romeyb76 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Hello, My name is Jerome aka romeyb76 or simply, "Rome". I was born and raised in San Jose, CA but currently reside in Vacaville, CA. I'm happily married and a father-to-be. I've have a love/hate relationship with fitness because I wanted to get fit for superficial reasons such as having a nice body that people can admire and using it to find happiness. The methods I used to get there were spreading myself thin with trying to do multiple things to accomplish my goal and failing on eating plans constantly. Well, I lived that lie for too long and I finally have my priorities straight. After reading all the blogs on here, I discovered the one physical activity that I love doing which is running. So now my goals are focused on that and that alone. I want to become a stronger runner and as a father-to-be, I would like to be fit enough to chase my kid around without gassing out so quickly. Now, I enjoy building strength with calisthenics, and going on runs at least 2-3 times a week and I'm taking each process slowly. Instead of beating myself up for not getting the forms right, I just learn from my mistakes and do better the next time. I'm an IT Support Analyst which is something I really love doing but I have a passion for Web Development, and I'm working one day at a time to work in that field. Just wanted to say hello again and looking forward to meeting each and every one of you! Quote Keep it real, or keep it moving! Link to comment
