Re: Flamefree Friday Confessionals

  • I feel kinda bad but it has really has been bugging me lately that H never goes to the gym.  I'm not the most athletic person in the world but I try to make it to the gym at least a few times a week.  It's important to me to stay healthy and for H to be healthy, too.  He just eats crap all day until we have a healthy meal at home. It especially bugs me because we're both paying for a membership every month.  We're watching our money pretty close right now because of closing on the house. And he NEVER goes to the gym, like he hasn't gone for months...I feel like it's such a waste of money. We're in a contract so he can't just cancel without a lot of fees. I wish he would just use it!

    I don't know what else to do to try and get him to go, too. I've tried making it a point to ask him to come with me after work and he doesn't bring his gym clothes or makes up an excuse of something he has to do. I've told him how it bugs me that we're wasting money and it's important to me that we both stay healthy and he brushes it off. I don't think there's anything else I can do.  Should I just give up? Am I being unreasonable? Bc if I am I'll just leave it alone from now on...I know it's not the biggest deal in the world but it bugs me.

    That's tough. I'm grateful that H is a gym person but that's because he's in the military. I am most definitely not. H has NEVER pushed me about my weight or getting in shape. I have asked his help a couple times to train me to run or exercise at home but if I drop it he doesn't push. I have always wanted to be a skinny b-word but exercising is just so hard for me.

    My problem is that I don't have the motivation really, not that I just don't want to. I feel guilty that I don't work out very much at all.

    Perhaps you can ask him what is it about the gym that he seems adverse to? Or is it exercising in general? If he really hates it, maybe you guys can find a different way? 

     MY confession is that I got stung by a bee as soon as I got to work yesterday. I had to go to the hospital because I'm allergic to all other insect bites. I'm SO happy that I also got to go home after because it stung me on my right hand side of my back/neck so my arm was pretty useless because of the pain. I am so glad I got out of work yesterday and especially since it's workers comp and they are paying for it!

  • Yea I think he's just being lazy and doesn't like to go in general. I'm just going to let it go. I haven't mentioned it in awhile.

    I'm sorry you got stung by a bee but it must have been super nice to be able to get out of work on a Friday. How's your arm feeling after a few days?  I hope you're doing better!

    It sucks that his membership is being wasted. Maybe you guys can take nature walks? Buy a hula hoop? Wii Fitness?

    My arm feels fine now. The sting site is itchy and sore still so I just have to keep taking all my medication and not lean on it at all.

    Yea, the money right now is what is making me the most mad about it. Hopefully he'll start to get some motivation.

    I'm happy to hear it's feeling better! Hopefully it won't be sore too much longer.
