So back in December, the week before New Years, I went to my weight watchers meeting and it was packed with people who were trying to get in to start their new years resolutions early. My normal spot where I sit was occupied so I sat across the room in an empty row. In front of me, there were also about 20 seats open. In walked this gorgeous guy, why he was there to lose weight is beyond me because he looked hot. He walked in, dressed in his PT uniform (so obviously military), signed in, and looked around the room and sat down in the seat right next to me. Why right next to me, I have no idea. There were plenty of seats in front of me, and to the side, but he chose the seat right next to me. We started talking (aka, flirting) with one another, and I left for the evening. The next week I was bound and determined to flirt some more with him. But he didn't stay for the meeting and left after weigh in. I was super disappointed. In preparation for the third week, in my purse I put a piece of paper with my name and number on it so I could just easily hand it to him. But bad part was....he never showed up to the meeting, and hasn't been back since.
I was so disappointed. Sometimes, depending on my time schedule and if my friend Chante is gonna work out with me, I go to the gym on Ft. Bliss. I really like it a lot because it's like a brand new state of the art gym, has an indoor track to run on and really nice equipment. On Monday night, my friend Chante and I were getting our skinny on in the gym, and I had to leave by 6:30pm to be somewhere. Chante was gonna stay to watch her husband play basketball downstairs, and as we were walking down the stairs, I asked her if she wanted me to walk her to the basketball courts, and she told me no, don't worry about it, to go ahead and leave. So I did.
Now, I may be exaggerating slightly, but the walk from the gym on Ft. Bliss to the parking lot seems like a good 3 mile hike. NO JOKE!!! I always say that I walk 3 miles in, do my workout, and 3 miles out. So as I was going on my 3 mile hike to my car, I was busy on my phone following up on a few emails and reading facebook. I passed this guy that looked really familiar but couldn't place him, and he turned around and said "Hey don't I know you?" I turned around, looked at him, and realized exactly who it was. It was the guy from my weight watchers meeting that was stinking HOTTTT!!!!
There was a lot of people walking the 3 mile hike pathway, so we moved to the side and started talking, catching up. He was telling me he had been out in the field for a while and was catching up with the weight loss thing. I told him that I was gonna give him my number to see if he ever needed help with WW, or if he needed a workout buddy but he never ended up showing up again. We exchanged numbers, and went on our way.
Later that night he texted me telling me that he forgot to tell me earlier that I am looking really good. I told him thanks and that I had to admit something to him, that I had a huge crush on him. He replied saying he figured as much, and that I am cute, but that he was married :(((((((....UGHHHHHH
I was busy doing something at the time and couldn't reply back but told him that I understood and have a good night. The next morning (yesterday), he texted me telling me to have a good day. I was like why are you texting me if you are married. He said he would really like to have a workout buddy, and that although he is married, he wanted to make sure he was completely honest and upfront about that fact, but he is also going through a divorce. Now, I am not completely sure about the whole situation or details because we didn't really get into it because to me that would be an in person conversation, but hey, in the process of him getting a divorce we could develop a really good friendship and work out together, and then see where it takes us.
I had gotten off work early yesterday and went to the gym on Ft. Bliss before my weight watchers meeting last night and I had texted him to see if he was able to go with me. He was still stuck at work but was trying to get out as soon as possible. I tried to extend my workout as long as possible so that I could see him, and he had texted me just as I was wrapping up my workout and said he was just getting to the gym. I told him I was on my way down and would meet him in the parking lot. We met up, and talked for about 20 minutes just about our back stories, etc. It was really nice.
Now to see where this might take me...I am excited, but I know he is married and not letting myself forget that, and also wanting to know more details....
So I weighed in last night and am officially at 65lbs total lost. It's exciting. Even more so, I was looking through my purse today trying to find a receipt tag for some clothes I had dropped off at the tailor to get altered so that I could go pick up the rest of them, and I stumbled upon my bucket list. I created this bucket list about 7 years ago, and I have been able to cross a few things off it, but I was able today to cross off almost 6 things. One of which was to lose 50lbs...I was so happy with myself that I was not only able to cross that off, but also exceeded that, and that was a goal I put on there and could never imagine seeing myself obtain. It was such a great feeling!
Until next time!
