Introduction Text MY PANTHER BEST PROMISE Every day I’ll do my best, And put myself to the test. My work will always please me, And I won’t settle for less. I’ll workout very carefully, My form ever so neat. And I simply won’t be happy, Until all of them are complete. I’ll always do my paperwork, And all weekly challenges too.. And try to do everything posted, Even if it is hard and only a few.. And I won’t forget my promise, To do my PANTHER BEST! IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED BY NOW, I LOVE TO CREATE AND TO MOTIVATE. I TRY TO ADDRESS EVERY CHALLENGE AND SITUATION WITH A "Pouncer" OR "JR" ILLUSTRATION. I DO HOPE YOU ENJOY THEM. Hi, my name is Cathe' -- pronounced Kath-Ay. ( my name rhymes with Ole' and Cafe' IF you're saying it correctly). I am a retired TV & Film Studio Executive that is very happy to be alive, walking and talking. In 2005 I had brain surgery to remove a pituitary tumor that was affecting my hypothalamus, vision and my entire endocrine system. Can you say side effects?!? I went from my regular healthy 132 weight and size since high school to a bloated, cellulite, fat and out-of-shape 200 in a matter of months. Doctors have tried everything in their bags and yet I am still fat, exhausted and a little bit miffed at them because my regrowing tumor is not URGENT! Unfortunately add a 2-story elevator accident that I was part of and voila I have permanent right-side chronic pain for the rest of my life. Yes, I take the stairs everywhere I go now! I now only need to lose 25 more pounds to reach my goal weight! Enough of the negativity...I can pay for that at the doctor's office. LOL I usually am a very positive and somewhat humorous person that loves and takes care of her Mother who just happens to be my Best Friend too. I am a pet parent to Adobe who I rescued after I put my 13 year old Punky to sleep. So far I love all of the good people I've met on SP. I wish I could say that I've lost weight, however my brain tumor is fighting these attempts and acutually putting on more weight than I could ever get off. Thanks for visiting me and reading all the way through to the end of this intro.
