Hi - newbie here
| Mon, 02-21-2005 - 3:01pm |
I am new to this board. I am 31 years old, and just need to solidify workout habits a little better.
I have 2 beautiful girls, age 11 and almost 3. I have come a long way fitness-wise so far.
I used to be a size 16 and 180 lbs (at almost 5'8"). Currently I weigh in at about 155 and am in a size 6. My littlest one thinks I look a lot like Angelina Jolie - which I think is cute. Not quite true, but cute!
Anyway, I do have to get back into a routine on fitness, especially since I am studying to be a personal fitness trainer and sports nutritionist. I'm looking for a board to help me stay accountable to myself.
I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you!

Hi Mouse!
I love your attitude! I'm usually like that too, except in the dead of winter like now!

Welcome to this board. It's very active, lots of great people here. I've been here since the fall of last year and have gained some very useful advice. It's nice to "meet" people one's age who have some of the same challenges and many of the same goals.
At 31, nearly 32 now, I am working toward changing careers. After speaking with the head of personal training at one of our largest local fitness centers, I decided to take one of the three courses he recommended. I'm going to start working on the ACE certification program. After I get certified, I will be able to train with his staff.
I'm so excited, but a bit nervous too. I have a degree in commercial writing with a minor in advertising and have worked for a newspaper for seven years.
It sounds like you've already put in a lot of work as far as your physical fitness efforts are concerned. You're setting such a good example for your girls.

Welcome mouse!!
It's not so much the low body fat as it is the fact that I carry my weight well. You can still tell where I need to work even though I am a size six.
Once I tone up, I will probably end up weighing more, because I also develop muscle easily.
