Week 1

This week Jennie and I sat down and talked.  We pulled out the butchers paper and textas.  We had a look at what our strengths are.  We looked at the things we liked and didn't like in our lives.   We prioritised.  We set goals.  And we decided upon actions.

We made commitments to each other,  and wrote down specifics on our calendars.  

This weekend it has all started.

Yesterday we did a fitness test and recorded our baselines for a 1 km run (walk), sit ups, push ups, and stretches.  FOr me  I knew my results would be low.   I wasn't prepared for how low.  And for how that would make me feel.   It feels crap.

But...  after our 10am exercise session I felt good.  And I felt good all day.  I was excited about our planned Double Date Night.  But I don't think it was just that making me feel so good.  


We also had our first double date in a long long time.  We piled the kids into one house.   We got dressed up   (although Jennie was a prude insisted she would not wear Clitter - but used sparkly eyeshadow instead).
We had a 3 course meal. The carrot and parsnip soup worked beautifully dividing orange and white down the bowl.   The crockpot chicken curry was good.  And the lemon custard cakes for dessert were truly divine.

We played the Logo Game, Scattegories and  The Simpson's board game.

We laughed.

And we connected.  As friends, as couples.

Isn't that what life is about?

Love
