Kermit Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Hi there,I've been reading here for a few months, and decided its about time I commit to do what I've been doing half-arsed in that time.I guess I'd describe myself as a ranger - relatively strong compared to the average, with fair endurance - but its all in my legs and I want to improve on that.I spent the first 20+ years overweight. Now through some hard work and good choices I'm relatively healthy. This is partly due to what I've read on here and also trying to eat better quality food whilst doing IF.I'm also genetically blessed with good lower body strength (trousers never fit me!) but my upper and core is a lot weaker than I'd like. So this is my focus for the near future.I've always found it easier to exercise my lower body, I love cycling (if any of you know Mark Cavendish I'm that shape... with a gut!).I have a bit of a complex when it comes to using free weights in the gym - but I'm going to push my comfort zone to make sure I'm ok with it. Pull-ups are constant battle and my PB is still 1!I travel around Asia a lot for work and I'm single, so the temptation for quick/rich food and is always there!In the near future I'll be travelling a lot more, relocating from the UK to Kuala Lumpur and working longer hours.This intro is dragging a bit...Essentially I'm here for accountability so that I keep on track with the progress I've made - and step it up some more!PS about me - I'm a huge Smiths/Morrissey fan, whisky drinker, Manchester City supporter and I'll do anything... especially if someone tells me I can't.As of today - Day 0 - I'm 175cm/80Kg. I'm not bothered about those figures, as weight loss isn't a goal. Strength and body fat percentage is, but that's a bit harder to measure! Quote Link to comment
Kermit Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 If that's not enough think of a tea drinking cross between Mr Bean and Rick Mayall with a compulsion for making up bizarre stories (some of them might even be true!). Quote Link to comment
redimagination Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Welcome! And well done on getting healthier. Are you going to do the 6 week challenge? Quote Current Challenge Previous challenges:7, 6, 5, 4, 3. 2, 1 I am the one thing in life I can control Link to comment
Kermit Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Just had a look, and yeah I will be. As long as I can begin a couple of days late!On Tuesday I'll be travelling for 24 hours, so that'll give me opportunity to write my goals... and hopefully kill some time too! Quote Link to comment
