I love my husband, I really do with all my heart but, I strongly dislike his metabolism! He started dieting and exercising the same time I did and has lost 8 pounds! I have, as of today, gained 1 pound.
I have been eating 1340 calories a day and walking on the treadmill. The only thing he has been doing differently is using the bowflex for weight training. So tonight I bowflexed.... and let me tell you my arms were on fire. I used muscles I haven't used in awhile. I feel good about this new addition to my routine, and I am hoping it gives me that last little push towards weight loss.
I am now even more determined to lose these 30 pounds. My husband beats me at everything, to the point were I refuse to play board games with him (I know I am a sore loser, and I am not teaching this trait to my children, but I hate to lose). So this just gives my more drive to beat him at something, for once! It sounds petty but if it keeps me motivated I am all about it.
Now that I have exercised and blogged I must go be mom and read a bedtime story to my little ones. Trying to find balance is hard but that is a whole other blog post....
Today's weight:
181 pounds :(
You're working out. You're probably building muscle. Don't be sad about the gain. You are doing a great job!
