cactuscat Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Hello! My name's Hayley, I'm a 30yo New Zealander. 5'10", 100.5kg. Over the last three years I've dropped 17.5kg, still have another 25kg or so left to burn. I don't want it to take another 3+ years to reach my goals, or lose muscle getting there, so I'm stepping up my game! I have trouble staying focussed, so I'm hoping that I'll find some accountability partners here. I'm teetotal, dairy free, wheat free, sugar free, omnivorous. I love seafood. I like a lot of variety in my cardio activities.I've always been pretty haphazard with strength training, so it's time to start following an actual training plan and keeping track of what I do so that I can finally start making some progress!Hmm, what else... I live alone apart from two cats, and work in a plant nursery. I'm currently learning to drive (yup, at 30! Better late than never, right? ).Yoroshiku onegaishimasu! We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.

DaveSix Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Welcome. For maintaining/building muscle while shedding fat, check out intermittent fasting/LeanGains.http://www.nerdfitness.com/community/showthread.php?10156-The-Official-IF-Leangains-Mutual-Support-ThreadYou get to eat big meals and (coupled with strength training) still lose weight. It's awesome. Link to comment

Ocelot Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Not exactly though I've worked outside on farms before. I just love botany and plants in general! I'd love to get a job with a more in-depth approach rather than just trying to get the harvest in as fast and mechanically as possible which is what the food industry is generally all about. | STR 15 | DEX 14 | STA 14 | CON 10.5 | WIS 11 | CHA 7 | Level 5 Ocelot's Dossier - Battle Log | Springing into my Sixth Challenge!

cactuscat Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 The nursery trade can be rather mechanical, too: collect, prepare and stick 2k lavender cuttings, rinse and repeat. I'm lucky enough to be with a very small nursery, only 6 staff, so I get to do a really wide range of tasks. It'd be awesome to be in botanical research, that's probably about as in-depth as you can get! We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.

tekilla Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Hey Hayley! You're about 20mins away from my home town of Levin! (though, some say that's nothing to brag about, hehe). Good luck with the last kgs, shout out if you need any help Level 2 Adventurer ║ STR: 1 ║ DEX: 1 ║ STA: 2.25 ║ CON: 3.75 ║ WIS: 8 ║ CHA: 6.25 Current quest - round 2, again!

cactuscat Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 OMG! I go to Levin at least once a week! I'm going tomorrow, in fact, to drop off some plants with a customer. I think Levin's actually pretty underrated (remember when IceTV rated it the most boring town in NZ??) - then again, I grew up in Otaki... >.> We are what we repeatedly do.

candi Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 I spent the first 8 years of my life in Levin - and back then I thought it was just fine... Im not sure if moving to Feilding after that was an upgrade or a downgrade really. I love small towns My blog Link to comment
