    Yes. Mine could care less. I still do my thing. I set time aside at least 5-6 days a week for myself to work out. And I plan the weekly menu based on things that work for me. If they don't want to eat it they can starve. They always eat it btw and usually like it.

    The vast majority of us with a partner have a partner who is not on the same health-seeking journey we are. That's just humanity being self-centered.

    Would | Cound never happen. This is a life-style for me. If she is not into the same life-style, then there is not going to be "partner" status. Not on this Earth. Sorry....just not an option. I know what I want....and I really know what I do not want. Someone that does not go to the gym and does not eat 'similar' to how I do - that is in the "what I do not want" group. Fundamentals.....gotta jive.
