Well nothing new is really going on. Brandon’s eye is healing pretty well, they are going to keep the stitches in for as long and they can, so it makes his eye look kind of weird. He can already see better out of his eye than what it was before. His sight should continually get better and can take up to a year, but they don’t know what it will be in the end because they don’t know how well his donor’s vision was. The doctor said it was an excellent tissue, and is hoping that Brandon won’t even need contacts or glasses anymore for that eye!
I am sure a lot of people who have been in a relationship for a long time can relate that after a while of being together you get comfortable and you stop working on how healthy you are being. Then one day you look in the mirror and cant figure out how the heck your body got to the way it is. That is kind of what Brandon and I have been going through so we wanted to start working out and eating right. I am not going to say we are going on a diet because when I think about dieting I get all sad and think about the foods I am missing out on and then I go eat all the fast food I can think of. So, we are going to change our lifestyle!
We joined the Lifetime Fitness Gym (I actually have had my membership for a long time but used him as an excuse not to go) but Brandon finally joined and I am so glad he did. If anyone gets the chance to go to this gym they really should, it seriously is so much fun to work out as a couple and the gym is amazing. Brandon is even a good sport and goes to the classes with me! So far we have done a spin class and the kickboxing class, they both kicked our asses but it was a lot of fun. Brandon also found out that they teach a 7 week ballroom dance class for couples that we are thinking about doing. So far it has been a really fun thing to do together and I hope we stick to it and go as often as we can.
We took “Before” pictures of each other in our bathing suites and I was going to post them but after seeing what I looked like, I decided we are going to wait till we have the after pictures! I hope we stick to our new healthy lifestyle!
