Re: Of husbands and work-outs

[Guest guest]

Yes I did snag a good man. And the way we met is just too funny. I

was sick(implants) and depressed and on line downloading about 30

songs on a site called Napster. Then I got this instant message from

this guy and he starts asking me all these questions about the music

I was getting from him. We liked all the same stuff, it was funny. He

started telling me about his car, hot rod, old one, and then I

started telling him about my old hot rod, and then he asked me my

email address and he sent me this email and it was so weird it was

like he was in love with me or something. At first I thought it was

freaky, but we kept talking and talking and then sending pics of

eachother. this went on around 3 months and finally we met, he came

to SF and we spent the weekend together. After that I new I had met

the man I would marry, there were many obsicals, including explant in

the future, but 4 months after my surgery he and I were married In

nevada, hee hee. We have been married now over 3 years and i could

not imagine in my wildest dreams a better or happier relationship. I

was married before and also in a long term live in relationship that

was emotionally very abusive. Anyhow I feel after all I went through

with men, I was deserving of this gift. I have never known a man like

my husband and it still is funny trying to find anything wrong with

him. I have actually tried and the only thing I can come up with is

that he is more religious than me, and frugal about grocery shopping.

hee hee. I am serious this man is amazing, but part of it is his

background, very religious, only been with one other woman in his

whole life, and waited to get married to have sex etc.

Anyhow yeah I brag a little, I am sorry, but heck, I just wish that

everyone could find someone to treat them like this man treats me. It

seems so easy now, i used to think I had a problem because I was

always fighting with men, but now I realize it was NOT ME, it was

them, because and I never fight ha ha, oh well. enough out of me.

I am sorry about your hubby's injury, he is very blessed to be alive.

AND 5'10 123 pounds, wow your really lean, I almost weigh that much

and I am way shorter than you. But I do tend to carry allot of muscle.

I am happy with my body, I don't think I want to be any smaller than

a size 2 or 3, a zero might be a touch to skinny for me.

Anyhow girl, great job on the working out. Do you think that the

working out is helping you to get well from implants? I really

believe that it was instumental in my recovery so i try to push it on

people, probably to the point of being obnoxious, but it is kind of

like when you find a cure for a disease you want to hurry and share

it right!

anyhow hugs to you

and have always weighed around 123, except when I really built up

muscle, which I seem to do quite quickly. I LOVE weight training, but

try and balance it with aerobic work-outs, which I'm now doing 3 x a

week, weights 3 x a week. I'm still taking it easy, explant was only

4 weeks ago, so my sessions are not very long, about 35-40 minutes.

On days when I feel less energetic I just walk fast on the treadmill,

but it all seems to help a great deal. I appreciate your offer of

advice, you're very kind. I'm sure the last pounds will go

eventually, or, more likely, I'll replace them with muscle weight.

Either way's fine by me, it's just soooo nice to fit into my old

Levis again !

incorrectly has just inspired me more to avoid sugars and bad fats

along with refined carbs. I can't believe how radically my diet has

changed over the past 3 years, all for the better, and it wasn't

really such a struggle. I've also managed to stop focusing on food as

comfort, companionship etc., now it's just food, not the highlight of

my day ! I can't take credit for it though, balancing my brain

chemicals has had everything to do with this ! I just don't want the

bad stuff any more, don't feel the need to constantly be eating like

I used to. I used to be able to finish off a big bag of crisps all by

myself, now I can't stand the stuff ! It's all very weird, and

wonderful too ! PAtty and the other girls here have done so much to

educate me and support me through the nightmare that my life had

become.
