The Hubby

So I mentioned in an early blog that we got a new scale.  This prompted my hubby to get on it.  Lets just say that he weighted a little more than he had thought.  It seems to be a common problem around here.  Well, except for Xavier, who can't seem to gain huge amounts (that may have something to do with all his spitting up).  I well , I sort of had a little melt down about his weight and how I wanted him to be around, his family's bad health history and how it would make him feel better.  I said a lot more than that, but that is just a few of the reasons.  I told him he needed to come up with a plan.  And there were going to be no excuses.

Here's the plan.  He is going to cut back on what he eats.  He will no longer drink soda and will not purchase additional food past the lunch that he packed.  He has a goal to work out an hour a day six days a week.  Three or four cardio sessions and two weight and strength training.  I am praying that he sticks to this. 

I am making sure that when he gets home he is working out.  This week he is just trying to do thirty minutes, but that is a hard sacrifice since I have the children all day and look forward to him coming home and a possible break.   This overall will make him a better father and husband.  And once he reaches his goal we will be able to be a fit family together.  You may need to remind me of this later.  He figures that it will take him eight months to reach his goal.  I can't wait!  I will keep you posted.  When he weight himself yesterday he already lost six pounds in five days.
