A Date

Jeff and I recently went on a date to celebrate the end of our diet and he wanted to thank me for all my hard work helping him to lose 10 lbs in two weeks. He got his waist down to 32 1/2, and all told he scored an excellent on his fitness test.

I got to pick the restaurant and I picked a little hole in the wall in the downtown area. I had my very first Po'Boy sandwich, fried catfish no less. It was very good and reasonably priced. We then took a little walk down to the beach through the downtown. It is so much more fun to walk than to drive, we saw so many more details. We got ate alive by the gnats too. I never knew gnats bit until I moved here, they are the scourge of the earth. Lily and I spend a great deal of time outside and we both have a great deal of bites to prove it.

After our walk we went to a smoothie place. Jeff and I make our own smoothies all the time but I have never had a commercially prepared smoothie. I think the smoothie craze must have started while we were out of the country. Can I just say wow. I had pineapple and coconut, Jeff had strawberry. It was phenomenal. We then browsed the local Walmart trying to decide how we are going to decorate our front yard. I tend to kill everything I plant so I am looking for a non living type decoration. We are leaning toward a stone alligator. We were home from our date by 8PM.

While we may not seem like the most exciting people you have ever met in your life, I had a lot of fun. Notice that we took a long walk, we are trying to incorporate healthy living ideas into our non diet lives. I don't know if a fried catfish po'boy counts as healthy but it was good.
