Say Whhhhhat?

I am in love……with chocolate and I will NEVER completely take it out of my diet.  I don’t eat wheat, dairy, processed or refined foods, fake sweeteners, don’t drink coffee, only drink water, I eat organic whole foods 6 times every day and live at the gym.  I only eat chocolate every few weeks and the chocolate I choose to eat is good quality (usually organic) and dark……..sometimes dark chocolate covered almonds…….and I enjoy every stinkin’ bite.   AND I don’t feel one damn bit bad about it nor will I ever.  Sure, I have goals and my chocolate binge every few weeks may be setting me back BUT I’m okay with that.  I love being happy and chocolate sure does make me happy

I am married to a wonderful man who just doesn’t love the gym like I do. He supports me and listens to my muscle talk (except I’m also a geek so he gets technical terms, lol) and he feels my muscles for me everytime I ask him if my ‘fill in the blank’ muscle is getting bigger……he’s the only person I can do that to, God love him (and he only rolls his eyes every other time I ask).

As much as I would love for him to go to the gym and workout I can’t force him and that would only put an unnecessary strain on our relationship. I have to be supportive of him in the same way that he is of me……he works hard (just put me through school so I could combine my personal training with holistic nutrition) and is an awesome father to our girls. It would be amazing if he was as passionate about fitness as I was….but he’s not. I’d only make myself miserable if I dwelled on it.  

When I go to the gym on the weekend, he stays home with the girls and makes them chocolate chip pancakes ‘from scratch’, mows the lawn, vacuums, does the dishes and gets a few loads of laundry done. If he came to the gym with me, how the heck would all that stuff get done? lol
