So are we in this together?

My husband at dinner last night made the grandiose statement of "okay enough is enough , I need to get back in shape". I have heard him say he was getting back in shape a dozen times all with no results. He was always chubby and I have to admit that I kind like a chubby guy. Alas I was excited to hear this news because I know that doing the weight loss thing alone has been a failure and in all honesty I am kinda hoping that it can only improve our sex life..right? If I have a partner, my husband by my side admonishing each other during this journey I think we may very well have lasting results. So he has committed to using that much neglected gym membership and I saw him pack his gym clothes while getting ready this morning. I have not decided what I am going to do for an exercise routine but I know I have a slew of DVDs collecting dust. We both can no longer use the excuse of baby weight because well... hes not a little baby any more and it was a cope out originally anyways. So wish us luck as we keep each other in line, encourage each other when we are too tired to push it for 30 more minutes and giving each other the side eye when we reach for some cookies at 10 pm.

  1. Good Luck!!! I went on a 90 day diet in February and lost 30 lbs, but I can not seem to get back on the boat. Partially I think it was just to gruesome a diet that I don't really want to starve myself again. I could have eaten like 1300 calories on it but i chose to eat only 1000 while nursing. Big NO NO!!! But maybe if you can get the gumption I can too!

  2. Good luck! It is so helpful when you both are in it together. The husband and I did great pre-baby at helping to push each other, but now we're just pathetic. Wishing you two lots of luck. =)

  4. That's great! My husband has been a huge supporter and it's great for our marriage to encourage each other to stay in shape. He's awesome at positive reinforcement and that's been huge for me.
