Sticking to a Routine

[Rebel Pilot Gar]

Hi, I'm Garjan.

I've been following the blog for a few months now, but the new 6 week challenge inspired me to actually join the forums and get my life-levelling set in writing. I'm a 3rd year university student and stay relatively active - but have always had trouble with my weight, self-image, etc. I figure this will help me get my act together and buckle down a real routine to start improving myself and my lifestyle.

I'm super excited to be a new member of the rebellion. Everything I've read - from blog posts to rules of the rebellion and all the forum posts have inspired me to really work at improving the way I live. And comparisons to geeky things like video games, books and d&d help too.

Here are a few things about me:

Geek, gamer, girl.

I like lifting heavy metal objects - sadly I'm going back home so body weight workouts for me until classes roll around in the fall.

Cardio bores me to tears - I hate cardio machines and am not a fan of running due to generally poor endurance (but I do like biking and swimming for fun). Glad to have found others who also do things other than chronic cardio.

I like swords - the fencing variety. It's the sport that's kept me engaged the longest and I'd like to remain fit/healthy enough to continue for decades to come.

I fenced for a year in college--I sucked least at Sabre. I agree, it's quite addictive, and I still watch the 2*decade a tournament airs on ESPN19 or whatever.

Yeah I did a summer camp 7 years ago and never looked back. And we have a team at school which keeps me active in it. The only problem is how expensive it can be once you get really serious into it (boo tournament fees).

I've played around a bit with all three, but I'm an epeeist at heart. I have the rangering thing going though since I've also dabbled in the "normal" team sports, track, archery and martial arts
