Generally speaking, DH is AWESOME...but....

I've been working out 3-4 times per week and try to check in with my personal trainer once in awhile (I can't afford to have sessions with her all the time, so we just chat about my routine sometimes). Because I'm working so hard at losing the weight and getting into shape, I miss out on an hour of DS time on those evenings. But I'm determined, and I won't have to do it much longer. I just make our few hours together really count.

I finally fit into my pre-preg jeans last week (2 of my million pair, but still). DS peed on them and I had to wash them, which, as you know, shrinks them a little. I put them back on and DH said, "You really squeezed into those jeans, huh?" He didn't mean it mean because he's not like that, but how can that NOT be taken poorly? THey fit, ok? They go up AND they button and zip.

Then yesterday I made my own tortilla chips, which are really good. I was eating a few and DH said, "You better not eat TOO many of those." I say (in a sarcastic way), "Why, DH?" "Because you don't want to undo your workouts."

Seriously. Learn how to talk to a woman. Additionally, let me eat whatever I freaking want!!! If I'm as determined as I am, trust that I won't undo everything I've worked for. I work out so hard and don't need you telling me not to eat something. He can tell I'm losing weight and getting more toned (I gained about 50 and only have 10 left!!!). He's really proud of me. Why does he have to say that? Men apparently don't understand that women don't want to hear things like that.

They are not smart.

DH said to me yesterday, "so...you going back to the gym?"  When would you like me to do that?  AT 4AM or at 10PM because heaven knows he couldn't make it an hour alone with DS.  SHEESH  Men

My DH is the same way.

Thanks!!! For everything! I work at 6:30 am, so I don't really miss much awake time with DS. I still get some, but I still miss out on a whole hour!!! It's so sad, but I know I couldn't do this without the gym. I really can't wait till the weekends--I skip the gym!

I know what you mean. Mh always has something to say if I tell him I want ice cream. I never ate that stuff pre pregnancy but craved it all throughout and I guess I have to be weaned off haha. But as long as I am working out I will eat what I chose to - in moderation. MEN!

Good for you for taking the initiative!  That's awesome.  Men are just dumb sometimes. They have no idea what they are saying and how it makes us feel.

Luckily, my DH would NEVER dare say something like that to me.  He knows how sensitive I am about stuff like that.
