Pictures from last night’s Faculty-Student Basketball Game

In the big group picture I stood next to 2 of the tallest guys and they were like want us to life you up? And I was like OKAY (but my inner fat girl was scared). So they lifted me up and I after a few pictures I was like sorry I’m so heavy and they were like PLEASE. I wish there were most strapping 20 year olds willing to carry me around because I felt like a tiny princess! 

Great first week

I have really enjoyed my first week of Shakeology. They give you tons of combo ideas for your shakes. I’m using the chocolate shake and today I tired OJ, water and the powder MMMMM. Knowing that I just need to throw a few easy things in the blender to make the shake has taken time off my morning routine. 

I also got the t25 workouts that my friend wants to buy, but I’m doing a trial of for 2 weeks. I am actually REALLY loving the videos. It is hard work, but I enjoy it A LOT more than Insanity. Plus T25 offers modified options which help since I “create” some of my own modified options for Insanity which makes me worried about not working as hard or injuring myself. 

Like I said last week, eating right and working out just makes me feel SO good. Smooching with my new beau also adds to the overall feel good mood 🙂

More on my fella

Since curious minds want to know and since when do I keep secrets from tumblr? I figure I’d fill you in…

I met Greg through OKC. I actually had been taking a break from online dating and was going to deactivate my OKC (I actually had bought a living social deal to try match for a month that I was going to activate), but the day after Ragnar I logged into OKC just to see what was in there before closing it down. Well Greg was in there. Just from his profile I saw we had a lot in common, which led to a few messages before we started talking on gchat.

We had such good back and forth on gchat and made plans to go to a Caps (NHL Hockey Game) on the 19th. I was nervous, but excited. He was nervous too, it’s cute looking back. But we clicked very quickly and following that first date I saw him Tues and Thurs that week. We’ve actually made playing trivia on Tuesdays a “thing.” The first week we came in 2nd to last and the second week we came in 2nd overall!

He was on a pre-planned vacation/cruise Nov 1-9th, but we e-mailed and I even got a phone call. Distance actually made the heart grow fonder (as CHEESY as that is and I swear being gooey and cheesy is NOT me). 

Saturday he pretty much flew home dropped off his luggage and met me out that night for the alumni game watch party I was hosting. We spent the whole weekend together. Saturday night he officially asked me to be his girlfriend. We went out to some VA vineyards on Sunday for a beautiful autumn Sunday Funday and even brought the dog (who is a fan of Greg). We are playing trivia tonight and have plans to win – oh and our trivia team name is “Slap Bet” since we are both big How I Met Your Mother Fans!

PS – He lives like 3 miles away and the funniest part is that his parents like like a mile from me. We also have a few weird things in common (pertaining to our exes) – both, but more on that another time.
