MY Husband

I think I’ve mentioned it before but have never devoted a post to it.  My husband is an inspiration!  He has the perfect workout/diet philsophy.  He doesn’t stress or count calories.  He eats well, balances his choices and workout religiously.

Here’s the backstory:
I met Husband in November 2003 (we were babies then).  I thought he was so cute!  He was a big guy (which I liked).  I am not some small, petite flower so I wanted a guy with some meat on his bones.  During college and writing TWO thesis he gained a little weight.  It didn’t bother him and it didn’t bother me.  In grad school (poor full-time student, saving for a diamond, eating cheaply) Husband put on a little more weight.  It was gradual so neither him or I noticed.  He still looked so handsome!

Summer 2006

Once he got a job in January 2007 we both began working out to get ready for the wedding.  He lost about 40 lbs before the wedding; I lost about 15 lbs.

Our Wedding, July 2007

Since then he has never looked back.  Being healthy has become his life-style.  Each morning Husband gets up to run or incline walk for 20-30 minutes.  He eats very healthy and packs his lunch daily, even with countless food-choices near by his work.  In the evening he stays buy with home-projects.  Nate will have a dessert in the evening if he didn’t have too many sweets at work… BALANCE.  He will enjoy a beer if he feels like it is a good choices.  He doesn’t count calories or stress but makes smart choices EVERY DAY!  He is a perfect, boring example of how to be healthy!

Friend's Wedding, November 2011

Yesterday Husband ran another half-marathon!  He finished in 2:07 (13 minutes off his October’s half-marathon time).  I am so proud of him!  My husband is patient, hard-working and so smart.  He is a wonderful example of how to be healthy in so many ways.  How lucky am I to be married to him?  He is my perfect example of health and balance!

 

My goal is to be more like him.  By better-half makes me better!
