Kat C Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I'm another newbie here, but I'm not new to the quest for fitness. In fact I write about fitness, exercise, and diet just about every day. It's time for me to get myself back in shape instead of just writing about it-I have the tools (for the most part), but what I need is a serious ass kicking to keep going. My old workout partner/trainer left town and I'm on my own.I am a Martial Artist with a black belt in one style of karate, and a brown belt in kenpo-I'm an instructor for both. I've also studied Tai-Chi with several different people and I've added some to my kenpo katas as well. I was a world ranked professional athlete in 2006, but the cumulative effect of two knee surgeries, and years of training have left me strong and completely not fit.MY GOALSI gained a ginormous amount of weight after my last knee injury and I need to lose it. I'm trying to stick to 1200 cal/day and good protein and veggies, but when the cravings monster hits it's usually Fritos and sugar. While technically not binging, as long as its in the house, I eat it. However, once its gone, its gone- I don't go on junk food runs or anything like it, nor do I do it all of the time, just once every couple of months.Fitness Experience: Know a bunch about it-just don't practice a lot of what I preach due to 'no time' (I work probably 12 hrs/day 7 days per week on my blogs and my boss gives me no real options about it as I'm also his VA. I'm looking for friends and supporters and a way to kick my own buttKatC Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word 'safe' that I wasn't previously aware of.

SquinkyPheebs Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Glad to have you on board! What are the blogs you're talking about? Also, it sounds like once you find something you love you stick with it? HOW?!? I am horrible at sticking with anything, even if I've only tried it once. Suggestions? You'll definitely find supporters here SquinkyPheebs Elf Adventurer STR: 2 DEX: 2 STA: 5 CON: 2 WIS: 3 CHA: 1 "There is something morbidly fascinating about flying into an uncharted tunnel at reckless speeds with only the words of a kleptomaniac dwarf for what lay at the other end" -Artemis Fowl Earned: +1 DEX, +1 WIS, +1 STR Link to comment
Kat C Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I'm working on a couple blogs right now- one is sixpackabsv and the other is called createahealthyhabit. We're getting ready to jump into a couple more as well.As far as sticking to something once I start-I made a rule a long time ago that if I didn't love what I was doing, there was no point in doing it. Because of that, I find stuff to do-work sport-etc-that I love and it makes it easy to stick to.It takes practice tho- when I was in college I bounced around so much I ended up graduating with over 170 credit hours! Trust me-there are things I still bounce around on-but for the most part, that's a concentration thing more than anything else.
