nomnomzombie Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 So I'm kind of forum shy for a nerd, but allow me to introduce myself! My name is Jane and I'm 27! The last time I weighed myself I broke my scale. Actually the battery just went dead, but I haven't replaced it and I haven't really started any sort of fitness change until today. Using the power of assumption I can divine that I am still 170-ish lbs today and a height of 5'6." BACK STORY I spent my early twenties in the 140's range, but I had terrible eating habits and sporadic workout habits. Then came my desk job after college and I kicked up the workouts but still had terrible eating habits and rose up to the 150's. Then my dad got sick. Like I had to move from Florida back home to Michigan to tend to him sick. After he passed I kind of lost it in the health department. I haven't done anything for a year now except stuff my face (eating my emotions, and they're not tasty). I got maybe to week 7 of C25K and when my running buddy got injured, I never really went back. I've been lurking around this site for a couple months now actually but it's Monday, it's the beginningish of June, and I've set some small goals and non-food rewards.EATING THINGS I'm not totally comfortable with any named diet plan (or food lifestyle?). That could change but since it's small changes I'm after initially, I'll just be tracking calories, carbs, fat, and protein on MyFitnessPal (Check me out, my name's the same over there). I've been tracking already for a couple months but I've been all over the place. To incentive-ize sticking to the plan without bored snacking and empty calories I've purchased the entire Lego Monster Fighters series. Each week that I eat clean in a row I'm allowed to build one set in ascending order from smallest set to largest. WORKOUTS I'll be mixing up the Rebel Strength plan and getting back in C25K. I also have the Run Zombies app, soooo maybe if I'm feeling a little to safe I'll try that out too.Is this too long for an intro message? Sorry guys! That's my story, looking forward to a healthier life. Link to comment
