Weighing in on my Marriage

  

     This morning, my skinny husband cashed in on a gift I gave him for Christmas - 4 sessions with a trainer.  As I've mentioned before, I need to bulk him up since I can't seem to lose the weight and I DO NOT want to weigh more than him.  So at 6 a.m. today, he met up with a professional who can do the job for me.  Skinny husband had his heart rate and measurements taken and he weighed in... exactly 1 pound heavier than me.

     At first I was happy because the number is bigger than the one I am presented with on the scale each week.  But I am DANGEROUSLY close to weighing more than him.  That just won't do.  Game on. Bring it.  This just can't happen and I am reinvigorated with my new mission in life.

     I got the news and started off my morning with an unflavored protein shake by Jay Robb and 5 ripe strawberries.  I took my probiotics and have every intention of working out today.  I roasted a chicken last night with oregano and lemon along with some acorn squash (a Weight Watchers recipe) so I am set up for success with my lunch and dinner.  I smiled coyly as my husband downed a cream cheese muffin from Starbucks and offered him a big fat bagel with plenty of butter to go with it (he turned it down).  I'll be adding plenty of carbs to his meal tonight too, maybe a side of Cheetos and some full fat ice cream for dessert.

     I won't give up until I am in the "clear"-will that be a 10 pound difference?  15? I'm not sure but I'm going to stay focused on the task at hand...a little competition never hurt a relationship right? Let's hope not!
