So we are getting chubby together. So.... we are now officially exercising and eating better together. The husband finally seems to be ready to take it seriously. He's been more aware of his calories (and protruding belly) and seems to be ready to "do this". It was kind of fun doing our old people stretches and exercises together tonight and feeling like we can do this together. I did it alone, but without his willingness to live and eat the same lifestyle, I just gained it all back. It was too easy to eat out together and let him baby me with all these treats, etc. No can do. Sometimes, but not so much.
My hip is still bothering me, but it's going to do that whether I exercise or not and I can't wait any longer to start exercising again, so we're just going for it. Sunday was so beautiful that it inspired both of us. We were going to go play some pinochle with my mom and dad but dad got called out on the ambulance. We did enjoy a beautiful, lazy Sunday with just each other anyway. Kind of weird not seeing the kids, but it was still nice. We even went for a drive and scoped out some potential houses and crossed some off of our favorites list.
With spring arrives a new sense of hope and things to come. We are both ready to move into a bigger house and have a place for the grandkids to really play. Patience.... I know. We are headed to Seattle next week and we're hoping for good weather so we can drive. I'm looking forward to seeing my best friend while we're up there and maybe even go snowmobiling with them up at their cabin if the roads are good.
Oh, and I must mention that I got to see Jac this weekend-- a former player. She is one of those kids that I became very close with and she's married now and soon to be headed into her final year of college. I loved visiting with her, catching up, and just seeing her grow into the wonderful adult I always knew she would be. I just love her and it helped fill my cup. Another thing that fills my cup is watching Daisha play in her basketball games and all the little cousins hanging out while she plays. And this Saturday she is getting baptized. What a special day. Tomorrow we go pick out her dress and I just can't believe she's that old already.
So many blessings and I get to share each step with my forever love. :) I'm a lucky girl.
