If that’s not Support I don’t know what is…
Posted Under: Other Stuff
I just have to say that my boyfriend is so wonderful in so many ways. He has been very supportive in my trials to lose weight, but last night he definitely tipped the scale when it comes to supporting me in this.
Now T.Love is a funny guy, and he makes me laugh every moment that I am with him, but last night was hilarious. You see, I am VERY good at talking myself out of working out, it is a SERIOUS flaw of mine. Especially when the roads are bad because I don’t like to drive anywhere even when it’s nice out. SO. Last night, I was very wishy washy about working out to one of my videos, trying to justify it that I really didn’t need to workout, even though I skipped the 2 nights before as well. I mean, come on, I can lose just as much weight sitting on my ass, right? RIGHT? Ok, maybe not, but that’s where my wonderful, oh so supportive, guy comes in. He basically made me do my video, AND, he did it with me… And this wasn’t any manly P90X video or even a Billy Blanks tae bo tape, it was my very girly, very dancy, Bikini Body Boot Camp DVD from Shape Magazine, and he did it all! And boy I wish I video taped it. It was so funny watching him do the girly dance type moves. No complaints either. And it doesn’t end there. Twenty minutes into the video I decided I couldn’t do anymore, I was dying! But, NOOOOOO, Mr. Supportive over here wanted to keep going (even though I could tell it was kicking his butt too). So, I couldn’t bare to watch him finish MY video without ME, so I had to jump back in, and lo and behold I made it to the end. If he wasn’t busting his butt with me, I would not have finished. I did the same video last week and quit 17 minutes into it then too. It really is a tough video.
I’m so glad he did that, that he did the video with me. Like I said, I’m very convincing when it comes to talking myself out of a workout. Now I feel like I can still reach my goal of 4 workouts this week. I love him, and I couldn’t do this without his support and encouragement.

Hey best wishes on your weight loss efforts! I am on that road as well. I have a friend who has a contest that just started this week that might help with motivation and her blog is quite hilarious too! I thought I’d share the information in case your interested. She’s even got prizes for the winner: http://4thfrog.blogspot.com/2009/01/are-you-this-blogs-biggest-loser.html
OMG…I wish I could have been a fly on he wall. But I might have died from laughter…
My hubby’s always shadow boxing around me when I’m doing Tae Bo! We don’t really have space for both of us to do the workout, but he does walk with me sometimes (although he’s actually a runner).
Your guy is awesome!! Mad props to him (and you)!
What a great boyfriend!
and good for you doing the whole video, too.
AND a belated welcome to HYC!
