Do ya think?

My husband is coming to the realization that his favorite way of eating is making him fat. Da ya think? For the past 27 years his favorite way of eating plumps him past 200 lbs. When he does eat his favorite way, the pounds magically melt off. When they melt off to a certain point 188 pounds, he goes back on his favorite way of eating to help him lose weight. Well, his "weight loss" pounds to come, goes in the wrong direction every time. I know he wants to believe his way works but it doesn't.

I don't remember once my father giving my mom the word about her cooking. My dad cooked on weekends. Of the two, he was the better cook. He was part Italian and believe in using spices to improve the taste of food. My mom on the hand loved bland food. The blander the better.

My husband looks at a salad and says he can't eat this everyday.. but yet he can eat TV dinners everyday. He eats turkey dinners morning, noon and night. Sometimes he will a different dinner but his main squeeze of TV dinners is Turkey.

I just don't get it.

My husband...

He had a thought yesterday.... That he might be the problem of me losing my weight because of the food he throws in the cart. He also came up with another brilliant idea.. No snack foods in the house we wouldn't be snacking at night?

Da ya think?

Observations on Exercise

I don't like to exercise.  I do it nearly every day in some form or fashion.  I walk on a treadmill, I go to the gym.  But I don't enjoy it, and many days, I have to talk myself into exercising at all.  I could reward myself with food, but that would defeat the purpose, now wouldn't it?  lol

It has occurred to me that exercise should burn calories in proportion to how much we enjoy it.  If you have a terrible cold, but you go to the gym anyway - the calories burned should be double the normal calories burned!  If you hate painting, but you paint a room anyway - double calories for you.  If it worked that way in real life, we would lose a lot more weight, because we would be a little more eager to do the exercise we really don't enjoy.
