OUCH!

As you know we did not get into the gym we wanted, instead found a place to live that also has a gym.  So we hit the gym twice a day, it is not 8 hours a day, only 3 hours.  I tell ya though I am so glad we didn’t go to the kickboxing gym, we would have died!  As it is our muscles are really sore, even after the sauna, steam room and pool!  Can’t wait for the pain to pass, luckily getting a massage here costs about $8 dollars an hour! Not only are we working out but also watching what we eat.  Luckily there is a local cafeteria that has a great selection of different Thai dishes at a great price.  No chopsticks though, but I guess I can always eat with my fingers to make it special. 🙂  While I was eating today a thought crossed my mind about how people in the US or the world can help the economy and safe money.  Instead of eating at home to save money all the time, go out to the restaurants and spend money but do it smartly.  Get just one meal and split between two people.  I mean really have you seen the portions of meals lately! It is plenty of food for two people.  Okay granted it takes some work to figure out what two people will like (complicated if one person is allergic to certain foods), but surely there is something on the menu.  This puts money into the economy and you don’t have to feel like you are sacrificing too much.  Look at me go with my deep thoughts 🙂  Anyway we have been doing well sharing meals, keeps costs down.  Plus getting fruit, juice, tea, honey and bottled water from the supermarket helps keep costs down.  Some of the other deep thoughts we have been having include if we could be superheroes which one would we be, would you rather be a sport star or a movie star, if you could play any intrument what would it be, etc.  Hey we got a lot of time on our hands, what else are we going to do in between working out?!?  We are also learning more about each other for good or bad.  Like today I found out Maryanne doesn’t like apple pie, so didn’t see that coming! Really who doesn’t like apple pie! 

Well another day has ended in paradise, hopefully we can sleep through the soreness! 

Ok Maryanne here I have to comment on the Apple Pie thing. I did not say I did not like apple pie I just said that I prefer berry pies.  I would not throw apple pie away, it just is not my first pick!
