My hubby tells me last night, how proud he is of me and the weight loss I have accomplished. He also tells me that starting this weeken he is going to join me on this weigh loss journey. Let me tell you while this makes me happy, it also a little nerve racking! This is not the first time he has told me that since I began this journey over a year ago! His first attempt he lost 12 lbs. rather quickly! He is a junk food junkie, and he mainly just eliminated his Little Debbies and sodas and chips! Slowly all of these things creeped back into our home and he put that weight right back on! His last attempt lasted a week and he actully got quite grouchy with me and told me if I wanted to be a Health Nut, go right ahead, but I was never to tell him what he was going to eat again, that he would eat what he wanted, when he wanted! I was like okay, then I will never help you again! We had a good talk about how this is going to work this time! I told him I don’t expect him to eat things I do that he does not like, and I will make him healthier lunches for work! I told him that if I am going to do this for him I expect that he eats what I pack and not eat junk from the vending machines! There are also a couple co-workers who bake cookies and other treats all the time and bring them in! Not a problem as long as they start leaving them in the break room! The problem is they like to leave them on his desk! He is the dispatcher at his job and when the drivers come in they walk past his desk, and the bakers leave the goodies there! I told him the next time they do just ask them niceley to please leave the goodies in the break-room, out of site out of mind! He worries that he does not have the will power, I told him it is not easy, but look what I have done! I told him, I will help any way I can, but don’t get angry with me like you have in the past! I told him, I am doing this to not only look better, but to be healthier and I want us to be healthier together! I really hope it works this time!

I have been sticking to plan so well, that I almost amaze myself! What I need to do is motivate myself for more excercise! I am hoping that with the two of us doing this together we can motivate each other!

I hope all of my buddies are Kicking Butt this week!

Have a good one!
