Bolverk Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Hello all. Found the site last night. Allot of good information to absorb. My name is Bolverk (Fred) I'm from Portland. A little back story: Ok. So my wife asks if our scale made the move. I told her i hadn't scene it so i doubt it. Fast forward a year and change, I'm trying to drill a hole for a access point i just bought to get it into the basement. When i see a box i haven't gone though. Bam, scale! Awesome. Toss some battery's in it. (it's one with profiles) And low and behold hers and mine are still there. Awesome! I click my profile and stand on it. 231 lbs. Wow.... i thought i was like 200, maybe 210 at best. 231 lbs. So i apparently am this thing called "Fat". I know, i didn't realize it either! But i should do SOMETHING about it i guess. So I looked online and found some workouts. I will be posting more on here. Hopefully keeping my self accountable. I didn't even tell Jenna i was going to do this till today. (Because, to be honest getting up at 545 to go run, not my idea of fun, and there was a high chance i would be like "Naw... I'll start next week") But i did it. And you can watch my progress here. https://www.zombiesrungame.com/Bolverk/5k/ I'm doing the training for a 5k as it's good for beginners. My only issue is i didn't look at what play list it pulled the music from. Classical. Ok, i dig that. But i found out quickly the songs are long (upwards of 7 mins) AND, i only have 2 in that play list. so 40 mins of the same 2 songs was no fun. But the app is pretty cool. Sets up a story and why your running ect. It diffidently helped. When the zombie was "closing in" i don't think i have ever ran that fast.... (grant it, it was 1/2 a block, but hey this is my first time "running" since high school.) So yeah. Exorcizing. Next step. Looking at my diet. As i sit at work eating a package of almonds, and a pair of hard boiled eggs. Sadly i haven't figured out my goals yet. I know i want better sleep. I have an issue where when i do go to sleep, it feels like i idematly open my eyes and it's morning. No "rested" feeling at all. So i'm hoping running will cure that. Also i just want to drop weight and panths sizes. Being 5'9 and 230 puts me at a size 38 waist in my jeans. And that, is REALLY depressing. So i hope by posting here, and facebook that i will keep this up. Maybe even get down to 140 where i should be. I guess it's the start of an adventure. Quote Link to comment
Super Destroyer Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Way to get started. You have come to the right place. There are a lot great people on here that are willing to help. I have to ask, though. Where did 140 lbs come from? Good luck on your fitness quest! Quote "It is cutting time......"
