Zasiel Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Hello Team! My name is Amanda, currently residing in the wonderful Vancouver, British Columbia. Lately I have come to realize I am not living to my potential, I am tired all the time and I feel mentally fatigued as well. I used to think my 12 hr shifts as a nurse were good enough but now I'm noticing I am lacking stamina to try to work as much as I used to. I noticed I have lost a lot of motivation for certain hobbies because I am just lethargic, so I really need to change my lifestyle to include some real fitness and better eating habits. I have been out a few times with the lovely zombie run app, which is extra glorious when you run at night. My long term goal is basically to get confident enough to job on the popular trails around here and feel like I have the energy to do what I want. I look forward to looking through all these amazing threads and finding out about this 6 week challenge thing.Thanks for looking guys! 2 Quote Link to comment
Noname123 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Welcome!!! I'm also participating in the 6 week challenge next week and it's also my first as well If you're looking for challenges to jump right into check out the ongoing PVP challenges as well, great source to kick start healthy habit changes! I was super lethargic and felt like I was dragging myself down. I felt like I didn't have enough energy to keep up with work, school and most of all my pup. I felt guilty going to the gym instead of spending time with her (I realize it was an excuse now because a lot of times I'd just sit in front of the computer or watch netflix, not really spend quality time with her). Since I started hitting up the gym a few times a week I get my me time (MUCH needed!) and my energy back to take pup for long walks/jogs and play with her when I'm home. The energy spike isn't instant but it's pretty quick, I started feeling better about what I could do and felt I had more energy just a week or two after I started. Good luck, and if you need extra motivation feel free to pm me Quote Spaz Ranger BATTLE LOG You can have results or excuses. Not both Link to comment
Zasiel Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Nice job! I'm definitely hoping to get into that loop of energy -> more fitness -> energy even just to keep up with normal life. I was the same when I lived at home with 2 dogs, kept saying I'd go for hikes but I'd be on Netflix too. I regret that now that I don't live near them. I bet you puppy is so happy now!
