Time to rise

[Rone the Anarchist]

"One must rise!"

 

My screen ID, Rone the Anarchist, combines two of the qualities that I was brought up with.

 

"Rone" is simple. I played world of warcraft for almost 8 years of my life, from 16 to 24. Rone was my main (an orc shaman for those who care). That game was like a drug, but when I was moved to Poland for two years, I was able to kick that game to the curb finally. Thank god I did. I play a lot of games, but they all get boring eventually. Except it took 8 years for this one. I have plenty of friends who still play it. So this shows the video game and rpg side of me. 

 

"The Anarchist" speaks to my view in life. I am a history major, a former high school football player, IT specialist, former ESL teacher, and more. Can't is not a word I like using unless it implies a scientific fact (which even those will be broken eventually). I am a very patient when it comes to life and people.  However individualist kind of person. Any problem I have, though frustrated by others, is still a problem I can/could fix or prevent. So whether it was travelling for four years from poland, to russia to china, by myself, or being the weakest link on the football team, or having a hard time adjusting to a new work environment. I get things done!

 

On my next paycheck this Thursday I am purchasing the Nerd Fitness academy. I have worked out on and off for my whole life. However, due to my inept knowledge of how fitness really works, I never made any gains. The only exception to this was last year, I finally bit my wrist and ponied up the cash for a personal trainer. I learned a lot, and I saw very noticeable strength gain and weightloss. 20lbs in 2 months. With my wife coming into the country I canceled my gym membership and never found a new one. This was no excuse to stop working out, but I did. I already have my gym membership again, and I only stumbled upon this nerd fitness site yesterday! 

 

Why the sudden change. It has always been in the back of my mind to go back to being fit. I watched my waist line grow, how I fit into my 38 pants beats me. I know how much I was eating and drinking, and I knew it wasn't healthy. This is changing now! The straw that broke the camel's back, was that my wife bought me a $300 Hugo Boss gift card for my birthday, knowing full well I always wanted an outfit from there. However, when we went there I became furious with myself. Most of everything was slim fit, so no go. The two shirts that were not, The biggest size was too loose in all of the wrong areas, and the size just below was tight at the waist line I felt like it would pop the moment I bent over. This will change!

 

I like the idea. A lot. Combining RPG elements with fitness. I think this time, it is over and done. My goal is to get below 200lbs, no time limit as I don't feel that is being honest with myself. As long as I see progress each month, I will be happy, and I know the ultimate goal will be achieved. This will give me more opportunity to do things like CrossFit and a play soccer more. I am a huge soccer fan by the way.
