Tennis

I am back after a tennis match early this morning, a match in which I was eventually outslugged 6-2, 2-6, 2-6 in 1 hour and 30 mins. This is also my third straight loss after just one win against the same opponent. But on the positive side I'm starting to feel good about my game a little bit and believing in it.

In the first set I jumped to a 5-0 lead, then I lost two strainght games , before eventually closing it out at 6-2. The second and third sets were pretty bad as I managed to win only my first and last service games, eventually losing the match. My opponent is a slow starter, but his first serve percentage keeps improving as the game progresses and he makes fewer unforced errors than me.

Tennis on Sundays is also my workout for the day, very rarely do I head to the gym on sundays.
My personal trainer, Chad (well I got a two session complementry service- cant afford to hire him cos he costs $30 an session!) was telling me what kind of diet I shoud l maintain.
Chad was one of the trainers who has previously worked with Richard Hamilton.

Richard Hamilton is an NBA player who represents the Detriot Pistons, This guy puts in more miles than a marathoner, more miles on court than any other NBA player. So the reason they say is his fitness regime and a totally organic vegetarian diet. Another celebrity who is now following a similar diet is Andre 3000 of the Grammy award winning group Outkast.

Now back to the vegan diet Chad was talking to me about:
Bread, Cereal and Grain Group: 6-11 servings daily
Vegetable Group: 3-5 servings daily
Fruit Group: 2-4 servings daily
Milk, Yogurt, Cheese Group: 2-3 servings daily
Dry Beans, Nuts, Seeds, Meat Substitutes: 2-3 servings daily
Fats, Oils, Sweets, Salty Foods: Use sparingly
and always- "Breakfast like a King, Lunch like a Prince and dinner like Peasant."

Thanks Chad!
