Crazy Wild Fantastic Journey

This morning Michelle forgot her make-up bag. She had an eight AM training appointment and then left straight for work. Michelle, my Michelle, went all day with just the odds of make-up tumbling around in the bottom of her purse. I'm lead to believe this is somewhat akin to me walking around all day with only one shoe. The difference is; Michelle always looks great and I would look totally ridiculous with only one shoe.

My work day starts at 6:00 AM. I don't have much opportunity for morning workouts, at least not during the week. I suppose it's possible, but I'm not about to get up one minute earlier than I absolutely necessary. Tonight was my typical swim & spin workout. Michelle is trying to 'nudge' me towards more of a lifting or power based workout. The fact that my lovely wife knows what a power workout is, is a little unsettling. The fact that she does power workouts and is chiding me for not; that's just wrong.

When Michelle and I first talked about weight loss surgery, she said only if we did it together. She was all in. Changes in diet, exercise, lifestyle; Michelle has been locked with me every step of the way. To the point where my sweet wife is pushing me on the weights; again, that's just wrong.

It's been a crazing, wild, fantastic journey so far. It's been all the better because we've done it together. The most exciting thing to me is, we've just started. It's been less than four months since I had weight loss surgery. I can't even image what the next four months will bring.

Stay tuned. We'll find out together.
