mathyogi Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 hi, i'm new. i'm happy to find this group. i've been vegan for 2 1/2 years, and vegetarian most of my life. it's nice to find other active, healthy vegans. i'm into yoga and meditation, rock climbing and hiking. i don't bodybuild, but i'm a pretty active, athletic vegan. it's nice to see people defying the stereotype of the overly skinny, undernourished vegan (which isn't true anyway, but the myths continue). i'm a math grad student in colo. springs working on a ph.d. in math. i have 2 cats and a puppy that recently died.

loveliberate Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 true, there are a whole lot of mtn. here. i live by cheyenne canyon, so over by cheyenne mtn., in the southwest part of town. it's called "ivywild". did you used to live here? did you go to UCCS? Thats a decent drive over to UCCS from that part of town. Yes, I've lived in the Springs off and on over the years. I moved around a good bit so I've lived in several parts of town plus Manitou. I dont think I ever any went on to the UCCS campus though... The folks I knew who went to college in the Springs went to either CC or PPCC.

loveliberate Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Mathyogi, I recently "met" anouther CS vegan on the Food Fight! forums who's looking to meet other vegans in the Springs. If you're interested in meeting her, please PM me with a way for her to contact you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathyogi Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 oh wow, that's awesome. i'd love to meet her! there is such a lack of vegans in this town, which you know since you've lived here before. she can email me at [email protected]. oh, i used to live in manitou, also.

loveliberate Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 The other persons email address wasn't in the body of the email but should have been on the same line as yours - let me know if it wasnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
