Nerd from Montana

As I said, I am a nerd. Growing up, I wanted to be a Jedi. I watched the orginial trilogy so much, I wore out two VHS copies before I was 10. I still remember the day the NES came out as one of the happiest days of my life, and I've been gaming ever since. That said, about six years ago, I started working out, primarily running, after nearly passing out running to a final. After a few months, I reached the limit of what I could do. I didn't have the strength to go any faster or longer, so I got a cheap weight set, and started lifting. It was pretty ragged, I just put as much weight on the bar as I could and tried to move it.

 

It took me about a year to realize I wasn't making much progress, so I started reading and researching. I did pretty good for a while, but without a set goal in mind, I bounced from one plan to another. Unfortunately, I never found one that quite worked for me. So for five years, I've been working out to stay healthy, but never really working towards a goal.

 

Then about a month ago, I stumbled onto Nerd Fitness. Being a gamer, I like the idea of the RL RPG, so I'm going to level up, and see if I can't focus on a goal. Now I'm ready to sign up for the challenge.
