Watermelon Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Hello All,I've been following the NerdFitness blog for about 6 months now and was instantly hooked (mostly because of the video links - who thought baby goats jumping around would be so mesmerizing) and just started to lurk around these forums last week. Well, I told myself that the next challenge coming up I would join in, so here I am joining in.Quick mini bio: Just now I am starting to come out of a quarter-life crisis of sorts. About five years ago I quite my good-at-it-but-not-my-love job to go to school full time so that I could work in the field I loved. I got that job, but didn't end up loving it, in fact I got very depressed thinking that I had made the wrong choice. I gave up things I loved like reading and walking everywhere and gained almost 50lbs. This goes on for about 3 years. Until we come to now, where like a lightbulb crashing down on my head I realize that you make your own situation - good or bad - out of every day. Nothing will ever change unless it changes in your mind first. So in last year I have come out of my pupa stage and started to do stuff - I joined a boot camp and couldn't walk for the first two weeks, ran in a Spartan race and finished it (mostly because of the boot camp), started to promote my personal mission on earth, and am getting back in touch with people I fell out of touch with.I count Egon Spengler and Carl Sagan as my heros (ok, so one is a fictional character, but come on - "don't cross the streams".) And spend most of my time staring at plants, collecting rocks, and eating watermelon, either singly or in combination Glad to be joining, bit scared of the challenge, and excited to get to know new people.-Watermelon [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] High Elf Druid Level: 1 STR: 3 // DEX: 2 // STA: 3 // CON: 1 // WIS: 4 // CHA: 2 "It is through creating, not possessing, that life is revealed." - Vida D.
