Katariana Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hi! So, I've been reading Nerd Fitness (or browsing the site) probably three or more times a day for nearly a month...... I'm definitely more of a researcher/reader than someone who just jumps in to participate, but I'm ready to change things up! Well, I've been eating Paleo for a while now, and I finally started lifting maybe 2-3 weeks ago (compared to previously, where I stuck to my treadmill 24/7). Mostly, I've realized I just have a TON of questions..which may..or may not... have been why I finally stopped simply reading and decided to join the forums. Being a nerd, I'm not normally all that social, so joining a community instead of just trekking along by myself is a huge leap for me, but this seems like the place to do it! I'm excited Just a little bit about me - I'm a 24 year old girl, I live in southern Cali (just moved here from Kentucky), normally I'm a runner (like multiple marathons, I actually love to run, I'm a weirdo like that), reader, Halo enthusiast (I love me some FPS), and a Chemistry major. Literally, I majored in something that lets me work in a lab by myself avoiding people, and getting paid for it! And possibly making things blow up, hee hee. My husband once compared me to the Hulk - all calm scientist by day, rage monster by night. I'm taking it as a compliment. Oh, and I have two amazing dogs, who come hiking with me like 3 times a week. They're troopers I guess that's about it, here's to taking the plunge!!! (Oh, do I include my goals too? I wanna get Hulk-Smash strong. Like...hold my own against Liam Neeson tough. Challenge the strongest, biggest guy at the bar to an arm wrestling contest and kick his butt, being a 5'3 size 4 girl. And P.S. I've never not risen to a challenge ) Lvl 1 Khajit RangerStr - 4.5 Dex - 3 Con - 1 Sta - 3 Wis - 4 Cha - 5It's okay to be happy to see me.

the.simple.songbird Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Hi there! I'm new as well. You sound fabulous. I was a long time reader as well...and I'm also socially awkward. High five? I did bodyweight exercises & dumbbells for a while, but I recently dove into the barbell world, and I've fallen in love. I'm sure you will too, if you haven't already! Welcome, and may the force be with you. | katie z | twitter| instagram| blog always be happy with yourself--but never be satisfied. +take responsibility for the energy you bring into this space.

chris_de_maas Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Ha! Brilliant!! Love your goal and it actually sounds very very familiar... My husband and I have a yearly competition consisting of me trying to smash him at arm wrestling!!! Hasn't happened yet, although I'm betting on it for this year!! I'm new here too btw and also about to start lifting after about 2 years of bodyweight interval training. Hope you have a blast and see you around Level 6 Amazon Assassin Ranger challenges: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 the rebuilding of the Amazon: #6 Link to comment
