Blake and Sarah's Diary
I figured I'd start a diary for me and Sarah (steadfast_minx), since we're both working out and eating better together. I'm just trying to be supportive, but I think she's doing better than I am!
She started a special Curves diet online a few days ago. She can print off a grocery list of everything we need and then print of a list of recipes for every meal and snack. I helped cook a few of the meals, and I'm definitely not a cook! My cooking experience usually just extends to grilling, microwaving, and making "complete meals" But it was fun to do some real cooking. I made some fruit/cereal bars and some really good vegetable soup from scratch. Usually my vegetable soup comes from can.
Tonight, we went and played tennis, and by "played" I mean we ran around and chased flying balls.
But it was really fun and we both worked up a sweat. We probably played for about 45 minutes and then walked a half mile, jogged a quarter mile, and then walked another mile. We usually walk a mile about once a week, but hopefully we'll be able to get in the habit of jogging more.
I think we're going to try to play tennis again tomorrow night, so that should be fun. Maybe we'll actually get to hit the ball back and forth more than a few times in a row!
I'm so proud of Sarah for making an effort, and I'm glad she's letting me be a part of it. I need to get in shape too. I don't want to lose any weight, but I could definitely use SOME muscles. I'm so not athletic.

Anyway, I am a little frustrated today because I worked out 5 times last week and I have been working really hard on my diet. I know that it happens, but it is still frustrating.
