Greetings!

[juliebarkley]

I"m here after reading Level Up Your LIfe, and I wish I had known that this community existed sooner.

 

I work in a library (the nerdiest workplace ever?), and I love reading all sorts of things. I also love learning about all sorts of things that I would love to try - weaving, foraging, permaculture, geocaching, survival skills - though I have done more underpants-collecting than actual trying. I'm hoping to change that.

 

I've never had much of a focus on fitness as I am so bad at sports, but I know I need to attain a basic level of fitness to stay healthy and really enjoy more activities. I'm not overweight, that's not why I'm here. I like hiking (or at least I think I would), exploring, and I would like to build basic strength through bodyweight exercises. I also need to get more healthy habits going. In particular, I need to work on improving my digestion by improving my gut microbiome.

 

Mostly, I want to stop feeling like I'm running on a treadmill in life, working really hard but never getting anywhere. I'm looking forward to joining my first 4-week challenge!

Hey @juliebarkley! How have you been getting on, have you found your way around the forum ok? 

 

Its a big forum and it can be quite daunting when you first join. We will be starting our next 4 Week Challenge next week, do you think you will join in? It's a great way to work towards achieving your goals and also helps you to meet other members and get support and encouragement.

I have created and posted my four-week challenge, but haven't really explored the rest of the forum yet. That's going to take some time.
