Before After

Just need to get it out!!

Alright, today was good day, though ny TOM should be visiting soon and no matter what I do, I still feel very bloated. Now, to the point.  To better know my relationship with my husband, let me tell you a few things.  We have been together for 12 years-since high school, he is the love of my life.  But if you are married then you will understand, sometimes I just want to knock his head off.  He is a morning person & sings in the shower, me... I need atleast 2 hours to wake up- of course his chipper morning attitude really grates my nerves!!  We are very loving and understanding, and we get along great the majority of the time.

A major plus is that I have finally gotten him on the treadmill, and he is starting to eat a little better.  He really wants to lose 40 pounds, and get his Hypertension and Cholesterol down. I am really proud of him!!

However, and this may be weird to say... I enjoy my workouts and my yoga time... it's my "ME" time, and for some strange reason I feel intimidated by him.  He starts in on how I should run on the treadmill not walk, and how I should do it in the morning because it burns more calories, and he always interupts my workouts - and thinks it's funny.  I have told him and told him to please let me have my time to myself, and that when I am ready to fill him in on how much I have lost I will, and usually I will tell him about every 2 weeks how much I am down.  Maybe it's because I am overweight, and I just feel embarrassed by it and talking about it with him.  In the past when he has done this I have just quit doing what i was doing, but not this time.  I am on a roll! Don't get me wrong I am not blaming him for anything, and I know that he is trying to give me the best advice because he cares, and I as I sit here and type this I am thinking to myself "what the hell am I complaining about?"  I dont think men understand what women go through everyday with work, the kids, bills, cleaning, cooking, extra cirriculary activies, etc, plus being wifey, and finding time for yourself!!  Is it too much to ask for a little time to get my big butt on the treadmill in peace?

Anyway, just needed to vent. 

By the way, I did some yoga this morning, and walked on the treadmill for 30 min. at 3.2mph the whole time!!!! WOOOO WOOOO!!! ( and I did it in silence, because the hubbie went up town)!!!!

Take care, hope all is well with everyone!!!

Lots of love,

Kami

Amen sister!

Just trying to go for a walk is a struggle for me.  The first question my husband asks is if I am going to take the kids.  "NO"  I have an 8 yr old and a 1 yr old, by the time I get them ready to leave, I changed my mind and don't even want to go.  I know that sounds selfish and I could find ways to make it fun for everyone, but it is a struggle for me to walk and distance without adding a wagon or stroller and listening to the 8 yr old whine because he is bored. 

I am like you......I want some me time!

Thanks for the kind words,

Janie

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN!!!!

When I diet my husband always looses more than I do!  I know he doesn't mean to gloat but he just can't help it!  I find it very discouraging and I too give up and blame him.  This time I'm already preparing to congratulate him and then IGNORE HIM! lol  (One does what one needs to do.)

Have a great 4th.
