Once my husband decided to change his life and diet, I vowed to do it too. I wasn't being "bad" before, per se, but sometimes I'd have foods that weren't all that great for me or blow off my workouts, etc., but no longer. Now I want to follow his lead and make my life healthier, too. I've also lost weight along with him, so we are both losing weight now, both working out more and both of us eating better. It's so much easier when you are both doing it and both have the same goals.

It's great. 

It's especially wonderful watching my husband slowly discover how much better he feels emotionally and physically, how much better *food* tastes, real food, GOOD food! He can't believe how crappy the fast food he was eating was compared to the food he's eating now. And his happiness has increased tenfold!

Also, his face is showing more definition, so is the rest of his body! It's amazing, really! 

So proud of him. 💓💓💓💓

I thought I'd join my husband in blogging about his journey which has now become my journey as well. You can read his blog here: https://gettinglessfatthefunway.blogspot.com In a nutshell, my husband has had diabetes for many years now but over the last fear years stopped monitoring it and trying to get healthier.

But when he became disillusioned and stopped trying so hard, I didn't say anything. I honestly don't know why except...maybe it was easier? After all, changing your entire lifestyle and eating habits isn't easy.  So I take partial responsibility. December 7th 2022 everything changed. He'd gotten a splinter in his foot over the weekend and it became infected, so he went to Urgent Care where they lanced it and sent him home with antibiotics. But every day when I dress...

One of my biggest personality traits is an overwhelming need to "help out". Not that there is anything wrong with wanting to help others but I can get too aggressive about it. I mean well, but...I can be just too much sometimes. I know this about myself, I've been told many times, almost always sweetly and with love and understanding (although sometimes not, lol!) that the person understands I'm trying to be helpful but they just want to vent or have a sympathetic listener. I am not always needed to jump in and "Fix Things" for them. They'll let me know if they want my help, thank you very much.  So I'm trying very very hard (yes I'm VERY trying, lol!) to give my husband the space he needs and trust him to know what's best for this journey he is on. I can make suggestions always but  he's in charge. Even though every fiber of my being wants to run things for him, make sure everything is as perfect as possible for him so he can continue to...
