about me

hey guys and gals.  this is my blog and this is me:

my name is crystal.  i graduated from college in 2008 and started my first “real world” job soon thereafter.  outside of saying that i’m an event planner, you won’t find me talking much about my job.  it IS an important part of my life though….unfortunately, not in a way that’s conducive to leading a healthy lifestyle!  i have a typical desk job, so the only activity i get at work is walking to and from the restroom

i try to counteract my slothness by going to the gym and exercising outside. currently, my favorite workouts are a trifecta of running, power vinyasa yoga, and weight lifting.  i lift about twice a week, run once or twice a week and do yoga when i have the time.  so far, i’ve been able to take off most of the weight i gained during college and then some! yay

here’s a closer look in to my personal life: i’ve got a wonderful boyfriend, jeremy.

we’ve been dating since may 2007…so almost 3.5 years.  we live together in charlottesville, virginia and we’ve got two cats, jinx and biggie smalls.  eventually, we’ll get a dog once we move to a different place

somehow, i convinced jeremy to get a gym membership and nowadays we’ll occasionally go workout together he indulges me and refers to me as his personal trainer

i’m a vegetarian, and jeremy’s not. he’s great about making substitutions when we eat out and cooking foods that I can eat as well.  most of the time, that means just cooking one meal and not two separate meals.

that’s me in a nutshell i’m sure you’ll find out more as time goes along!

e-mail me at chippednailsandall at gmail dot com; I’d love to hear from you!

peace and love

Crystal
