Before and After

                                                               

George left in March and it's almost time for him to come home. We are literally single digits away now. EEEEEEEK!!

I am so proud of my husband!
He is one of a kind. A rare find. When you find someone like George you hang on and never let go. We have been doing this Disco Dance of ours for over 20 years now. He puts up with my morning ritual which is don't talk don't look at me until I have my tea cause I may throat punch you. Which he makes every morning and its waiting for me when I crawl out of bed looking and acting like Medusa. He still loves me and sees past my annoying little habits, like putting the toilet paper roll on backwards, mixing up the silverware in the drawer( he loves that) lol and my ever changing attitude min by min. hahahaha
When he says good morning beautiful I feel pretty even though I look like medusa. He makes me feel like a princess.

So since we have been apart we both decided it was time to take care of ourselves. It was time to get real. We are both entering a different stage in our lives and we want to be healthy. I want to still run a 5 or 10km when I'm 80 and not be in a wheelchair. I want to be mobile. George loves weights he wants to look like a viking warrior when he's 80. So we needed to start. George has always been active and in pretty good shape. We all let ourselves go, George letting himself go is like 10-20 pounds overweight. He has always been conscience of his body and what he puts in it. That being said though over the years he has put weight on taken it off you know the cycle we do to ourselves. Why do we do this?? It's alot of work and not healthy for you. Me on the other hand I'm the opposite of George when I need to lose weight it's way more the 20lbs lol
I'm down 50lbs since he left and still have a bit more to go. I feel amazing. I so wish I took a before pic. This time for me a shift has changed in my thought process about weight, exercise, food.
I look forward to working out. I love seeing the changes in my body especially when I lose weight in my boobs. That is a  call for a party!! That just wants me to workout until I drop. hahaha

Anyways back to my husband my hero and more importantly my very best friend.
George was smart and took a before pic of himself and one taken a few weeks ago now.
With his permission and hesitation as he's very private about his body which he should be. He has allowed me to share his before and after pic.
When I look at this picture I mean of course I see muscles and and........ but the pride I feel for him. For digging deep and getting the job done. When George commits to something he's all in until the end. This time there is no end though. We have both agreed that we would keep each other accountable for his or her weight. We have allowed a 5lb window. If we put more then 5 lbs on it's time to get it off. You push a little harder in those work outs.


So here is George's before and after pictures. See what saying ladies. I did good eh??. Damn, double damn :P Hurry up and get home already!!!!!!!!!!
