My wife speaks the truth...finally!!

[Vicious cycle]

We were at the dinner table and she looked at me and said, "I'm happy with the weight I've lost from dieting (down 10lbs from pre-pregnancy weight), but I don't think I'm going to look the way I want to without lifting weights."

She didn't know it when she said it, but she spoke a truth. Dieting alone won't do it and lifting alone won't do it. It has to be a planned moderation of both.

No amount of me asking her to lift could have the same impact as her realization that she needs to lift. Made me happy.

Just thought i'd share.

Oh God, I love it. That never happens. I think that made my day (yes, that's sad). My favorite is when girls say they don't want to get too big. I then respond with how many big guys do you know? They say maybe 1 or 2. I then ask them how many guys they know that lift, it's always a bunch. I then explain guys have way more test than females and that it is still difficult for most to get any size. That's a breath of fresh air. Congratulations!

Your a brave man if you have been asking your woman to diet and train. Not many men have the balls to do that. Especially with the unpredictable responses/reactions you can get from women on such subjects.

Good for you!

a freind of mine who is a tiny as they get (surfer combined with a terrible no protien diet) and when we went to the gym 1 TIME he was all worried after we left and was asking me "hey im not gonna wake up tomrrow and lose my neck, like a football player am i? i swear i wanted to hit him for saying that.

Vicious -- that's great that your wife wants to get involved with weight training. It's made a difference in my appearance!!

I love too, when I'm at the gym & I'm lifting as heavy as or more than some guys or putting all these 45s on the squat rack -- the cardio clowns all look at me & watch. It's a great feeling being strong!!

i was loungin with this chic tonight when she asked me what i really think of the way she looked.

so i said:

"darling, god has given you beauty but you're not maximizing your potential. drop 15 pounds of fat and you'd look unreal."

she got up and left.

oh well..... she woulda made me miss my nightly cardio routine.
