Today I want to give a big shout out to my wonderful hubby. He has really been here for me and a huge support so far through this journey. When I first went to set up this blog, he left this note on the home page for me to see before I published the site:
"This is awesome babe and I think it will be another good motivator for you to keep on the path of being a more healthy and happy person. I love you so much. Keep going, you can do everything you dream of.
Love you!
P."
You have no idea how much this meant to me! I was taking this huge leap in faith to put myself out there for all to see and my husband was backing me up. Not only backing me up, but letting me know that he thought that this was good for me and that he believes in me.
He has also really been thinking about me and what is best for my new healthy living. While we have gone off fishing the past couple of weekends, he has suggested picking up Blimpies and sandwich fixings rather than stopping by a McDonalds or some other fast food burger joint. This is very helpful to me because eating out is one of the hardest parts of this for me.
Even more importantly, though, this last week I talked to my hubby about how overwhelmed I was feeling trying to keep up with it all. Exercising, kids, housework, work, etc. I felt like I was letting the housework slide in order to keep up with my weight loss/healthy living. He told me that I needed to keep up what I was doing because it is important for me to be healthy and happy. He did not want me to get off track due to things that are just not as important like the housework which he could help out with. He has really stepped up and taken over with some of the housework for me as well as always being here to watch the kids while I am running in the mornings and at Zumba at night.
He has been a real big support to me so far and I believe he will continue to be throughout the rest of this journey. He has even read through each and every blog post thus far and keeps encouraging me along the way. I don't believe I would have been able to make it this far without his support.
He deserves so much more than just this little "thank you" post for all the support he has given me. Thank you babe for supporting me through this journey. Thank you for always being here for me through the good, the bad, and the ugly. I love you!
