Through Thick and Thin
If there is one thing I know for sure - it is my husband truly loves me.
The vows we said in 2009 are rock solid.
He said through thick and thin and he meant figuratively and literally.
When you say "I Do" to the love of your life there are certain life occurrences you can never foresee. Whether it be divorce, death, illness, disabilities, you name it, it has happened to couples all over the world. For Kenny and I, the last year and a half has been a testament of our love. He has not once left my side when I said I needed him. If you are lucky enough to have someone like this in your life, no matter what, don't let them go.
As I look back at vacation photos to Las Vegas in 2010, I realized, that takes on a literal meaning. I know, I can go on and on about low sodium diets. I can said, ditch the processed foods. The reason I do this is because I have struggled for a long time with weight and now I am finally under control. That's right people- I was out of control. After my mother passed away, I just kept thinking of what she would say, "you are beautiful no matter what." And I truly believed I was big and beautiful. What I failed to mention is the fact she would have addressed my weight issue long before it had reached that stage.
Call it what you will. Denial. Emotional eating. Laziness.
True. True. True.
I was overweight and I didn't give a rats behind because I was happily in love, living the good life.
Oh, I worked out alright. I loved hard core cardio. But the fact is, if you don't watch your diet, it doesn't help shed weight. I just gained muscle over the top of my fat. I was big and toned. haha!
It wasn't until Hutch came into this world and hearing someone tell you - change your life or you could die. Whoa, my whole world came crashing in. I would be giving up two of the things I loved the most for entertainment, eating whatever I wanted and drinking beer. I had to do it, because the alternative just wasn't my style.
Now, I am as happy as ever. I feel like I am getting my cardio symptoms under control, or maybe just dealing with them better. To stay on track, I have to keep reminding myself who I did this for. I did it for me. I did it for Ethan. I did it for Kenny. And I did it for you all out there who love me.
This past week, I ate horribly. I felt bad about my choices. I was walking several miles a day in Las Vegas, but I was breaking clean on my weight. I am ready to get back to it. I am ready to start adding some real cardio exercise into my life. I am ready to get these last 10 pounds off my body the right way. No calorie counting. No low carb diet. No eating food that doesn't act as the best fuel for my body.
Yes, to a new me. Hard work, clean living as Gant would say.
Thank you all for sticking with me though thick and thin...but mostly, thank you KP, my love.
Here's to hard work! CHEERS! (Drink a cold one for me!)
