I am doing some research into how couples struggle with fitness in their lives together. What kinds of things do you struggle with when it comes to your relationship and fitness/nutrition?

    I struggle with fitting in workouts and still spending time together. He usually doesn't feel like working out the same time as I do (or at all), so when I go over there, I don't want to take time away from him by working out if he won't do it with me, so I just don't do it.

    I struggle to fit it in to my day - with work, chores, cooking etc and then trying to spend some quality time with the husband I struggle to fit exercise in. Annoying thing is that I genuinely enjoy exercise - just wish I only needed 6 hours sleep so i could fit an early morning run in before work!

    The only struggle which is less difficult for me now is when my husband is eating poorly and his junk food acts as a temptation for me. This was difficult in the beginning but less so now.

    These are great! Keep em coming! Time is definitely a struggle for many couples...what keeps you/him from working out with you? I hear he doesn't "feel like" working out at the same time, why is that? I notice your sacrifice your workout and therefore taking care of yourself. Does that happen a lot? Does he do the same? Would he get mad if you worked out or would he support you? Encourage you?
    It is really hard when one person is trying to eat clean and the other has junk around. How do you manage it? You said it got easier over time? How? What did you tell yourself?? How Did he support you?
    I'm asking tons of questions. Hope you don't mind sharing :-)Thanks!!!
