FailFoxAsh Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I'm Ashley, 28 years old, 5'5" and 141lbs.I used to workout and weighed around 125lbs but ended up hurting my back, losing my job and getting real lazy so I gained a bunch of weight. Currently trying to get myself back down to somewhere in the 120's and get STRONGER. I'm not worried about the number of pounds lost so much as the strength gained and inches round the middle lost. I never did the big three lifts before this years training. My cardio could use a lot of work it's my most hated training exercise but something I want to be better at. I'm going to start training to run 5K in 30mins. Currently it takes me about 10 mins for 1 mile which I'd like to eventually be 8mins. Strength goals 2015Squat 150lbs - current 95Bench 100lbs - current 75Deadlift 185lbs - current 145 I try to train at least 4 days a week.I'd love to get back into martial arts but it's hard to find a training facility that isn't a Mcdojo that only cares about your money, charges you an arm and a leg and passes out belts for trying your best instead of deserving it. My diet is my biggest downfall. I love food, cooking, baking, eating is my favorite. I'm a bit of a food nerd/snob. Pre planned weekly meals get boring for me fast. I'd say it's the #1 reason I'm not losing the weight I want. Why am I on NerdFitness?I'm a huge Sci-Fi Fantasy fan. Love reading, video games, comics. If I had a training program to follow it would be "how to train to be Batgirl" that would be badass. I'm looking for new things to do at the gym change up my routine and chat with people about fitness Quote Link to comment

FailFoxAsh Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Yeah sure! I've been debating whether or not to sign up for the Spartan Race in June. I did the Warrior Dash in 2012, it was fun. Quote Link to comment
