For 1HD creatures with no level adjustment (this includes all creatures found in the PHB), that simply means you are level 8.
For 1HD creatures with level adjustment, that means you are an amount of levels lower than 8 equal to your level adjustment.
For creatures with more than 1HD, that means you are an amount of levels lower than 8 equal to your level adjustment and starting hit dice.
So if you go with a PHB race, just make a level 8 character.
How do we determine abilities, hit points and gold?
