Rebel Pilot Gar Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 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.

Oklibrarian Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 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.

Rebel Pilot Gar Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 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 "Always remember, your focus determines your reality." - Qui-Gon Jinn, The Phantom Menace "I Find That Answer Vague And Unconvincing." - K-2SO, Rogue One ”Persistence without insight will lead to the same outcome.” [spoilers], The Book of Boba Fett Link to comment
