Nasbrain Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Hello. I discovered Nerd Fitness last week, and I just joined the community today! It's a lifetime commitment after all, I had to be sure I could do it. I'm 28 and sick of everyone thinking I'm a couch potato. I'm NOT a couch potato, I just eat too much bread, have a muffin-top, and am really shy. Sometimes I would get dressed in workout clothes to go out running, shoes tied and ipod set, but I would just not be able to go running. I was too shy to go out by myself, I thought everyone was judging me. Anyway, I'm shy. So part of my rebellion is rebelling against my shyness. At least I don't have to be shy about the nerdy things I like here at NF! I have big goals, I want to practice yoga every morning (and I don't even do yoga right now), be really flexible and strong, lose weight, and not feel shy about myself. I want to start working as an awesome OR nurse, become conversational in Spanish, join a Celtic music session group, get 8 hours of sleep every night, eat a sugar-free & gluten-free diet, and spend more time in nature. Nerd Fitness came to me at the right time! I'm really excited about where I'll be on 12/31/2012 --hopefully I'll have surpassed my goals, we'll see.

Nasbrain Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I know, that's going to be the hardest goal I'm sure! Quote “The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.†~ Ayn Rand Link to comment

Best of Luck! Quote Run Loba, Run Link to comment
Nasbrain Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Thanks for the welcome! I really like yoga. I've started to do some sun salutations via youtube videos in the morning, it feels so good! I know, I've got a lot of goals, and I've had a few of them for years--seriously. (I've been wanting to lose 20 pounds for about 12 years) I already do some of them, like study Spanish, play music, and spend time in nature, just not consistently. I've been gluten-free for about 4 days, it feels so great too! I think the hardest things to achieve will be sleeping 8 hours/night, eating a sugar-free diet, and losing weight. I really think I can do it though, I just have to apply myself in new ways...but we'll see after my first 6-week challenge. Thanks for the support!
