A Most Nerdy Nsv!

...okay, so a MUCH younger me was always doing some sort of martial art - and at about 18 fell in LOVE with armed european swordplay - european martial arts, that sort of thing...so I fought in the SCA and other groups...I loved it and I was really good at it.

And then I packed on the weight and I just could not keep up. I lacked the arm reach and I was always injuring myself...

Sunday I participated in an event again for the first time, and I KICKED ASS, lol.

I was mediocre, actually...but it was the first time in fifteen years, and I won sparring events and survived the meley.

You may need to locate a nerd to interperate...

I was getting some Water, which is on the otherside of a bamboo wall in the park we were in and I heard one of the more experienced guys (who I almost beat 5/6) say "she hasn't done this is 15 years? really???"

you can't see it, but the sun is shining from WITHIN me right now, this - feels - sooo - freakin' - good!

Haha! I've been in the SCA since I was 17, but I never got into the fighting. I am more of an A&S and Dancing type girl. I am looking forward to being able to do a graceful Volta again without killing my partner on the lifts. LLOL I also play a LARP (Kanar) here in MI, and am already finding that it is easier to run frantically through the woods in a huge dress than it was pre op. It's funny how these little NSVs bring mre joy to activities we love. Fellow weightloss nerds unite!
