Hey rebels! My name is Marit. I'm 20 years old and I'm ready to make some changes in my life!

 

After reading the article about real life roleplaying, I think I'm probably a dwarf right now. I'm about 168 cm tall (5'6") and overweight at 77 kg (170 pounds?). I used to weigh a lot more. At my heaviest, I was 92 kg (202 pounds), maybe more. So I've already had some success. But I haven't had much progress this past year. I've been going up and down between 75 and 80 kg. 

 

So, currently a dwarf, but my long term goal is to become a monk! I used to train karate when I was 12-15, and I really liked it, but 15 year old me was stupid and quit because of a disagreement with the sensei. So I went from being a bit chubby to obese. 

 

I plan to join a karate club again, But there isn't a club I can join in the town I currently live in. I know there is one at the university that I'll go to in August, so I'll start training karate again then.

But that's 5 months from now, and I want to feel comfortable enough to take pictures on my vacation in the end of June! So I need to find something to do NOW.

 

I'm going to STOP comfort eating! This is the first step and maybe the most important step. after that, I will adjust my diet to be healthier, but I can't do it all at once. Paleo sounds interesting, but I doubt I could get my family on board with that. 

 

I have to find time to exercise! I should probably make a schedule and decide when I'm going to study and when I'm going to exercise in the afternoons between school and revue-rehearsals. I like swimming, so I'll go swimming once a week. This has worked for me before, but I've been slacking lately. In addition to swimming, I could go hiking. I live in a valley surrounded by mountains and beautiful nature, and there are many great places to hike.

As soon as the snow melts, I'll put my inline skates back on!

I also have some work out games for kinect that I'll try
