SPatrykus Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hi...Heard about NF from Citizen Kane on Geekshowpodcast (NSFW! but hilarious)Now my friends think I am even more of a nerd whenever I tell them about the new workout I've found on NF.I am determined to be more active and less of a fatty. So much so that I turned my desk at work into a standing desk, joined a softball team, park as far away from my office as I can so my walk is about five minutes. Oh and I signed up for the Spartan Race in June aaand the Tough Mudder in September. I have run the Dirty Dash for the last three years, It's a blasty blast and i signed up this year as well. I have a Green Lantern tattoo on my leg and the Sword of Truth on my forearm. Looking for new ways to kick my trash and meal ideas as well as nerdy references and comradery. 4 Quote Level 1 RangerChallenge 1STR 0 | DEX 0 | STA 0 | CON 0 | WIS 0 | CHA 0"Geekshow says HEY!""Do or do not, there is no try" My Goals:1) Destroy the Spartan Beast in June2) James Bond the $h!t out of my wedding Tux3) Finally see a six pack (outside of my fridge) Link to comment
Silo Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Wow, you are on a roll! Welcome to NF. How did you turn your desk into a standing desk, by the way? I'm looking for low/no budget ways to do this. Quote 2016 goals: Hit goal weight.

Chris-Tien Jinn Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Welcome to the Rebellion, SPatrykus!! Those sound like fun races, and I look forward to hearing about them. Pics are always welcome around here!! Silo, here's a list of inexpensive ways to create a standing desk.

SPatrykus Posted May 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 SiloI have a desk that attaches to the cubile walls so I just unhooked and raised it a foot but I have seen the IKEA idea work before.
