MsMelissa Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hi Everybody!Thanks for taking a few minutes to get to know a little bit about me. The basics- 43, single mom (daughters are 22 and 7 yes that's correct- 22 and 7), work full time, 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 sugar glider and a billion fleas. The fleas are on their way out the door, though, thank God. I like to read, watch TV, workout, play with the kids and dogs, ignore the cat and kill fleas. Fitness-wise, I'm currently (2/24/13) 5'5, 246 and 46% BF. I am eating high protein, low carb, mostly "Paleo" but I do eat lactose-free dairy because I'm on a very tight budget. In the last year or so I've lost 45 and kept off 20...I'm glad for that, because I didn't pack on MORE. I'm looking forward to adding muscle and losing fat so I can do things that interest me like Cross Fit (just cuz it looks fun), and keep my promise to my friend to do the Warrior Dash in 2014. I am looking forward to getting to know you better!!

Shukar Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Welcome to Nerd Fitness! We're glad to have you here, and glad the fleas won't be staying. Warrior dash was a lot of fun when I did it, something awesome to look forward to. Scout 30/Ranger 1 (3 skipped) Spoiler "I must not fear. / Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

By linking happiness to something you don’t have yet, you denying yourself the power to create it in the moment. Your happiness is your birth right. It shouldn’t depend on you ACHIEVING something.

curlyhairedwarrior Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hi! I'm new too. I laughed out loud at your 22 and 7 - I'm 21 and my brothers are 40 and 41; I know all about the raised eyebrows and funny looks. All the best with your goals and look forward to seeing you around.
