My Husband was Right
I was feeling particularly down about my body and my weight struggles last week and my husband lovingly responded that I should workout more since it makes me feel better about my body. Rather than get mad at that statement-which I totally could have-I agreed with him and I’ve committed to working out more. No more excuses.
This morning was my third day of working out and I didn’t hate what I saw in the mirror while I was on the spin bike. Hooray for small victories! I am taking a day off tomorrow because I don’t want to overdo. But I have plans for a run on Wednesday.
Before spin this morning I had half a granola bar:
I know I’ve already said it but I LOVE these things.
Class was good! I could definitely feel the hike and run on my legs but not in an awful way.
After I got home, showered, and took Lu to daycare I got to come back home and make some eggs:
5 mushrooms, a handful of spinach, garlic, and 2 eggs. Oh and of course some Tapatio! Señor Tapatio Hombre says “WAZZUP!” from the upper left corner 😉
Eggs are such a great breakfast food but I REALLY have to be in the mood for them. I love eggs over easy or poached with toast but scrambles? I have to have a craving. This was extremely yummy. Maybe when I’m working from home permanently you’ll see more of them.
Today, I’m WFH because I have a dentist appointment to get a cavity filled. Of note though, since I’ve stopped eating gluten and started my new regimen, my gums have VASTLY improved. My dental hygienist was actually cheering! I take extremely good care of my teeth and gums and still have issues (bad genes) but they are getting better!!! It makes sense though, I was all inflamed from feeding myself poison (for me) and now I’m not, so my gums aren’t inflamed either. Win-win!
Okay, off to go do the job that pays the bills.

Realizing that my feelings about my body are a direct reflection of my workouts and eating has been a huge help for me. When I am active and eating well I feel better. When I am sedentary and eat crap… I feel like crap.
omg “Señor Tapatio Hombre says “WAZZUP!” from the upper left corner” Love it. I am tapatio freak!
good for you for not taking what your husband said to be an insult. it’s easy to do that, and i’m glad you were able to see his true intentions…
That egg scramble looks AWESOME! I like mine with spinach, sun-dried tomato & feta … not sure if any of those items are on your taboo food list but if not, give it a try…muy goodnes!
I think it’s such a truth: we feel better about how we look when we’re working out! I know it applies to myself, even if there is no discernable difference in my appearance. I’m glad you’ve fired your therapist and listened to your husband. It sounds like the therapist didn’t have your best mental health in mind…RITALIN?? LIPOSUCTION??? Eep. Good for you for focusing on being as HEALTHY as you possibly can be, from the inside out!
