So What Wednesday

Life After I Dew


So what if it I think my husband is an asshole.

Now let me explain before you start deleting me from your blogger, Instagram and Facebook.

My husband is not really an asshole.  He's actually really nice.  He's very social and can talk to just about anyone.  He's kind and always has a hard time saying no.  He works hard for us so that I can stay home with the kids and he is a fantastic father.

So in reality, he is not really an asshole.

But when it comes to weight loss, giant A-hole.

He came into the bathroom the other morning and said, 'As of now, I'm down six pounds.'

He almost got punched in the face. 

I've been tracking my eating and staying under my calories for the past three and a half months.  I started a 30 day shred with Jillian Michaels two weeks ago and have been doing double workouts every day.  I haven't lost a single pound in the past two weeks.

He's lost six.

'Is that good?' he says.  Of course it's good asshole!

Now let me just say that I am the one who is responsible for his diet.  I make him low calorie egg muffins for his breakfast and he usually has a veggie/fruit smoothie.  I pack his lunch and food for the day and make sure that he is not over 1000 calories for the day.  I make dinner and put the food on his plate so he doesn't over eat.

He doesn't have time to workout so the only physical activity he is doing is working, which does help since he has a pretty physical job.  But for the most part, his weight loss is due to the lower calorie intake.  Which is all me.

So you're welcome.

Now what about me?  Why am I not losing the weight?  Why am I busting my ass every day and not getting any results?  Why does it seem to be one hundred times easier for a man to lose weight than a woman?

I'm glad that he is losing some weight.  I'm glad he's feeling better.  He says he has more energy and just feels good all around.  I'm glad for that.  And I'm glad I can help him with that.  But what about me? 

Help me out with some tips here ladies!

    LOL This sucks. It's so wrong and I agree with you. I remember going to Vegas last year for my husband's birthday and I was dreading getting on the scale and sure enough, I gained 7 or something pounds and my husband proceeded to brag about losing weight. LOSING WEIGHT ON VACATION? No. No. No. It's not right! lol

17 Tips - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin

17 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin Even when you're still trying to conceive, it's smart to start taking prenatal vitamins. Your baby's neural cord, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, develops within the first month of pregnancy, so it's important you get essential nutrients, like folic acid, calcium, and iron, from the very start. Prenatal vitamins are available over the counter at most drug stores, or you can get them by prescription from your doctor. If taking them makes you feel queasy, try taking them at night or with a light snack. Chewing gum or sucking on hard candy afterward can help, too. It took me a little while to get into the habit of taking my prenatal vitamin. I wasn't used to taking anything daily since I had been off the pill for a few months. I finally got myself in the habit of taking it every morning. I just take an over the counter vitamin. It has the same nutrients as a doctor prescribed vitamin but is less hass...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...
