Diet and Exercise......sigh.....

Ok, I have got to do something.....my midlife crisis is not the middle age crazies or acting younger than I really am....trying to dress like I did when I was a 20 something or even a 30 something, its weight gain! I'm not going to sugar coat this, plain and simple, I have allowed myself to get fluffy (not obese fluffy, just enough to be uncomfortable fluffy) and boy am I! So when Kadie and David announced their plans, I had one too.....lose weight! Who wants an overweight MOB, or even more so I DON'T WANT TO BE AN OVERWEIGHT MOB! There I've said it....I'm overweight....they say the first step in the 12 step program is realizing you have a problem, well I do! So since both MOB and FOB could stand to lose a few lb's..... I have started to instruct Mark on how to lose weight. I make sure he exercises daily, he is so diligent about the 2 miles he does each day on the treadmill (weekends its 3)....I make sure he eats a healthy breakfast, has a calorie conscience lunch and I prepare a great dinner, without the buttered rolls :( or bread that we so love and even have cut back on having a glass of wine after dinner. I offer encouragement constantly, and being the good wife is paying off.....he just told me at the breakfast table today that he is losing a pound a day.....Dr. will be happy with his progress too! I'm so proud.....my loving encouragement is actually paying off......the happy dance was taking place in my heart.....until....he looked over at me and asked how my walking and attempt at weight loss was coming........that's not nice.....that was an unprovoked attack...don't burst my bubble, God doesn't like ugly and we're celebrating a small victory...I'm doing a great job at gently nudging you into your weight loss program! I've been watching the Biggest Loser.... doesn't that count for something???
