Picture from this game this weekend. I must say this is probably my new favorite picture of myself (especially how awesome my clavicle looks).
Seriously this weekend was great and I’ll blog about it more later, but in short I have never felt more desirable than I did this weekend.
Innnnnterestingly enough I wasn’t feeling Mr. Navy Lawyer despite his advances. However the gentleman I went out with yesterday from OKC I was feeling and he was digging me too.
I’m pretty much high on life right now.
Just went out on a glorious 5 mile run in 67 degree weather. God bless Alabama in the fall. Today was the first day that I truly tasted Autumn in the air.
Now if you will excuse me I have to get ready and meet up with Mr. Navy Lawyer to say goodbye and then regroup for a date with a different fellow this afternoon!
Mr. Navy Lawyer is here and this was pretty much his reaction….
According to sources he kept his eyes on me the whole time I was across the room talking to someone else. Also he totally eyed the flowers that are on my desk – he doesn’t need to know they came from a girl! This weekend is going to be interesting for sure 😉
This weekend I am seeing an old flame.
He is the guy who has ALWAYS made me feel like the most beautiful girl in any room.
I’ve know him for over 4 years, but our lives rarely cross paths. Him and I have flip flopped living in parts of the country practically since I met him. We lived in the same place for 10 weeks and we dated for about 5 of them, other than that I’ve seen him 4 other times.
Well he is going to be in town this weekend. It’s been just over a year since I saw him last, which was also pretty much when I was my heaviest. However when I MET him back in Summer ‘06 I was also around my heaviest. He seems to lust after like me at any size.
He is a guy that has a lot going for him. He is a lawyer. For the Navy. In addition to be tall, cute and blonde, verrrry blonde – to the point that my friends call him “doll hair” (despite not seeing him often he actually has met my best friend and my sister). Both of which find him cocky and bit smug (the same thing could be said about me at times), but I like a good cocky/confident combination.
I have mixed emotions about this weekend. I mean I’m going to LOVE flaunting my trim body, cute new clothes and awesome haircut. And since he is a Navy JAG he actually has toned up from basic training as well as far as I can tell via Facebook.
He’s someone I don’t keep up with on a regular basis, but we always seem to keep tabs on one another. When we do see eachother we pick up right where we left off, we get along really well, always laugh and have tons to talk about. I just always keep my guard up with him because I know how infrequently our paths cross and how devastated I was when I moved away. Whenever I see him I try to have no expectations of how things will go and try to have fun and just go with the flow of things.
I’m nervous, anxious and excited!
Thanks everyone for your kind words. A friend IRL saw a sad tweet of mine in reference to my dad and she later came to my office with 3 beautiful ORANGE Gerber Daisies, so sweet!
I feel so blessed to surround myself with wonderful people from real life to tumblr and everywhere in between.
One phrase that southerns say (especially my darling little southern sorority girls) is “love on.” Sample sentence: “I want to be an orientation leader and just love on all the freshmen.” I always find it to be an awkward, but cute sentiment. Well yesterday I have to say I was overwhelmed by all the “likes” and comments that had you all loving on me!
I just wanted to share myself with you guys, take down a silly wall between us. It honestly feels very liberating (yes still a tad scary, but I’ll stick with liberating). I didn’t post the vlog or my face to fish compliments, but I will certainly take them happily!
I should also note that Mr. 365 OF COURSE asked if he could post duel before and afters of us. I KNEW he would (I actually wasn’t sure if he’d ask or just post them, I’m glad he asked). I not ready yet to show my former pudge face – which honestly is a face I barely recgonize anymore, but soon my pets…soon. 😛

hello hottie 🙂
I had a great time with the professor yesterday – I find him fascinating and stimulating and intimidating and charming and I’m pretty sure he also finds me to be those things. It’s just so interesting to see my love life meet my weight loss life. Lots of insecurities and excitement at the same time. I have a lot on my mind today.
This quote from a fellow fitblr that I saved comes to mind:
“There’s a reconditioning of your brain from fat-girl to fit-girl, to believing in what you can and have accomplished, and not psyching yourself out about it all.”
It also doesn’t help that I’m like an emotional cripple with mental problems and unresolved daddy issues. Being vulnerable is not really my scene – I have lots of walls I highly guard and being fat helped keep people away. Then I get mad about how it took losing nearly 40 pounds for people to take notice. Then at the same time I’m like well being thinner could allow me to cast a wider net and why settle first fish that I catch. God I’m a bitch. I don’t even know what I want…I’m such a mess. I need to stop thinking and just live and let be, but it’s so much easier said than done.
Heading out for drinks with the professor and I’m not gonna lie I look really freakin’ gooooood!
Just a little update for those of you who care about my love life.
I have been messaging with the professor all week and am going out with him on Sunday. We both also have football tickets in the faculty/staff section so there is a slim chance I see him tomorrow also.
In other news I texted Bachelor #1 yesterday despite his random “keep in touch text” because I mean I have NOTHING TO LOSE:
Me: Hey, I went to the new pub downtown it’s pretty cool. Let me know if you want to go check it out next week.
#2: I would love to, the only problem is I’m on the road till the 20th of Sept. I’ll give you a shout when I return for sure. Sorry I suck.
Innnnnnteresting. So the ball is in his court…
3 is my favoriter number and I must say Bachelor #3 did not disappoint.
Bachelor #3 is the 36 year old english professor. I met him 2 weeks ago out when I was invited by one of my friends from my improv group for drinks. My friend is also an english professor and she was out at a little jazz bar with like 10 other professors from the english and theatre department. Well it turns out #3 was sitting next to my friend and he offered me his seat and sat on the booth side of the table since I only knew my friend. Had a great night talking to everyone that night, but was very intrigued/intimidated by #3. Well the end of the night comes and goes with group goodbyes. I in turn look him up on facebook, but don’t do anything about it. Well the next day he friends me which leads to facebook posts/messages and a date.
I was excited all day yesterday because I knew if nothing else it would be stellar conversation. He did not disappoint. Lots of fun and flirtation. He is very much a grown up and confident about who he is. I guess that comes with age. The funny thing about #3 is that he is totally a geek-chic hipster which is SO NOT MY SCENE. However I guess there are exceptions to every rule. He also was sporting a beard which I was a fan of.
I should also mention he was beyond enamored with me. He even went in for the kill with a good night kiss(es?!) – no hesitation he walked me to my car and just went for it. Bold. Bold my friend. I like your style.
I’m gonna leave this post short and sweet…
