Hey all! I gotta get on the treadmill and run today. It's cold outside today. It was nice and warm yesterday! I hate winter. Our weather here is so screwy!! Good luck everyone! GO PURPLE!!

TRLTAMPA

I ran outside last night and almost died. I thought my chest was gonna burst into flames!
When I got up to ride the bike this morning, I was dragging. But I had those pants set out that I really wanted to fit into today, so I pushed. And they fit! I know that just working out today isn't what made them fit, but it's an instant gratification.
Now I'm at work and it's sooooo slow. I can't go home cuz I'm off Thursday. Now I'm just stuck sitting here twiddling my thumbs and hopefully not 'bored eating'.

renae77

Work is still slow for me and my hubby. He is getting one day a week when he usually works 3-4 and I am getting 2 or 2 1/2 days when I usually get 3. It rained here last night so we didn't do anything yesterday evening outside. By the time my daughter got out of daycare she couldn't play outside which is what we were hoping. This weather is so awful!

TRLTAMPA

It was raining all day here. Today is much better.
I did my 3rd set of the sit ups challenge and the kids joined in. They really like pushing themselves. It's a great family thing to do together. The hubby would have no part of it! Him and exercise don't mix, even though he sees my progress and says he wishes he could do it. He can sit on that couch and wish all he want.....but it won't get rid of that belly.

renae77

My hubby swears he needs to run on the treadmill but he never does it. Yes he does need to workout too. I told him I am tired of him telling me that "we" need to work out and eat better and lose weight but I am the ONLY one that ever does anything about it. I guess that is partly why I am so depressed and disgusted with everything lately. I was doing so good for a month and he never would get involved like he swore he would. Lately I haven't done anything right, exercising, drinking water, watching my calories, nothing. Uuuuggghhhh! We got to the grocery store and I am looking at fruits and veggies and all the healthy stuff and he is looking for powdered donuts and Little Debbie Snacks and swears the are for our daughter but he usually ends up eating the majority of the junk food himself. I am so sick of it. I know I can do this especially since I have already lost 11 pounds. It just pisses me off! He could at least work with me to help keep me motivated. Some days I want to just say the hell with it and on other days I want to just continue on to prove to him that I can do it without him. I am sorry for the venting session. I know you have better things to do with your day! But thanks for listening!

TRLTAMPA

I swear I could be ranting everything you just said. I get so fed up when I'm trying to workout and my 4yr old comes running in the room wanting me to open something or help her zip her pants. He's sitting right there on the freakin couch, doing absolutely nothing, and I have to stop my workout to do it!
Now he's telling me that I'm working out too much! I guess he lost his drive before it even started. He gets mad that I won't eat what he cooks for supper. He was doing good for about a week, making healthy stuff, but I guess it didn't taste good enough for him and he went back to his old ways. I'm not eating that crap! I just jogged for 30 minutes and u want me to eat a fried pork chop?????
There, now we have matching rants.....lol

renae77

That is so funny! Sorry but it is, but in a good way only you and I would understand. Well I do try to cook healthier but at this point I am just content going out to eat. I am working more than he is right now and I usually am the one still worrying about what to cook and everything while he spends his time in the garage doing whatever he wants to do. Um hell no! I am done with all that. I will start eating cereal or something that way I won't have to worry about nothing else. Half the time my daughter still hasn't had supper by 7:30 pm and that is getting close to her bedtime. He picks her up by 5 when he is off. When she is with my mom or my aunt she already has supper by the time I get home. That is how it should be. She is 4 and doesn't really ask for much but she still needs to eat before it is that late.

TRLTAMPA

I have that fight with mine all the time. The older kids are able to do for themselves, but not the 4 yr old. He was making himself a sandwich because he was hungry but it didn't occur to him that she may be hungry too! MEN!

Now that he's not gonna jump on this bandwagon I tell him all the time that I'm gonna get too hot for him! Then what will he do????

renae77

Mine wants me to get hot again! But the thing is, I want attention now, not just when I am hot. What's the deal with that anyway? They are never happy with anything but they expect us to be happy with whatever we get and all that. Mine says well I haven't gained but blah blah pounds. I said well you may not have but I think lots of his muscle has turned to fat and he isn't big at all but women put their belly's in their pants while men throw their belly's over their pants. So there you go. Don't criticize me and not do anything for yourself. Then he promised me he would quit smoking and he was doing better then all of a sudden he is back to smoking too many again. That makes me mad too.

TRLTAMPA

I'm fighting mine with drinking and smoking. RIght now he's really being an @$$hole to everybody, blaming it on trying to quit.
Nuh-uh!
I quit chocolate, coffee, and soda and I'm not a b*tch! (more than usual...lol)
And as for getting attention now......HA! I'm lucky if he even glances in my direction. I was behind him on my bike the other day, booty shorts and a tiny sports bra....strategically placed of course....and nothing. He even walked past me a couple times and didn't even look. We're in our 30s! I need it a LOT more than he's giving it.
My dad used to joke about getting it on his Bday and their anniversary.....now I'm starting to know what he was talkin about.

renae77

I know that feeling. When mine gets stressed that stuff is non-existent! I am just tired of fighting it all. It drives me nuts and gives me no drive or motivation! What do we have to do to make them look our way? Be a size 0 and the person they love on tv?

TRLTAMPA

I'm in my prime. Mamma needs some loving!
What's really gonna piss me off is if he starts getting interested AFTER I lose all the weight. I'll cut him off real quick! I put up with his beer belly!!! I had 4 kids....I can have a pooch if I want one (which I dont want one!)

renae77

No one wants one but it isn't fair. He says something about he is tired of settling for less than he deserves and all he wants is for me to look about like I did when we met. I was 110-115 pounds then. I don't want that small and he doesn't want me that small. And I do want to lose the weight. Don't get me wrong and I want it for me and for him, not just for him. But I hate to feel pressured about it and no one there to help me out. I want to feel sexy and even when I was skinny before I didn't feel sexy because I have the lowest self-esteem of anyone I have even known. I don't know how to feel better about me. Sometimes I think I need a psychiatrist or something.

TRLTAMPA

I've always been that way. Before I had kids I was 115, and I wasn't happy. I look ay pictures of myself from back then and I wish I could be that way again. I wouldn't take it for granted! (i hope)
Mine wouldn't dare tell me he's not happy with the way I look now, but I know he thinks it. That's why his xbox is more appealing that I am. I want to throw that thing out the door!

I like the new pic btw.

renae77

Thanks! Well we have days off together but he is never home. Since work has been short I have weekends off right now. Every weekend I am hone with our daughter and he is out doing whatever he wants which is usually at the garage working on a car. I don't want to feel like a live in babysitter all the time. He swears our daughter gets on his nerves and she is always wide open and can be irritating but that is just her, and she is 4 for God's sake. He uses his nerves for everything and that is so not right. His nerves aren't that bad.

TRLTAMPA

My 12 yr old gets on everybody's nerves. He's going full speed from the second he wakes up til way past when I go to bed.
My husband is out of work, again. I'm more used to him not having a job than I am when he does have one. I get pissed when I come home to a dirty house after he's been home all day. All he does is start supper (about 1/2 the time). My mom told me not to marry him cuz he was lazy and I wouldn't be happy....of course I thought she was out of her mind!

renae77

Mine is far from lazy and he will help me but sometimes I have to harass him to get him to do something in the house. He always says well I have to get this done or that done....in the garage. What about the damn house we live in? Let's let it be a pig sty and not care what happens right? As for supper, he says well I don't know what you want. I tell him whatever he fixes will be fine. Or if I have something laid out for supper, he will say I didn't know how you wanted it fixed. Just fix it and hush! Dang how hard can that be?? I get tired of everything and when I say something he gets mad. But it's ok for him to be mad but not me. I guess that is enough venting for right now.

TRLTAMPA

LOL.....
im sitting here bored out of my mind at work and everybody here just went out to the local sports bar and got a ton of wings and fries and other deliciously horrible stuff.
And I'm crunching on my carrots.

renae77

That sounds like fun! I am ready for bed and it is only 3pm. I am just in one of those moods. I seem to stay blah all the time anymore. I don't know what is wrong with me! Uuughhhh!!!!

TRLTAMPA

stress

suprjewels

can I join in on the rant?? I know I'm late but, please!

TRLTAMPA

go right ahead....what u got?

suprjewels

ok Mine is supportive with working out with me every night. He still has to have his snacks so I have to have will power. But, my pet peeve is this...
While we work out he stares at his lady (motorcycle) talks sweet to her, tells this pile of metal how pretty she is. It's in the garage where we work out. If he's not drooling and complimenting the pile of metal he is himself. He'll flex and say how good he looks. How much bigger his muscles are getting. He never says anything about my 3 pant size drop. Or the fact that I lost 3 1/2 inches in 2 weeks. HOw awesome is that?? Pretty awesome I think. But, he said good job when I told him and then nothing. I'm so tired of being ignored! Now I can't complain. He does give me some attention. He'll walk by and hit my boobs like they are a speed bag in boxing. It's so not funny!!!

TRLTAMPA

When I get any kind of attention it's him pulling my boob out of my bra. It's hard enough to get them in there right. I don't need you comin around messin em up!

You should do the same thing he does. Talk yourself up on the treadmill. Talk about how firm your butt is getting. Tell yourself there's nobody hotter than you. He'll either agree, or hear how ridiculous he sounds and stop doin it. Win Win

suprjewels

talking himself up is annoying.. But, that piece of metal just makes me hot. He even will rub "her". I could just scream. It happens while I'm doing my rep on the machine so it does give me pissed off power to go through with the reps.
I agree I'd be more pissed he pulled my boob out instead of just speed bagging them. I know they are big. Come on I have to lift them into the bra! But, they are not as big as a speed bag!!!!!!! It also freaking hurts. I yell at him to stop and he just laughs.
I just don't think I could talk myself up. You are right that would put him in his place. But, I'd feel wierd. One I don't have that confidence and too I'd feel like the *kitten* I think he is! I need to just do it. He's suppose to quit smoking too. He says he's doing better but, I don't see it. I'm giving up chocolate and so much more and he's suppose to give up cigs. MEN

TRLTAMPA

Between my husband and my grabby 4 yr old, I never get alone time with my boobs.

I'd put a tarp over the bike.
Get some headphones and turn em up wayyy loud.
Sing along and have him wishing u'd shut up!

familygirl37167

Hello team, sounds like everyones husband is pissing them off. I have to admit I have a great husand he supports me in ever way, he weighs out all my food for me he goes walking with me when I ask him to, he even ran to the store lastnight in the freezing to get me strawberries because I wanted them as a snack today. He tells me all the time honey you look sexy, do you need so new clothes go get you some. He still does eat what he wants, but in his defense he does not need to lose weight and he also fixes dinner for him and the kids 11 yrs old and 4 yr old. He does not expect me to eat what he makes them which is easier for me. I never eat after 6 and they usually do I am full before they eat. A lot of time we will go out to dinner and I will just watch them or have a salad with lettuce tom and onions no dressing even fat free since its full of sodium. Then down about 3 or 4 glasses of water so I am full. I hope everyone has a great weigh in.

suprjewels

he actually has a tarp for it. I will have to find it. That is great! We listen to music when we work out. But, once again it's his music. so it's rap or heavy rock. Once in a while I like a song but, not normally. Also I forgot my biggest rant because I was on the phone while I typed.

He has our schedule for our workouts because he's done all this before and knows more than I do. Which was fine until I found out our workouts. We have one day for legs and it's only two exercises and he won't participate in it. He doesn't like to work his legs. Then we only have one ab workout. We do I don't even know how many for our shoulders, triceps, biceps, chest, upper back. I keep telling him I'm a pear. I need more lower workouts. I get ignored. When I measured my arms had grown 1/2 an inch. I wanted to smack him. I know they are stronger. I appreciate that. but, bigger is never better when you are too big to begin with. You know? So I've changed my workout with my friend that I do in the morning. We added squats and and another ab and a bunch more legs. He got mad. He said you aren't suppose to work your muscles like that. I said, if you'd had listened to me then maybe I would have had them added correctly. But, it's too late now and you don't work out with us. This is what we are doing. I've never broken a sweat with him. I have gained strength though and have been able to add more weight. With her I'm sweating. Because it's were I have all the fat and it's harder for me. So on him!!!
