. Thanks! i hope we all get along!! You're Awesome!! Quote Link to comment
Enforcer25 Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Welcome to Nerd Fitness, sounds like you are off to a great start. Diet is a huge part and is something I need to work on. Looks like you have a busy schedule, but sounds like you are managing it well. Good luck on your journey. Quote Battle log My Character Link to comment
