The Love of a Good Wife
Today was a long day. Sleep was hard to come by going to bed at midnight and getting up at 5. Then work was nothing but problem after problem and meeting after meeting causing me to miss a 3 hour feeding and supplementation round. The meetings dragged on well past my normal workday close. I love my job and don’t mind this type of day. It is so much easier than a day in Iraq. The reason I mention it here is so that you understand why I didn’t feel like following through with my workout.
It was my wife’s day off of work today. We have been meeting at my office after work to do my workout. It has been great. It gives us time by ourselves away from the day to day house chaos. As I left my last meeting I went back to my office to find my wife sitting on the floor outside my locked office door. I felt bad that she had to wait on me, bad that she came to my office on her day off, and bad that I was thinking about how to break it to her that I just wanted to go home and watch tv.
She saved me from myself tonight. I survived the workout and even though I am wiped I have a bit of pride in the accomplishment. This workout was due entirely because of my wife’s love for me.
If you have a significant other, best friend, or workout partner that helps you on these types of days do something special for them. At the very least let them know when they save you from yourself!
