Hello. I also have a predisposition to anemia but have not actually been anemic for a few years now. It's worth trying to incorporate more vegetables into your meals, especially dark leafy ones, and ensuring you have some source of vitamin C every day (if you don't already). Good luck.

Hi Erin. I applaud your marathon goal because I despise running hahaha. And kudos for hitting the gym despite surfing the crimson wave!

I'm thinking of joining just gotta wait till I have a computer to fill out the forum since my phone can't highlight the whole thing then copy only does a word at time sad .

I want to get into exercising to help with my depression and just to overall increase health.
I'd like to be a bit more on the stronger side so I can do stuff that needs to be done instead of depending on my family to help.

Life's too short to mope aroundso... mise well do something productive and tell it "see that life I did stuff! You can't beat me down forever!"

Again hoping that exercise will at least minimize my depression.

Bold for emphasis. =)

Even if you are unable to post regularly here, you can still get started on exercise. Do your best.

Name / Username You'd Like Us to Call You : River or Keji which ever you prefer.

Fitness Goals : to get some muscles cat_twisted
and keep my weight about the same (115LB)
Any other Details You'd Like to Share : I like to eat healthy but i usually dont because its expensive and im a middle class hobo that takes care of her animals before herself.
I like to run around though being a hermit for 3-4 years of my life due to depression makes it hard for me to build back my stamina. Bike rides are fun especially when you race a friend.
I like all animals~ i also like bugs just not the pests (mosquito roaches termits bed bugs ticks fleas etc. ) spiders are okay since they kill most of the other pests.

Opt-In to Points / Prize System ? (yes or no) : no thank you i wouldnt be able to keep track with that even if i tired.

No updates for the last few days!
Been really active though! I went hiking, backpacking, and surfing during obon break!

August 12: Hiked up to the 8th station on Mt Fuji, about 6 hours.

August 13: Woke up at midnight, hiked the rest of the way up Fuji to see the sunrise at 5 am. Took about 4 hours but it was REALLY slow going because of the crowds. Walked around the crater at the summit for a while, then hiked all the way down the mountain! Took a bunch of trains to Shimoda in Izu, and wandered around the town looking for food and a quiet beach to sleep on. I literally walked around with my pack for about 12 hours that day! Exhausting!

August 14: Woke up at 5am to break camp, went to a different beach, then went surfing! And of course more walking back out to our quiet beach to sleep.

August 15: Went to a different beach across town, swam and napped. Then took a 6 hour train journey back.

The whole time I was eating mostly cheap salads and wraps from konbini, and LOTS of nuts and trail mix. Probably could have drank more water, but I managed at least a litre and a half a day.

I got home last night and crashed SO HARD! I have today off before I go back to work, and it's definitely a rest day - I'm just gonna do some yoga because my whole body hurts! ^^

Such an awesome and exhausting vacation!! Climbed the highest mountain in Japan, backpacked around a surfing town, slept rough on the beach under the sky, carried everything I need for living with me on my back!
