Yesterday's work out was the best so far this last week. I've been keeping stats and I am surprised in the improvement I'm making in just one week. So I worked out 4 times this week. Once was just the treadmill then the other 3 times was treadmill & weights. Man have I missed weight training. Even though I am lifting low weight it is still satisfying. And it is easier to push my muscles to limits because it doesn't effect my asthma. After witnessing my efforts this week I told DH that I could really use a weight bench and w/o hesitation he said lets go get you one. I love him. He is always so supportive. He told me if it is something that will help me he will get it. And we got a great deal under $100 and it has the leg curling things at the end. So now we are trying to make room for it. I've been doing my weights on my balance ball and it isn't supporting my neck so I am thrilled to have a bench. But now we have to make room for it. Not sure how that is going to work yet but I will find a way! Another way DH showed his supportive side this week was because my house work has been suffering. I can't seem to have time to do both working out after work and picking up the house. I told DH he can either have a cranky fat wife & a clean house or a happy thin wife & a messy house. LOL! He told me he'd rather I work on me cause he can help w/ the house. This is coming from my DH who is super cranky when the house is a mess. His love language is acts of service so there is no better way for me to show him I love him than by cleaning the house & making dinner. So the fact that he said this is a big deal. One of the things that was said in the book I read "The Shift" is that she says to let your husband love you. I realized that is very difficult for me to do. I mean I know he loves me but I always worry about the fact that he has a fat wife and that his attraction to me must be suffering because of it. But truth is he loves me just the way I am and no matter how I feel about myself he doesn't see what I see. I hope he still sees the me he fell in love with. I know he misses my confidence and he finds it very attractive. My work outs are having an effect already on my confidence. I started the week on the treadmill trying to keep the pace at 3 MPH but had to bring it down to 2.8 once the incline was at 5 & 6. Yesterday I did my whole treadmill at 3.2 and the last 3 mins at 3.5. And my breathing already seems to be getting better. Today is my rest day I plan to rest on Wed & Sun. But I felt like I wanted to get on the treadmill. So happy the desire to work out seems to be returning so quickly. I just NEED to get the food thing figured out.
