Doe Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 I'm 29 and an energy engineer. So while I spend most of my days in front of a computer doing math and stuff. I spend 1-3 days out in the field: on roofs, construction sites, in crawlspaces, boiler rooms, etc. Climbing and crawling into tight spaces is not out of the ordinary. Seriously tho I enjoy it, it makes me feel like a badass. I've been overweight all my life. Though I had weight loss surgery in 2002 and have kept off about 150lbs of that away still a good 100lbs to go, I lost 40lbs last year (first year at this job) but gained 20 back recently due to a bad bout of anemia and other defiencies. I'm having to do weekly blood and iron transfusions, it sucks. Trying to get back to working out 3x a week and off of transfusions. 1 Quote Battle Log | Current Challenge | Instagram "...You must always keep the star in your heart shining strong to defeat the dark and evil souls." - Queen Serenity Link to comment

oldnews Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Welcome! Your job actually sounds like a nice compromise between the sedentary office life and constant manual labor. Hopefully it both helps keep you active, and doesn't wear you out too much. Good luck on your goals. 1 Quote Battle Log: [auntdinosaur] unstuck in time Link to comment

Good luck on your goals.That's one of the things I love most about my job, the combination of office and field work. it can make scheduling gym time kind of hard since my schedule is always different but that's one of the things I am working on during my first challenge 1 Quote Battle Log | Current Challenge | Instagram "...You must always keep the star in your heart shining strong to defeat the dark and evil souls." - Queen Serenity Link to comment
