Good morning campers!
Yup today is gonna be a good day. Me and the OH got things sorted last night, mostly. Still mad at him. But its water under the bridge. Still havent found out who the flowers are from, which i kinda like. Makes me feel.....speciial for want of a better word.
On the "healthy exercide regime" front, things are back on track and raring to go. Last night i had delicious chicken, bacon and onion kebabs, marinated in every spice jar in my cupboards (i'm hopeless when it comes to thinking up new sauces, marinades etc, i tend to just chuck everything in and hope for the best), crushed garlic new potatoes, corn on the cob (with no butter!!!!!!!!!) and loads of green veg. Me and my mate went for a walk with the mutt and walked a total of 5 mile. Which we didnt even realise cause we were gossiping that much.
Whilst we were chatting, we got talking about weight loss and keeping fit etc. She is ex-army so she used to be fit as a fiddle. But since she left the army, and got married, she says she has noticed herself getting bigger. What she told me next shocked the hell out of me. Her husband (idiot! this is one of the many reasons why i dont like him) told her she was getting fat (fair enough, as i have stated in earlier posts, we do need to be told) and that he no longer fancied her
because she had let herself go and was eating too much! And this explains why they havent had any "marital relations" in months. Now, i'm all for encouraging your partner to lose weight, get fit, change whatever they dont like about themselves. But i am not for brow beating someone into being the person you want them to be, rather than they want them to be. Her and her hubby have had a lot of problems since they got married, and she, like any normal girl, has turned to comfort eating. And this is her fault??? I dont effing think so. It really angered me. Our respective loved ones are supposed to love us enough to tell us the truth and love us enough to encourage us, not make us feel like shit. I would kill my OH if he ever said i was too fat for him. I was this way when he met me and i'll be damned if i am gonna change for him. This change is for me and for me only!!!!
So we are gonna start running 3 times a week when we get back from our holidays. And cycling. And walking the dog.. And swimming. Phew, i feel tired just typing all that excercise. But its always more fun exercising with a pal rather than alone (an ipod only counts for so much).
Diet today -
B - Weetabix skimmed milk (i still cant get used to this, i want cream dammit)
L - Weetabix skimmed milk, Tuna and salsa pitta bread ( i have a looooooot of weetabix needs using)
D - Homemade beefburgers, salad and core chips
E - Walking the dog, moving furniture and maybe a spot of Wii action later on
Have a good day whatever you do and remember, this lifestyle change is for you and you only. Dont do it for someone else. Oh and if you have an OH that fully supports you and loves you no matter? Give him an extra squeeze and kiss today because there are some assholes in the world
