So what now that I have reached one whole size goal, went into maintenance and decided to lose some more?

I have become a nerd.

It is true. I have entered the ranks of geekdom - but I am a proud spaz! I embrace it wholly.

With that said, I wanted to take a moment and urge everyone to get out there and start doing the things you left behind - it was, to me, a most important thing. It reminded me of why this was all so important in the first place.

Every Sunday, I dress up like a mideval warrior of some vague "Mordor"ish kind, and get out in a park in the middle of Houston and fight with foam-padded swords...and I do it for hours. I fight, I am good actually - I am getting faster and I am accurate and a "well earned kill" (or so I have been told). People frequently seem very suprised to get up close and realize I am a middle aged woman. If I tell them about the weight loss, they just seem stunned.

I run and fall and jump and waive these swords around. I get bruised and out of breath and I love it, and it gets dark before we realize the day is done. I had not been able to do that in 15 years.

I am a LARP geek, and I am proud!

What is your most missed? Please, share!

Get out there! if not now when?

You go girl!!

Ahhh... you may run in circles I used to run in. LOL I used to play in Larps in Houston.

I work in an IT call center. Larping is a common practice here. Nothing to be ashamed of , embrace you geekness.

There are some LARPers that meet in the park cross the street from my home. I enjoy watching them. Some are actually pretty agile! I have seen only males in that group, but maybe I need to look closer. Good for you! This seems to be a great way to get some good activity in. My surgeon says the best excercise is the one you enjoy doing
