Spending Time With my Wife

I've been feeling pretty off for a little while.  I feel like my work and exercise has gotten in the way of my relationship with Anna.  Not a lot, mind you, but I feel like I've been pushing her back in my priorities.  I know it's important to do well at work.  And I know there's a reason for my keeping on track with my exercise.  And I know that Anna supports me in all that.  But sill, I feel like I'm not giving her enough quality time; not enough R&R with her.  Granted, one of the reasons I got in this predicament is because of my love for R&R, but there needs to be balance.  And I've never been very good with balance.  I'm an all or nothing kinda guy.  That's why I can't have junk food in my house (I'll eat all of it.  At once.).  That's why I don't really drink (too many times of too much--plus all the Calories!!).  But there are some things that can't be all or nothing.  And Anna's one of them.

So, while I worked late at the office today, I did pick up food for us on the way home and spend the evening with Anna tonight.  As a result, though, I didn't finish my exercise of going on my walk or jumping rope.  That makes for more work the next two days.  But that's fine (and if I don't complete my goals, I'll live).  It also emphasizes the need for me to get my butt out of bed and go on my walks in the morning.  This will ensure I have more time to spend with the love of my life. 

On another note, I'm pretty confident that I'll probably gain this week.  I don't want to, but I'm also not going to kill myself trying to hit a certain mark.  This journey has always been about becoming healthy.  Losing weight is just one arm of the quest (albeit a vital one).  SO it seems to me that if I'm living in an unhealthy way just to reach a lower number on the scale, I'm defeating myself.  Of course, I want both to happen (lose weight and be healthy), but doesn't happen all the time.  Even if it does happen 99% of the time.  Right?  Not too much to worry about.
