weedy Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Hi all, I am Rebel Weedy(!), just started with Nerd Fitness and finding my way around... My big why is my daughter. She is three years old and I want to be an old, grey mother watching her turn into an amazing adult. I have health issues so need to get myself as fit and healthy as I can to encourage my body to take on many more years of life!!! Saying that, I am currently pretty active in my day-to-day life... As well as running around after my gorgeous toddler, I like to go to the gym (and do weights! :-) ), yoga and walking my dogs. I have many quests, including... trekking up to Macca Picchu, doing a canoe marathon, rock climbing, making my own clothes, do a box jump (how on earth does anyone ever jump that high?!), learn to play bridge and many more...! So, to achieve these, I first need to get my body in better shape. I am 5'7" and weigh in at 174lb (12st 6/79kg). I want to drop 30lb and greatly improve my fitness. I hope that may enable me to start running, something that is a bit of a family tradition, with both my brother and father having completed multiple marathons! So hello to everyone! I will post my first goals ASAP... Just need to do a bit of stuff in the Academy first to understand what I'm meant to be doing...!! Weedy xx Quote Link to comment
LaScozzese Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Welcome!!!! I'm a newbie too. I love your goals and quests and I'm a runner myself so we could be online accountability buddies if you decide to go down that route... in any case welcome welcome welcome! Quote Link to comment
weedy Posted April 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Hi LaScozzese, Thank you for your warm welcome! And it would be lovely for me to pick your brains on everything running when I get nearer that point... Don't really want to be pounding my legs yet, until some weight is off. Have you done any of these four week challenges? I'm thinking of putting myself down for the one this Sunday. I think I'll start lightly... Something fairly achievable, just to build my confidence and get me moving forward. Bit scared of the whole accountability thing though... Just in case I fail!! Quote Link to comment
