No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!
ugh, starting over again.
So, here I am again, starting over. I am trying to watch my calories. Also, I've decided that I am going with a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet. Its been 3 days, I went for a 15 minute walk on day one. I had to stop early bacause my body hurt, but I'm not giving up that easily anymore. I'm going walking with a friend tomorrow. Hopefully 2 miles:)
My husband isn't in very good shape either. Hes 6'4 and overweight as well. And he says he is going to start watching what he eats, but he WILL NOT exercise, and he doesn't even eat very healthy. Today he told me, when I was about to go walking, that the new me is getting annoying. Because I want to exercise and he doesn't. (Ummmm. Really?)
Living in a house with someone who isn't super supportive and encouraging is not helpful.

Thanks for you comment Sierra. I'm sorry that your husband isn't being as supportive as you need him to be! If you could buddy up with your walking partner and try to get a routine down to walk with her certain days, that would certainly be helpful. Also posting here you will find tons of support, as you already know! We are all in this together after all and it is so easy to find inspiration and motivation here! Also consider using one of the tracking websites to track your food. I like spark people, it's free, user friendly & it is one of the secrets to my success! When I don't track I don't do nearly as well! As far as getting your husband involved, instead of "exercising", maybe there is a sport or activity that he enjoys that is fun for him and won't seem like exercise. If you can find something that you both enjoy, that would be so awesome!

I felt the same way---happy for my friends with their kids, but, feeling sort of jealous and left out because we had conception difficulty.
I think seeing you exercise and eat healthy makes your husband feel guilty and shameful-which is why he comments. When you guys don't exercise and make poor choices in eating, he has someone to do it with. (Like a "drinking buddy" except with food) and now his drinking buddy is gone and he wants her back.
Too bad you can't encourage him to be your fitness buddy. Maybe if he thinks that it won't be endless salads and 24/7 exercise, he might agree? Maybe you can show him the myfitnesspal website and let him see that you can eat anything you want as long as you're within your allotment. Maybe you can start out by walking 20 minutes twice a week and then gradually increase it to 25 then 30 and at some point, 3 times a week etc. Take baby steps. Perhaps you can give him a "reward" for each 5 pounds he loses--you know--the kind of reward that men like. :P Good luck!
