Yes, it is a hello world post. This is the first official post of this blog. Sorry it took me a day to get this updated. I wanted to get things configured right, and thought out before jumping into the whole blogging thing.
So, who am I?
I’m your average computer geek: I spend most of my time indoors; I always say I want to work out more but never do; I always say I want to get out and meet people but never do; I always say I will go to an event but never do; I always say I know what I need to change but never do…you get the idea here, no?
Last year, beginning of 06, I can honestly said I did it. For 6 months, I was out and about, going with an outdoors club, hitting the gym 3 to 5 times a week. I even went to Costa Rica for my 30th birthday. Unfortunately, just like majority of “us”, after I “did it” I became satisfied and fell back into my gutter. I have been here ever since, over a year now.
What is this site?
Two things I have learned in the past year is you need tracking — you need something to go to, write down what you did, why you did it, why it made you feel good and what you plan to do next. And you need accountability — people never do something if they feel they won’t be accountable for it. If I don’t have somebody, or something, constantly reminding me “get off your ass” I don’t do it.
I’m building this blog to fill in these two gaps: tracking and accountability.
What will be here?
In time, I plan to have a fully documented progression of what I have done to get off my ass. I will have photos of myself as time passes, so that I can see physical improvements and hopefully inspire others.
I wish to eventually build a community around my site to help motivate myself and others into “getting off our asses.”
Where to go from here?
This is my move; I will start hitting other productivity sites, health sites and attempt to inundate myself with them in attempts to not only change my mental mind set but also my physical habits in hopes to build a life style around them.
If you wish to post a response, giving me feedback, tips, kudos, please do. This is going to be a up hill battle. I am doing this all by myself, without any significant other to kick my ass if I slack. Any and all feedback is greatly welcomed.
On that note, wish me luck and feel free to subscribe! My goal is 4 posts a week, if not a full 7. That means updates often!
as a ‘friend of Yaro’ I’ll make your first post and encourage you to get off your ass.
Looks great over here much much better. Now get off your ass and do something will ya lmao;)
