New Brazilian Rebel

[MandyM]

Hi, my name is Amanda and i got to admit.. i just messed up every try to get in shape.

I'm 21, 174 pounds (79kg) and used to be an atlet.. trained with the soccer team, run at least 4 times/week, and trained Kung-Fu..

Then, i went to college, started to work.. and everything just went out of control. In 3 years, got 44 extra pounds.

And now i think is time to burn it all again.

Every aspect in my life seems to go well.. work in a great company, personal life goes great.. but my self-esteem is starting to drop, and i'm getting worried.

And my great weakness is the diet : i have a strong body.. so even big like i'm now, i can still run, fight and all that, but just can't eat properly.

Because of that, i'll declare my first challenge :

>> Eat right the whole month and exercise 2 times a week. <<

Okay, now i said it out loud, and can't pretend it's all okay and keep lying to myself! ;D

And well.. summer is starting here in Brazil.. i want to fit in my bikini again! LOL

Welcome! Diet is 80% of the battle (but the hardest part I tend to find).

Welcome Mandy!, I hope you stay here for a while, there is a lot of help and encouragement around here. About your diet, set some specific goals and keep track of them! it's the best way to make sure you stay on track.

Well, the good news is that i liked paleo diet before i knew what it meant... I just love to cook meat and vegetables and i think that i'll start like this =)

I'll post something every week to follow up this goal, and hope it works!

Welcome, Mandy! Way to jump right into your new way of living! I know what you mean about not being able to lie to yourself anymore....I'm sure you'll find lots of support here to help on your journey. In about a week and a half we're going to be starting a new 6 week challenge, so start thinking about 3 fitness goals (you've already stated two that would work really well, so think of a third) and one life goal (something you want to change about your life) and join us! We are just finishing up one, and I can't tell you how amazing it has been Good luck with your goals!

Hi Hiraedd!

I liked this idea of 6 week challenge... but don't know exactly how it works.. Does this have anything to do with the classes/races and stats in your signature?

And guys, thanks for the support!

Hi everyone o/

I read some threads about 6 week challenges, and the last one ended in November 5.. and i want to join the next one! =)

I'll think better about goals, create a good character and wait for the announcement!

I'm still making a better diet than last week.. and made a 45 min circuit on my bike on the streets yesterday. It felt really nice to stretch my muscles again

[MandyM]

And iiiiiiiii'm Finally back!! *yay*

Welcome back! How goes the healthy eating?

 

Hi! My healthy eating is not that good, but i subscribed for the next 6week challenge to finally run 5k in 30 min..

Since i'm not good yet about controlling my diet, i just decided to have fun and start running again. When i run, i'm less anxious, i just feel better and eat better too, so i'll go with that for now.

 

Thanks for replying, it's really cool to have people to talk with =)
