dewalt2d Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hey to all you Rebels from the girl from the Great White North!So I have probably lurked around this site for a good year or more now and I have learned quite a few things, but as much as I continue to read this awesome site, I still can't find it in myself to stay motivated. I will do something for say a week maybe a month and fall off the wagon and procrastinate to get back on. So I am hoping that with finally making myself known, it will kick start my ass into gear. So a bit about me right now. I am 5'4" and 125 lbs. I am not completely out of shape, I can easily do three sets of ten of proper push ups, dance all night, hike all day. But most days I am just tired and can find no energy to get up and go do something active. I feel that if my fitness level improved, I would not be so tired all the time. But that is just me being hopeful. My goals:1. I want to get strong - but I am not sure how to do this, should I use barbells or body weight or some hybrid? Any input is appreciated 2. Be less tired and lazy. 3. I would ideally like to have my body fat % to be about 18-19%. I know this will be a result from getting stronger and eating the proper foods. 4. Be able to run 5km.

The *Other* Green Fairy Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 SNOW! O_o*cough*Snow is a novelty where I come from. So y'know, where you live is sort of awesome imho.My starting advice is probably not too different from Laney's, though I imagine there'll be people willing to advise if you look into the Rebel Army Base Camp folder?Staying motivated is always my issue. Announcing your presence is a great step. Also, we're only a few days into the latest 6 week challenge. That might help you stay focused, if you have a set deadline and a 4 point plan.

dewalt2d Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Thank you for the warm invite! Laney, thanks for the reply. I am slowly working towards paleo, I have done it before and really enjoyed it, but then I moved and we have bread and stuff in the house. So I would like to use it up just so it doesn't go bad and become a waste. I am hoping by the end of the week it will all be gone and I can go paleo! The *Other* Green Fairy, snow is a novelty when it first comes and around christmas time. But where I live it is often joked we only have two seasons, 4 months of summer, 8 of winter. Which isn't to far off. We can and have had heaps of snow on the ground for 6+ months of the year. Also what/where is the rebel army base camp folder, I can at least look at it and increase my knowledge. Thanks! Link to comment
The *Other* Green Fairy Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Here's a link to the folder. You can find it if you go to the Forum Home. It's under this New Recruit folder link.
