the story of my username is a bit boring. Camille is my real name, 1585 is for my birthday (jan 15th 1985), the 1 being used both as the month and as the 1 in 15. and Camille1585 is the standard user name I use for everthing. If I had know that I would stick around on this forum (I originally thought I would ask my questions, get my answers, and go on my merry way) I would have used something more creative...Too bad

Wait, if I understand this right,(and I don't mean to pry  ) then Sue is not your real name?? (or else or initials would be SB and not CB!)

Jen, Yup - Royal is my real name. I used to HATE it. Now I kind of think it's cool. It would sound pretty good as a Hybrid grex name too! Maybe one day...

Do you have to follow a strict diet to keep up your physique?

I don't find too many people who spell it the way I do. I had a substitute teacher take note because hers was the same, and I had a girl who worked for me also with the same spelling.
As for the diet and working out. Some time are better than others! I used to lift 4-6 days a week. I also enjoy running and my mountain bike. However, I am also a disabled veteran. Lately I've been having some issues and haven't been able to exercise as much as I'd like. I've put on a few pounds. Oh well, it'll come off when I'm back in the game. I have had periods where I was obsessed with my diet, tracking every calorie and whether they were from protein, fat or carbs. This ususally happens in the spring as soon as I see a bikini in a store! lol But, most of the time I just focus on healthy, natural an un-processed foods. Um.... but I did have pizza for dinner last night

Royal is a nice name, I like it. And it would look cool as a grex!!  I'm used to such names. My grandmother is named Reine (Queen in French) and her 3 sisters were named after royalty (Bernadette, Marie-Antoinette and Marie-Louise). Their parents must have had big plans for them!

Cool Thread!
My name is Christine and my Mom was French and always called me Kiki when I was growing up. She said it was a nickname for Christine in French. I don't speak French, so I don't really know, but that is how I got this nickname. A lady in the neighborhood always called me kiki-do cause I always wanted to be doing something (in my good ol energetic days).
And my favorite drink is a sea breeze!  |
