EE_Bubba Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Howdy all, I am EE_Bubba. In the RPG world I would be the Oger (Actually one of my many nicknames), I am 6'4 and 370 Lbs, I am active, however i work at a desk alot. Best descreption would be acrofatic, I am big, but suprisingly nimble. I was introduced to this site by a good buddy who wants to see me accomplish my goals. As an Engineer by day i appreciate the setup and goal oriented aspects so far, as a nerd the whole day i like the aspect of fun and whimsy of the "Rebellion". I am thrilled to finally take the plunge and embrace both my inner (and outer) nerd and get healthier and in better shape. I am thinking this is the place for some encourgment, advice and accountability. Thanks all, and i looke forward to working with y'all.

RedSevenofNine Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Acrofatic. That is funny! I like you. I have a desk job, too. We will have to share tips of getting some activity snuck into our sedentary work days. Good luck to you!

EE_Bubba Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Welcome Bubba! Acrofatic? Are you a troper by any chance? In any case, good luck and keep us posted!Yes i am a troper, and i have an odd sense of humor. I wanted to post about that sense of humor today, as right now it is my main defense for what Winston Churchill referred to as his "black dog". I am blessed with a loving wife who will support me through anything however i am also my harshest critic and i get so down on myself at times. I beat my own self mentally. I am my main stumbling block. Right now i am trying to get my head right and starting with diet fixes, and I am enlisting my wife to help. Mostly I am trying to figure out how to declare my objectives, and make them bold enough to motivate me, and then gain them. I hope that in this Rebellion I have found some comrades who can support me the way I seem to be unable to do so for myself. I am going to keep my head high, and my self moving forward, and I am glad I listened to my buddy to join y'all here. 1 Quote NerdFitness Avatar It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better.

JessOfAllTrades Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 One of the best things about NF is the community. Welcome to the rebellion! I dig your humor, sir, and totally get it. Humor, especially of the self-deprecating nature, is my defense mechanism. If you need endless support or tough love (maybe both!) you'll find it here.
