BioWelcome to my little piece of mindless PR. Costumer, dilettante, Glamour Girl and International Woman of Mystery.
If you got here via a friend of a friend and are wondering who I am, you may know me in the SCA as Elena Edgar, where I've played almost exclusively in the Kingdom of the West since 1995.
Things you might like to know about me but weren't sure how to ask:
I speak rather authoritatively in this forum on the topic of weight loss, weight maintenance, diet and exercise. This is because I've lost more weight (and kept it off) than anybody you know. At my highest in 1998 I weighed approximately 380 pounds (possibly more, I didn't have access to a scale that registered any higher at the time, and that was where it maxed out). Over the next 5 years, utilizing two different methods on which I lost 100 pounds each (and trying and failing at many others), I have attained a healthy body that I like. I've been maintaining my goal weight of ~175 since 2004. At 5'11" I aim to maintain a BMI between 24.5 and 24.9, and writing about my struggles with diet and exercise here is one of the tools I use to succeed.
Naturally I have strong opinions on this topic, and readers of this journal are subjected to them on a regular basis. This is not because I think anybody must or should follow my advice - frequently it is simply a reminder to myself, as maintaining any kind of lifestyle change requires constant vigilance.
Other things you might want to know:
I sew historical costumes, and have been active in the SCA since 1995. I tend towards a late 16th century Courtier persona, and have been apprenticed since 2002 to the best 16th C. costumer in the known world, Mistress Genevieve de Vendome.
I am madly in love with![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
cathyn. We met at Pennsic in 2007 and married on a Wednesday evening in August of 2009 in Vegas - naturally Elvis performed the ceremony.
Travel is my passion and where I spend my money, I drive a cheap car and live within my means so I can travel more. Seems obvious to me.
Oh yeah - I occasionally work as a Data Architect, too. It's a living.
