Healthy Living

One day I decided it was time for me to feel better about myself, lose the baby fat, get fit and eat right. Once I lost 10lb its almost like a light bulb went off inside my husband....maybe he should try too :)lol He cant have a hot wife and be over weight :)lol, thats what I like to think was going through his mind :)So he started exercising too and because I made dinner I just started putting a big ole salad infront of him with a side of meat, instead of the other way around. He has now lost 30lb to my 15....jerk :)lol You sound like you are taking the right steps to help your husband, maybe it will take alittle time watching you get healthy for him to join in. Good luck to the both of you.

If you're in charge of dinner or grocery shopping, be careful what you buy/make. Choose healthy foods and don't allow the "junk" in your house. You may not be able to control his exercise habits, but you should have some say on the types of food in your house. And the advice about walking each night...wonderful! Good luck.

Its good that HE is wanting to make a change for himself. The machine you got for him was a good first step in helping him make that change. However getting him to use it could be a touchy subject...you don't want to hurt his feelings. If I were in this situation I'd lead by example. Start working out, if you don't already. Take time out to use the machine with him, ect. Maybe you could look into getting a family gym membership or something. By getting everyone involved and making some very important lifestyle changes, you'll have a better shot at total success and your husband will have all the support he needs to get where he wants to be. You could also try to change up the diet. Thats HUGE! Slowly try to cut out all the junk from your grocery list by replacing them with healthier choices. Diet is such a big factor in the way we feel, in terms of having that extra "energy". Also, maybe you could try planning fun weekend trips with the family that promote physical activity like a family hike. Maybe you'd even want to consider making a family walk part of your daily routine. Lastly...don't forget to recognize the hubby for all of his hard work! If he seems to be trying hard or is progressing tell him how proud you are.
Good luck to you!

My husband and I have faced the same thing your going through. We go for a walk in the evening as a family. My oldest runs, skips and jumps ahead of us and the walk gives my hubby and i time to catch-up on what happend throughout the day + enjoy exercise together. hope this helps

I'm not sure that I can help with the weight control aspect of your question, but I can help you out with finding a solution to his lack of energy. I have found a wonderful new health and wellness drink called MONA VIE. It contains 18 different fruits incorporated into a juice with the ACAI berry. If you watch Oprah, then you might know that Dr. Nicholas Perricone revealed this fruit on her show as the #1 top superfood in the world. It is found only in the Amazon Rainforest, and has been eaten by the Brazilian tribespeople who live in the raiforest as a part of every meal. Because of this berry, they live longer and have more energy than almost any other group of people. I have been taking it for a little over 4 months, and even in the first week or two that I tried it, I had so much more energy, and I could keep up with both of my 1 year old twins. I am sleeping better, and I don't have any more pain in my muscles and joints that I have had since before my pregnancy. I could go on and on about this amazing product, but instead of taking up a huge amount of space on your page, I will send you to this site to help you get much more information than I could give you.
