Mother of Rats Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 I go through phases of fitness, where I am focused and make progress, and then I lose it as I get distracted and life gets in the way. But now I have no more excuses. I am a chemical engineer and this upcoming fall I will begin my PhD. Before I get there, I want to lose the extra pounds I have gained, and build muscle and get a whole lot stronger. My noodly upper body is an embarrassment - I want to be able to lift heavy things on my own without help, and look good doing it! I also have some personal intellectual and academic goals - procrastination is a factor in both my fitness and my research. I am tired of looking in the mirror and seeing someone I am disappointed in, both physically and personally. It is exhausting to feel poorly about yourself, and I want to work toward becoming a person I am proud to see in the mirror each day. I joined the fitness academy to help hold me accountable so that I can begin working toward these goals. 1 Quote Link to comment
Enforcer25 Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Welcome to Nerd Fitness, I am in the same boat, I do well and then I stop and have to start again, I'm hoping to keep up the fitness and look good by the summer. I have to dial in the diet and I should be good. Congrats on starting the Ph.D. I recently received my Master's degree. There is a ton of information on here, good luck with the journey.

Mother of Rats Posted January 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 What is your Master's in? And hopefully we can both get it together and look great by summer! Good luck to you too! 1 Quote Link to comment
Enforcer25 Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Criminal justice with a concentration on counter-terrorism, I took all the courses online, tough but it was fun, takes discipline for sure. I thought about a Ph.D. too, but a little late in life right now, we will see. So what is your degree going to be in? I think we can both get it together for summer.

Mother of Rats Posted January 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 I'm doing a PhD in chemical engineering. And wow, I can only imagine doing a Master's degree online - I like having some in-person accountability! I think we can too! 1 Quote Link to comment
