I am now delighted to be back here. I still live in Paris, but am now divorced and sharing my place with two lovely cats. I have left my previous job (I had been working there since 1998) and am planning to return to being a psychologist (I am a licenced clinical psychologist, now training in hypnotherapy). So many things have changed!

I have fallen off the fitness wagon, but I now want to live more healthily.
My VCR is broken, so I have repurchased or converted some of my favorite workouts on DVD (Cory's GHAS, David Dorian Ross AM Chi, Callanetics, Ali McGraw Yoga, Yoga Zone Conditioning and Stress Relief, Lotte Berk Method, ...).

I have purchased some new workouts (mainly ballet barre). I never did any high impact and am not planning to do any now, but I am looking forward to incorporating weight training and kickboxing in my routine soon.

I have always disliked complex choreography (though I am a bellydancer) but there's one (uncomplex) video I have repurchased on DVD for pure fun : Kathy Smith's Latin workout.

Not planning on buying too much : I am a student again, living on a student budget (simple living is where it's at

+ have to be careful with clutter, my living space is very small.

Looking forward to reconnecting with other old-timers and also meeting the newer VFers

Ooooh it's so exciting to hear back from you all, Jane, Susan, Sandi, Abbe, Alta, ... I remember you all and I am delighted to be back

Jennifer (I remember your avatar

thank you for the kind offer, I will definitely keep it in mind, and I will have VHSs of my own to offer in the coming weeks / months (did I mention I was decluttering?)

I am thinking of starting a check-in thread about out of shape frugal VFers who mostly do old workouts ... Anyone interested ?
