Hi ladies! I know I haven't posted in a couple of days, but I have good things to report! The weight has been going down, down this week! I have made my workouts a little longer (around an hour vs. a half hour) and have also been very selective about what I'll eat. Here's a weigh in...
Monday 172.6
Tuesday 172.0
Wednesday 170.9
Thursday 170.9
I cannot EVER remember seeing the number 170 in my adult life! This is REALLY happening! I truly believe that I can do this! My entire frame has gotten smaller. I went shopping yesterday with a friend and was amazed! I just accepted a new job, and so I bought some clothes to celebrate! I was so pleased that everything looked so good on me! I had a little fashion show for Bob and he was so impressed!
My big thing now is motivating HIM! He needs to lose way more weight than me. I half started this to look great for my wedding, and half to motivate him. I'd like him around a long long time, and he said that if he doesn't shed the weight, it won't happen. I think he's at 343 right now (6'1"). He wants it, but I don't see him counting the calories, and doing the workouts. He has lost 3 lbs over the last couple of weeks, but I know that he could shed so much more if he gave it his all. The new job I'm taking is right down the street from his office and the gym I go to has a location in that town. I think he's going to get a membership and we can start going after work together. That should be good for both of us! Any tips on how to motivate your husband/boyfriend??

Your energy and excitement is so motivating! Your doing such a great job and so many things are happening for you that are positive so that helps keep your motivation at an all time high. Congrats on the # on the scale (your only 10 pounds away from my GOAL weight)lol. I hope Bob can get as inspired as you are and do something about his weight. Your getting married to spend a lifetime together and starting it healthy, will keep IT healthy!!! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI sooo wish I knew how to motivate my husband! I recently tried a little friendly competition since he is verrryy competitive. But that didn't work. Unfortunately I think we all need to find motivation for ourselves, much as we so want to help others.
ReplyDeleteI think if you make healthy meals for both of you and don't buy any unhealthy snack food for him and try to work out together you would be going a long ways to helping him. DH has started coming to my gym with me and I am surprised at home much I like that:)
Now if I could just get him to eat better. Sigh.
You are doing SO well! Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteDon't push him too much- i'd probably start feeling low if i were in his place then. He does know why you're taking this so seriously, right? Then, i'm sure THAT is motivation enough. Drag him to the gym- great idea. YOU will then be a great motivator. Plus with you counting calories, he can't be hogging for long around you! (The guilt is bound to catch up!)
