CodePrincess Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Hi all! I'm a nerd. I love fitness. I'm a software developer and gamer from South FL. I used to lead a fairly lazy, gaming, TV watching, hot pocket hoarking lifestyle until I went on vacation to the Bahamas in late 2010 and came back with a picture of a greased pig laying on the rocks at the beach. Wait...that wasn't a greased pig....that was ME! :: GASP ::It was time to make a change for me and my fatty husband. When we met 11 years ago, we were pretty darn smokin' hot. What had we done? Oh noes! Yeah. So we ditched our cable plan so we could afford a trainer in June 2011 and never looked back. I have lost 30lbs to date and went from 38% BF to 24%. Today, I'm going to sign up for 3 months of CrossFit to try out a new challenge. I love Nerd Fitness, great blog! I'm looking forward to getting to know the community. It's nice to have some like-minded people to talk to who enjoy the same things as I do. Most of my nerd friends think I'm some kind of a gym rat jock freak now. Being healthy is now the true game!!!(I'm a big liar....I don't want to be healthy....I just want to not feel self-conscious at Halloween when I'm dressed up as an Orion Slave Girl or Alexstrasza or Xena...psh...no...I kid...I kid...or do I?)

hannahhrpark Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Most of my nerd friends think I'm some kind of a gym rat jock freak now. Being healthy is now the true game!!!I totally understand how you feel! One of my friends is always saying, "you're going to die anyway. Just enjoy now." But I feel like I will enjoy so much better things by being healthy. I sometimes like eating junk food (Nutella Bread pudding...YUM!), but to me, that's okay to have a little when I'm fit because I know I will burn it off. And it's easier when I have been working out regularly. So I totally agree with you there! So good luck with Crossfit! Link to comment
CodePrincess Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Thanks Hannah! Must husband stopped by the CrossFit place today and said there were people blowing chunks all over the parking lot Of course, he mentioned none of them were very fit. I am really looking forward to it now. It's going to be a great challenge!!! Link to comment

--- Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Yeah, we can go with epically horrifying. Or horrifyingly epic. It's six of one, half-dozen of another to me. Link to comment
tigersheart Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 welcome and I am right there with you! I truly would rather be lazy...but I enjoy it MUCH more being healthy and feeling good. And yes....definitely being able to have some vanity at least Link to comment
