I did it!!!

I played tennis for 90 minutes today and:

  • I did not fall
  • I did not get hurt
  • I did not embarrass myself
  • I lost the first set
  • I won the second sets
  • I did NOT jump over the net to celebrate
  • I came home and jumped in the pool to cool off
  • I did not play very well
  • I did not play too poorly
  • I came home with sore legs
It was a good first try.  I think my partner and I should have won both sets but lost the first 2-6.  We did come back in the second and won 6-1 and were well on our way 3-0 in the third when our playing time was up and actually my body told me that after the first hour!  I played about how I expected but I was surprised at how good my body held up and I did not get very winded.  We will play again Monday and that will be it until next October.
We are in the middle of a very very heavy rain.  All the doors are open and it feels and smells great.  I think it is confirming that the rainy season is here.  Brings me back to the farm and how much fun it was to play in the muddy driveway after a rain.  I never did figure out WHY Dad did not fill in the low spot in our driveway as it always flooded during a rain and would be a mud bath for a time after.  Oh well all the better for me as it was fun to play in.
Now that my body is good enough to play tennis some I should concentrate on my weight.  I need/want to take off a few pounds.  With my eating habits I HAVE to exercise.  Notice I said WITH my eating but I could have said I should cut down on my eating!
Terry watched the big wedding this morning and I did watch some of it.  The royality in England have quit the life.  I think I read that security was the biggest expense as it was in the millions.  I loved the horses in the parade as they went some place after the ceremony.  
I downed my FP before I played tennis this morning.  Enough
