Behold!

Behold Kale Mountain at Sanwa!

I'm not sure what to write tonight other than I wish I wrote my post sooner when my brain worked. My wrists are really hurting from playing tennis yesterday then moving heavy nutrients around at work. They really need some r&r. In the morning I think I'll do some Just Dance instead of the elliptical like yesterday and this morning. 

Alex and I are both doing well with keeping up with activity levels and working out. Now we re working on incorporating healthier more veggie rich meals. I bought a ton of fruit so we could do smoothies/juices for lunch during the week. Tonight for dinner I made mung beans with corn, quinoa, and Okra. Alex complained that I served him balls. End of story. 

I Am a Kitty, a Very Active Kitty

So I'm still awful at tennis. Alex and I went to play on campus and it went okay. We had fun and it's nice to be outside with him-- it's also nice to have an option other than the bicycle (give my knees a break). When we were bicycling back home from the tennis courts I realized that we still haven't made it to the pool since the start of  "summer". I think it's because we want to get out and stretch our legs. Since neither of us are swimmers, the pool is a source of relaxation not activity. 

I'm excited to say that I've been doing awesome with my workouts and activities. I told you about Soulful Yoga but I don't believe I talked about Muscle Madness. I kicked my own butt and did moves I didn't know I could do. Yesterday Alex and I went for our usual route bike ride (7 miles). Today was elliptical in the morning before work and then tennis when I got home. 

I must express how happy I am at the level of activity both Alex and I have been exhibiting this past week. I know I said before that the cosplay craftiness was helping our relationship but I definitely think that working out and doing physical activities together really makes a difference. I feel like this is why he and I work so well together; be both like to be active and do research but we have differences that make us interesting to each other. I can't imagine being partnered with anyone else for my life.
