We had a "talk" on Sunday - apparently he thinks I am making him lose weight...
Yeah, poor baby! I really feel for you.
Ahem, anyway, he said my dinners are causing him to lose weight.
WTF? Really?
He is 145lbs - on a GOOD day, soaking wet, holding a wet towel.
He also has the metabolism of a hummingbird on crack...no joke, I live with this!
Yes, my dinners are high protein, medium carb and low fat.
BUT...
He eats a double portion or more at dinner, which is P-L-E-N-T-Y of nutrition.
We had a knock-down, drag-out over this - he was CONVINCED my one meal a day (dinner) is why he hasn't been putting on weight.
He spouted a bunch of garbage about how he "doesn't need to eat like me"...blah, blah, blah.
Don't get me wrong - I "listened"...but then I SPOKE!
Since we have been married (5.5 years) he no longer requires cholesterol meds, his HDL/LDL are amazing.
His blood pressure is super and he has a healthy blood sugar level.
BUT he also only eats...one...meal...a...day.
You heard me.
So, we had a talk.
YOU NEED CALORIES - 2500 of them - at least, everyday!
And he "heard" me.(angels singing, harps playing)
We agreed.
It CAN be simple.
He complains he has no time, like I do, to eat during the day.
So...Gladiator Protein Powder to the rescue.
He does a 500 calorie protein shake with whole milk when he gets up.
Workouts out at the Y and the downs another 500 shake after the gym while driving to work.
We bought lunches (pre-made packaged meals, I know but it's better than nothing) for the entire week, that he can heat up at work.
I still cook our dinners as before, AND he does another shake at 9pm.
It's been 2 days and I can already tell a difference.
He is less irritable, he has slept and he isn't snacking on CRAP!
Only time will tell...AND the scales!
