Hey bondgirl congrats on med school graduation...maybe I can pick your brain as my son is graduating high school and wants to go to med school after college...

We are hoping he gets into Berkeley because they have a pretty good acceptance rate for med schools...

Can I pm you with a few questions?

thanks!
 
I'm Kristen.

I live in Marin County, California, near San Francisco.

I've been a forum member here for a few years but mostly lurked until pretty recently. I've been doing Cathe's workouts since 1996!

I'm 43 and living with my fiance and our 17 month old Black Lab.

I manage a team of production editors for a legal publisher in San Francisco.

Besides Cathe's workouts, I hike every day and would like to get back to skiing. I also love doing yoga.

I love to travel, cook, read, and play with my dog.

I've learned more about fitness between this forum and Cathe's workouts than I ever dreamed was possible.

It's great to find out more about everybody!

This is my first post. Just discovered Cathe about 2 months ago and I'm starting to build my library.
I've always had to workout to maintain my shape but I enjoy it. I work out 4-5 days a week during my lunch, take an hour kickboxing class 2 times a week at a Tae Kwon Do Academy and work out at home on weekends. I have a treadmill at home & use free weights.
I love reading everyone's stories, thoughts, comments, etc. Everyone seems to be kind to one another. After all we all want the same thing, to be healthy..right?

Hi! Fun thread. I love to talk about myself.
I am Robin and live in north central PA.

Married 29 years this May to a wonderful, sane, caring man.

I am a Christian and active in my church.

Two kids, 21 year old son with Prader Willi syndrome and 18 year old daughter is a freshman in college (who I hope brings her grades up high enough to become a sophmore).

I am a medical technologist who has worked in the microbiology department for about 26 years.

I started running in college, discovered fitness videos with Jane Fonda and have worked out with Cathe since Step Heat in 1995. Now I almost exclusively use Cathe for cardio and weights.

I love the out of doors, hiking, birdwatching, wild flowers, camping. I love to eat and cook, and have always been (and always will be about 20 pounds over weight).

I consider reading and working out my 2 obsessions (if you don't count chocolate).

I love to travel, although the ability is somewhat limited due to DS's syndrome.

I listen to Jimmy Buffett and whatever DH has on the stereo. I like almost anything except opera and jazz.

I can't imagine ever living in a house without at least 2 cats, and currently have 3.

I have been posting here close to a year, although I lurked for quite a while.

I would love to become a writer someday.

I really value the supportive, intelligent and fun friends I have made here and hope to meet many of you someday.

I wonder if I posted the longest? Like I said, I love to talk about myself.
 
Robin, OT but I just have to tell you that every time I read one of your posts I spend the rest of the day humming Buffett tunes. Usually "Love in the Library" for some reason!! DH and I actually had his music playing in our wedding procession...:D

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ‘Wow - what a ride!’ — Peter Sage
 
Sparrow, Love in the Library is one of my favorites. If I had been a parrothead 29 years ago, I'm sure his music would have been part of the wedding too. Listening to his music always lifts my spirits.
