Yanz Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Hey,Brand new, just discovered NerdFitness not too long ago, been reading through the articles. I love the site.Where I am currently at is, well.. Bad.I constantly tell myself that I will 'start tomorrow'. So hopefully becoming an active member of the community will fix that, as I will have my 'support team' .I consider myself an amateur cyclist, my goal is to cycle/run/walk 2012km in 2012. ( I also want to be able to participate in the local 25km charity rides, and be able to keep up well!) So far I've managed to do a combined total of 611km so far.I'm a bit behind on my goal, and it's mainly due to unemployment and Minecraft.I'm skinny and tall, I'd like to bulk a little, mainly gain lean muscle.I've also had a few years of experience in Parkour, I want to get back in to that.I eat pretty badly, so I've started using MyFitnessPal. I'm a vegetarian, so I need to find out more and find something that suits me.I'm terrible for eating junk food, I used to have good self control, but after not being able to find a job (still looking!), I eat a lot.I've thrown out all the junk food so far, and I need to cut back on carbs. (Lots of pasta).I want to increase my fitness. For motivation I've set up with my partner an Achievement list. With different achievements worth different points, not all just around fitness. I gained the Rider! achievement for an hour straight of road cycling the other night, after being inactive for a while.tl;drSkinny tall, wants to get lean/ripped and fit, especially in terms of cardio.

Yanz Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Feel free I sorted them into sections, "Personal, Fitness, Travel"The more difficult they are the more points they're worth, with my partner we have a rewards system, every 100 or 250 points = a task for the other person, amongst other things.Some ideas are:Fitness:Runner! (Run 5k in less than 30 minutes) – 10 Points each timeTo the top! (Climb a mountain -scale it) – 50 pointsTeammate! (Join an organised fitness/sport group) - 10 PointsMental:Avid Reader (Read a book) – 10 points per bookTravel:OMG THE STARS! (Observe the Milky Way from a dark place outside the city) – 50 pointsExplorer (Find a Geo-cache) – 10 points eachStrange lands.. (Travel to a different country!) – 15 points per countryAnd so on If you think of any good ones, please let me know Thank you for the welcome!
