Late intro...=)

[bakogymrat]

So, I live in Central Cali.

I am not an MMA expert, just a huge fan. I think Urijah Faber is the MAN!

I would eventually like to be a figure competitor (you know the prettier side of muscle), but I am in the midst of finishing up school for my special education teaching credential. Once I have my credential, I will not have to attend classes in the evening (I work full-time in addition to going to school), and I can concentrate on building my puny body into a hot little house of muscle.

I like to hear others' comments, suggestions, and ideas; so, let me know if you have anything to share.
Peace!

First of all, hats off to you for becoming a teacher. Especially special education. Good luck to you with school.

Second, yes Urijah is the MAN! I don't fight MMA either, but love watching it.

Anyway, seen lots of your post, glad you finally introduced yourself. :)

Yes yes, I have putting this off as well,not sure i'd even use this forum ...but I have been!
Like the rest of you I am a huge MMA fan..(Urijahs my fav):rolleyes:...luv it...but have not participated...always thought about trying boxing or judo ..or wrestling..etc...but alot of other priorities and hobbies too...one of these days ...it's on my list!:D! ;)
So I am from British Columbia Canada, I enjoy ALOT of different activities, mostly outdoor and athletic related such as hiking,hunting,biking,quadding,snowmobiling,hockey ,snowboarding,cross-country skiing,horses,hotrods, running....phew :eek:... to name a few, and of course one of my favorite indoor activities of bodybuilding and fitness. Lucky for me my job is in the forest industry so I get alot of physical and outdoor time at work too. Add family time to that...don't know where i'd fit the mma in..haha, so I just enjoy watching it for now!!
I am luvin meeting new people with similar interests!!

Welcome Jessica. Sounds like you lead a busy life too with all your outdoor activities. Of course, we live in an area perfect for all things outdoors (I'm right outside of Seattle). :)

Welcome Jessica. Sounds like you lead a busy life too with all your outdoor activities. Of course, we live in an area perfect for all things outdoors (I'm right outside of Seattle). :)

I drove to your town a few years ago to watch a Counting Crows Concert on the grass in a local Winery!!! That was a great time!! Small world! Some of my family was raised in Enumclaw Washington too. (Thats close to where Rancy Couture is from...Everette) and I was down there one other time when I picked up an old Camaro to restore....Black Diamand..or one of the bigger towns in that area!
So you guys do lots of outdoors stuff too!! I luv it! If I am not outside...I am training inside...or watching good ol MMA!!! I hiked Mount Ranier once...and biked down it as well...fun!

[Jessica_1979]

I just have to say that I have really enjoyed getting to know you ladies! :D And you guys as well!!;)

[Kimberly]

I have to agree with you Jessica. I was just telling my son how much I liked this site because everyone is so nice and there is no drama. I'm not usually comfortable in forums, but you guys have all made me feel welcome.

[Lisa]

ditto on all of that!!! It has been a blast to be on here. This is my first forum ever, I love it. I was telling my husband about it and he thinks I'm a huge dork I'm sure, because of the way I talk about this. I was telling him how really there's just a handful of of that really talk on here. I like that, it gives us a chance to get to know each other. Plus we'll still have our own little group when this thing gets huge. So thank you guys for being so wonderful!!

[JBNTX]

I like it here because everybody is so friendly and helpful. I didn't sign up to begin with. I just sat back to see what kind of people would be on here. It helped me decide when I saw that I wouldn't be the only girl!

[Lisa]

It's great to have another girl on here! So thanks for deciding to join.
