The Weight Loss Progress

So, I get my cruise at 135, right? Well, here's my friend, Michelle's scale. I weighed in at the YMCA today at 136. I had a witness. But, Rob says it doesn't count unless it happens on our scale here at home.
I have proof that this is not fair.

Rob won't budge. :P Oh well, I'll get there soon enough. Until then, I have a big decision to make. Michelle also has one of these.
So now, I have to decide between this, the cruise, and money for new camera equipment.... Oh, the choices.... At least I have a little extra time to think about it. With that evil scale and all... harumpf.

On a note... I don't want to forget this, so I will blog it. I love my sweet Rob. That's pretty obvious. Here is a little more glimpse as to why. When we were discussing the weight loss and such, I got to MY goal of 142 and asked, "What do you think?" He was honest with me. He said I could still lose a few more pounds. He encouraged me to not let good enough be my standard. And he is right. I didn't want to hear that, but I needed to. I may even lose more than the 135. I want to be healthy and fit. I love that we are secure enough that we can be completely honest and open. I know most women would not be able to hear that. But I can. I can because I know he is truthful. So when he added that he thinks I'm beautiful and he loves me at any weight, I can trust that as well.

Tonight, as we watch football like an old married couple on the couch and meal plan for next week, I told him how much I appreciate his honesty. I told him he was a big part of my motivation. More than any prize I will get. He then shared this with me. His motivation stems from a conversation we had a while back. I love how Rob "gets" me. Like the example above, he knows me. He loves me and he knows what to say and do to help me become my best. I feel so blessed to have that. I once told him that I was so glad he knows me so well because Suzy is just like me. I find great comfort in the fact that she will have an earthly father who knows her. Who loves her and who "gets" her. Even when I will not. He told me tonight that this conversations is one of his biggest motivators to get healthy. He wants to be here for our daughter. To understand her. To hold her hand through life when she needs someone to understand. That means more than my words could say. Granted, most women would like to hear that their husband will want to stay around for them.... but, I know he feels that way and it means more to me to hear it about my sweet Suzy. The spicy little girl that I don't always understand, because she's just too like me. :) Thank you, sweet Rob, for being the best friend, husband, daddy, etc.
