Good morning! It's actually finally a pretty day here, so going shopping at target for a few cotton t shirts for our vacation. Then hoping to spend some time outside getting a little sun.

First off I'm so very jealous. Second I had to read that twice because I thought it said vaccume not vacation. I was really confused for a moment
DH came to me yesterday and told me he's put on 20lbs in the last 2yrs and he wants to lose it. First, I had no idea. Second, I don't know why he tells me this and then sits down to share my bag of chips (It was a treat.)
I don't cook unhealthy food and I (almost) never make junk available to him. I'm having to put extra effort into keeping my weight up so that I can continue to BF.
I woke up this am and he's playing video games when he could be out for a walk.
I don't really get why he told me or what he wants me to do about it.

Morning all! H and I are going grocery shopping then having a lazy day. It's not raining yet but is supposed to all day. I think it will be a wine and movie day until GoT tonight!
Hey! I wish it wasn't Sunday... I don't feel like going back to work tomorrow...
Tomorrow begins MH's summer schedule. This means we have to get up an hour earlier (boo!) since he needs to go to work an hour earlier (boo) and he has to work an hour later (boo). However switching to ten hour days has a perk. He gets 3 day weekends until October/Novemberish.

Changes will happen mentally first. The need and desire to lose weight is a huge factor. That's awesome. However, the motivation to actually workout and eat better is very hard. I struggle with this. Eating is habitual and routines are set. It will take a while for him to change his eating habits and routines. However, knowing you need a change and telling someone is a good place to start.
I think you nailed this. MH has been wanting to eat healthier for a long time. But he is a creature of habit (and so am I) and will always choose his standby foods. I've had to stop buying certain foods entirely because in our house we will ALWAYS go with the easier option. I don't buy frozen foods or tv dinners at all anymore. (Unless it's frozen veggies).
I went for a run before the rain started and now I'm back in pjs reading while H games. We had lots of fun plans for the day, but going out in the rain sounds stupid. Biding my time til GoT tonight!

My mom is coming over for a little bit just to say Hi since she is in the area for something else, she should be here soon. I had to hide everything TTC related around the house, the prenatals, the thermometer, my metformin.... she has no idea of what is going on. We are probably doing some yard work later. I also need to get some laundry done. Also GOT tonight!!!

Laying on the couch watching Catfish, I so need to get up and start getting dressed since we are off to visit with friends in an hour or so...feeling super lazy.
I don't really get why he told me or what he wants me to do about it.
This makes me sad. He told you because you're his wife, he was sharing his goals, and his sadness about putting on weight.
You don't have to do anything but be supportive and listen.
That's a good point. I was looking at it though the wrong perspective at first; that he was complaining to me and he wanted me to fix it for him. Long history behind that, but it isn't who he is.
I can be supportive of his desire to change for the better.

We did a butt ton of yard work this morning and now my head feels like it's going to explode :/
I'm sorry, feel better.
H & I are supposed to start doing some yard work soon. I think we're both avoiding it for now, we're both sitting on the couch watching play off hockey.
Just added a countdown to my google calendar - 7 weeks until summer vacation. Can't come soon enough! I keep reminding myself that these last 7 weeks will fly by as usually it's a crapshoot anyway. Tons of field trips, events and fun stuff to look forward to. Everyone is usually in a better mood, blossoms come out... Ahhh, can't wait!
Today I have some laundry to finish up, house tidying to do and then... GoT!!!! I'm so excited to see Arya's story unfold
