Today Christi and I took a day to just relax and enjoy ourselves. We did fix the frame (almost) that fell but have to wait 24 hours for the glue to settle and then get a new piece of glass for it. Other than that today was very low-key. We fixed our first meal together for just the two of us (this weekend we cooked, but it was for our family.) Our meal wasn't anything fancy - bacon cheese burgers with my special marinade on wheat/whole grain buns and some organic French fries (very low calories, fat, and sodium.) We've been trying to eat healthy and stay active. We've found a lot of products that are great substitutes for those foods you crave when you diet (the fries, for example.) The fries are very tasty. A few notes: 1. We've also found that organic does not always equal healthy, so make sure you check the content table. 2. The organic food doesn't always taste like you think - sometimes it's not very good, so don't get discouraged.
Back to the meal. The bacon we used is also better for you than 'normal' bacon, but it's still bacon so moderation is best (1 slice.) We had been eating turkey bacon but Kroger did not have any - that we could find anyway. If you are curious what brand of fries we use, just post a request in the comments and I'll be happy to let you know. Also, if you have any recipes that you would like to share, please post that as well!
After dinner we lounged around for a minute, then proceeded outside to kick the soccer ball. It was a beautiful day - not too hot or muggy. Since I had just cut the grass on Saturday, the yard was great to run around in and goof off with each other. I also found out how bad my left foot has gotten since I haven't played competitive soccer in almost 2 years. Playing out there today made me want to get back into playing. I know there are some leagues around here and I am planning on calling a few old coaches to see if they know of any teams in need of players.
Anyway, back to the day. When we got done playing outside we decided to watch TV and/or a movie, which is what we are about to do now once I get done with this post and make us some fruit smoothies. It's time for me to go. That's all for now.

You should have commented on my "how you work out" blog. Soccer is fun!
I should have. It's something I haven't done in a while but we plan to start doing more things like this now that we are 'settled' into a place instead of constantly moving around.
