CeeCee Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Which is a good first step. Eventually I plan to be lifting and throwing said rock.I found NF sometime in February if I recall correctly. I used to be in really good shape. I used to climb trees like nobody's business. I've run track, cross country and even a marathon. But somehow I lost all who that person was. The past 3 years have been consumed with nursing school and my first nursing position. Too much stress, not enough sleep and not nearly enough fun movement have resulted in body-by-cortisol. Stress developed into full fledged depression and I found I had little to no energy to do anything other than go to work and maybe immerse myself in my computer game or stare at SyFy. Well, I got sick of that! (Both literally and figuratively.) I am ready to replace that with body-by-intention. Or heck, even body-by-joy. I want to dance, hike and camp again.Step 1: Do something about the depression. I was soundly considering not mentioning this here, but I KNOW exercise and diet help with depression so long as one can get the depression lifted enough to get the fitness and diet going. I started nutritional therapy with a back up plan of pharma. So far it is working well enough to get me to Step 2. Step 2: Take on Rebel Fitness for real, not just as a Good Idea. This meant (among other things) saying Yes to the challenge when I found it (yesterday - in the nick of time.) It also meant willing myself to actually engage with other people (or orcs/dwarves/elves/etc as the case might be.) This leads to Step 3.Step 3: Join and participate in the forum and the Rebellion. Um, yes... talking to people, kinda scary. Forum structure... really baffling. But here I am. Baby adventurer. Wanna be assassin (though I'm not even close to having the gymnastic skills for it). Gonna be something better than yesterday. Even if that just means getting outside.

CeeCee Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Thank you for the welcome all. CalvinHobbes - do you work rotating shift?

CalvinHobbes Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Sadly no we work 3-4 (overtime=4) 12's a week and I'm on days only, possibly switching to nights. I try to work out before work if I'm working in a row and can't just have an off day... Link to comment
CeeCee Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I work rotating days / nights. I'm on nights right now. So I'll squeeze in as much as I can before shower time. Some is better than none!

CeeCee Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Under the rock got too cramped. Last challenge I did succeed in getting out and doing stuff. One of the stuffs was an adventure park. And I fell in love with it.So I decided I am not going to wait for the strength and gymnastics to join the Assassins. I'll find them on the way.<nods> Half-elf Assassin, lvl 2St: 5, Dex: 3, Sta: 2, Con: 2, Wis: 3, Char: 3Current Challenge: TBDBattle Log: Up-Down, Up-Down, Repeat as Necessary*Burpee Backlog: 10 Link to comment
