So Amber and I have a little deal going that involves out health. So I figured the easiest way to figure out how well I am doing is to write a little blog about that which I eat each day and also about how much I exercise. But First I want to bring y'all up to speed about what this little deal entails and how it came to be.
Amber really wants us to be healthy, and quite honestly so do I. The problem being is that I don't have anywhere the will power or the ability to push myself that Amber has. She is amazing in this sense. She can start running and just keep on going, she hits that wall and just pushes through it. It really is amazing... I on the other hand am just the opposite, I hit that wall and I drop dead. I am done. I am out for the count. This is a huge problem for our health in general.
So Amber had this stroke of brilliance. She said that instead of betting on ourselves we would bet on the other person, so if she won I would get something I wanted and if I won she would get something that she wanted. I loved this idea, because I am much better about doing things for other people than doing things for myself. It is hard to sacrifice or push myself for me, but easy for me to sacrifice and push myself for someone else. So we decided that is what we would do, then we would both be pushing ourselves and we could make some really useful changes in our lives.
Well then Amber threw another problem into the mix. Doing something for someone else is all great and dandy, but then she said that what I would be working for is for us to adopt our first child instead of conceiving out first child, which I wasn't to keen on because I think if we adopt first Amber wouldn't ever want us to conceive a child just adopt after that. And I love the idea of adoption but I also want a couple of kids that we conceive, to see what they are like.
So we changed it back, if she wins we adopt first. If I win we get a 70 inch LCD TV, or bigger... so let's see how this goes. Hopefully I waste her and lose 50 pounds, but who knows we will have to see.
