I'm ready to rebel!

[Lunaspirits]

Hello! My name is Alyssa. I am a 19 year old girl who is ready to change her life! I feel like I've been slightly depressed for the past few years. I've been on summer break for a while (almost over) and It wasn't until recently I realized despite the awesome visions I have for myself, I didn't even take one step to take action. I sat on my couch and played computer games. I love my computer games, but the food I eat combined with the lack of exercises, is not doing be any favors. I've gained 15 pounds this summer, I feel like I am dying on the inside. All the crap I am eating is just killing my body and my lack of exercises is making me lazier than I already am. I am so out of shape that I pulled a muscle TWICE in a 3 month period on each leg, just because I was skipping for no longer than 3 seconds... They healed in no more than 2 weeks, but because of the lack of exercise, I literally have no real flexibility in my legs.

I am glad that I found NF! I need it!! I think this whole idea is a great one! I love being a nerd, but I want to be a fit happy nerd. I am not completely sure yet what will make me happy, but I know what is not making happy! Being unhealthy and being scared of change or trying something new. I need to leave my unhappy life and start a happy life! It is time to rebel!!!

Here's to having a happy life!

Hi Alyssa, I think you will find many people who have been through the same problem.

Video games and food are great, in moderation. I know how hard it is to moderate videogames though, I play heaps all the time

Have you thought about setting some goals and what sort of exercise you like?

The next step would be to start your own Workout Battle Log. I didn't think it would help much, but I was wrong. It helps me so much.

A good tip is to put your Log's link in your signature, that way we can support you better.

I like your location too, I never would have guessed

Welcome to the Rebellion!

What Ghost said about having a workout battle log is worth it, is so true, something I sort of wish I had started at the very beginning when I stated working out was some sort of log or record. I like to think (I would say look, but I can't) back to when I started, to see how far I have came, and knowing that, can put me in a pretty good mood.

Thank you both for the tip! The idea of starting a Battle Log would have never crossed my mind. Now I think I should actually try that! I've decided to do the 6 week challenge. I think starting a workout battle log sounds like something good to add on to it!
