Sigh
Motivation has gone out the window this week. I'm getting my workouts done but its taking considerable effort to get started. My weight has gone up this week which may be the reason for this mood that I'm in. I'm not sure why my weight has increased, I wish I could blame hormones but unless there is Post Menstrual Tension I don't think I can use that excuse. Hubby and I have been arguing over my meals as well. Its difficult as he is the main cook in our house but he has been struggling with my diet. I think its time for me to take over cooking duties but that's just another thing I have to add to my to do list of an evening. I don't get to sit down until 9:30 at night as it is.

Hi Michelle, could you swap some duties with your husband so you don't feel like you are taking something additional on? Hope you manage to work something out.
Bummer that hubby is not "on board" with the comp prep meals...hope you get things worked out soon!
Thanks for the comments.
I think hubby is trying to come to terms with the how this comp is affecting him (not having take away, chips with every meal etc). He is trying hard to get it right but he doesn't 'get' eating clean. He doesn't eat any fruit or veg so its a bit of an uphill battle.
I wish I could get him to help out in other ways but the control freak in me just won't let it go. He does a totally crap job of cleaning up and I usually have to do it again when he's done.
No fruit or veges!!!!How does he survive. Could he just cook himself up some frozen chips to add to his meal?
My body is not letting go of the weight either. sucks big time. Just keep telling yourself its muscle increase because if that's the case you'll be losing weight again real soon.
I sympathise Michelle - I've been there. It took quite a while for my husband to get on board with the food thing. He was willing, just didn't quite get it. And we had all the huffing and sighing because he "couldn't" eat whatever crap he wanted.
So, how we get around it is - he still cooks most of the time, and I make sure we have individual packs of frozen vegies, big bags of baby spinach, stuff like that, so he can just add to my serve of whatever he's making. Or I make a salad to go with my meal; that only takes a minute or two. If he doesn't eat vegies, that's his problem.
And if he wants to have dim sims or sausage rolls and chips now and then, what do I care? I can always open a can of tuna, throw it in a salad and add some leftover sweet potato (there's ALWAYS leftover sweet potato, I make sure of that!), or something equally as quick.
As for doing over the housework because it isn't done to your standards, you need to get over that.... I did, eventually. Sometimes near enough IS good enough. You have to take care of YOU, and relaxing is all part of that.
Deb,
That will be my new mantra. Keep saying after me, "Its all just an increase in muscle. Its all just an increase in muscle ..."
Kek,
Its good to hear someone has gone through the same thing. We have the Steam Fresh vege pouches which has made it so much easier to prepare food. And, yes, I really need to get over the housework.
Thanks
