I take back every bad thing I’ve ever said about my husband
Okay, maybe not EVERY bad thing, but most of them! He did the BEST thing today!! He got BOTH of us gym memberships!!! We have talked about it in the past, but never did anything about it. This afternoon he went and got us memberships and then went and bought me an IPOD since he wants his MP3 player back!! YAY!!! So now I have a place to run if it is raining (which it will be soon since hurricane season starts tomorrow) AND a place to do some weight training. I want to get rid of these chicken wings that have taken the place of my arms. I have never had a problem wearing tank tops until this year. I have the boobs, but my arms have dissappointed me this year. All flabby. Which is sad. I mean, I carry my kids around and do all sorts of stuff, but they are flabby flabby flabby. Blah… I want to become a HARD BODY. At least in the arms.
So… here’s what happened at the party. I was STARVING. I hadn’t eaten since breakfast and it was almost 3 when we finally ate. Jase’s friend’s mom had made turkey burgers with jalapenos, red peppers, and cheddar cheese in them! YUM!!! I ate one with a whole wheat bun. The cheese made the burger not core, but I don’t think there was enough in it to even equal 1 point, so I am going to say the burgers are core. The bun - obviously not. Corn on the cob - core. The butter not so much. And LOTS AND LOTS of watermelon - core. I did have a piece of double chocolate pie **blush** but it was a small peice and it was SO good!!! I am still proud of myself for what I ate. It could have been a lot worse.
I did go running when I got home. Started week 2. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be (and a whole lot easier than when I did it last week by accident) On the running parts I kept listening to the beat of the music and saying “push”, “push”, “push.” It seemed to help.
I ate a few bites of dinner when I got home and cleaned up. Leftovers from last night. I wanted something sweet afterwards, but instead of eating a peice of cake that was sent home, I ate some watermelon that was sent home.

Yeah, I was a huge skeptic of the “running is addictive” claim at the beginning, but I can see it now.
Your hubby is wonderful!

Wow. Is your hubby an active type of person or is this a recent type of thing for him? My husband supports me by listening about my aches and pains and not tempting me with food (and not saying a word about my $140 shoes), but is not interested at all in making my lifestyle changes his own. Oh well.
that burger sounds yummmy! The more I cut back on bad stuff, the more I want hot peppers.
Good for you on week 2!

I don’t know if I’d say hubby is an “active” person. Due to a severe leg break several years ago, he has put on quite a bit of weight. I think him watching me try to do this has given him some motivation. Not to mention the fact he’s taken up scuba diving over the past year and probably wants to get in better shape for that. I’m not complaining though.
