Go, Hubby, Go!!!!

I'm silently cheering for my hubby today...silently because he doesn't know I am chering for him. By now you should all know that I try really hard at working out. But I always fall short when it comes to the diet part of diet and exercise. I have lost around 30 pounds in the last 10 months or so of trying, but most of that was in the first few months and i've been on a huge plataue ever since. I know it's because I don't eat well....and I try.....but I always fall back into the same patterens. My trainer doesn't really even talk to me much about nutrition anymore because I think he thinks it is falling on deaf ears, or ears that don't want to listen....or ears that hear every word, have every good intention, but just dont follow through! Yeah, that's it!

So anyway, I try to blame my poor eating on my hubby and kids. But I buy all the grocrieries, I do the cooking...it's the times i'm busy or tired, or whateever that the little voices (not ones in my head, ones from my family) say "Let's just get pizza, or Chinese", or whatever thing that I should not eat, but it sounds so good, and I have no will power to say no.

So last night the kids were in bed, finially, and the hubby and I were watching TV. We were watching a show called something like "650 pound virgin"...it was about a guy that was 650 pounds, then lost a ton of weight, just with diet and exercise, no surgery (except to remove skin). And now he is looking for love. It was a good show. So the hubby get's up during a commercial and goes to the kitchen. I know there is ice cream, and leftover birthday cake (it was just my daughters 5th b-day) so I am steling myself to say no when he asks if I want some too, and I give myself the ok to have one bite of his...and while all this is going on in my head...he comes back to the living room with a bowl of grapes and pineapple chunks!!!!! I was so proud of him!! And I shared a few of his grapes....but I didn't say anything....I didn't make a big deal......But I am proud!! Now I don't know what he is eating today at work (probably nothing, he usually skips breakfast and lunch...bad bad bad!) but maybe this is a new healthy trend he is going to try to stick with! And I will support him 100% because all I have been hoping for is support from him. So now maybe, finally, we can do this together!
