…SALUTE YOU!  Yep.  When HE finds out what I’ve done, HE is going to come home and throttle me.  Oh but it is worth it, he he he!!

Here is the REAL reason I am losing weight.  It is not for some fantastic health or holy or highly intelligent reason.  It is not because my knees needed relief.  It is not because I had a huge wake-up call.  These are all good reasons, really.  But my real, hidden, deep down #1 reason for losing the excess weight???

Here, I’ll show you.  But please don’t tell Alpha Hubby what I’ve done.  I had to browbeat him and whine and beg to get the first picture, then sneak up on him to get the second picture.  I promised him I wouldn’t do anything with the pictures.  Baby?  I lied.  I’m sorry.  But the truth must be told.  After all, being honest about losing weight is vital!  HERE, here is the REAL reason why I am losing the weight:

Yes, it is true,  I’m just *sigh* in love with his arms that have held and protected me for 15 years.  He has worked on losing weight and getting as healthy as possible for the past 3 years.  He looks mighty fine.  And he’s romantic and macho (in a good way) and domineering (but I can handle it) and passionate (Ooo baby!) and pure 100 percent MAN.  And he wants me to be proud of him.  Wow.

I want to look good for him like he’s worked on looking good for me.  I want to make him proud.  I want to be healthy and fit and looking fine in my little black dress, just for him!  THAT is why I don’t quit and why I will make it this time. 

I am so blessed he’s in my life, and he is why I (mis)-quote* Winnie the Pooh:

“If you live to be 120, I hope I live to be 120 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you.”

   Oh my.  Yep, I’m easy.  And if you never hear from me again, you’ll know why… 
    but it was worth it.
