What makes the FatWife different than SkinnyHusband? I ask myself that question all the time.
He never stops moving. When SkinnyHusband was ChubbyBoyfriend, he would complain if I wanted to do something like go for a walk. SkinnyHusband works out all the time. FatWife does not. Even when he's not working out, he's doing something active like cutting the grass. We have about an acre and a push mower that weighs about 100lbs.
SkinnyHusband works an active job, on his feet all day lifting heavy metal and moving heavy metal or substances. I work a sedentary job. He gets home and does an hour of cardio or circuit training. I get home and read a book or play on my computer. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a super sloth. I tend to go walking during lunch of after work a few times a week but after I finish, I'm tired. He seems to get tired around 8pm after his workout, yardwork, and cooking his dinner.
In order to burn more calories, I have to increase energy output. I have to find a way to get little calorie burning moments in throughout the day. In my current condition, I cannot run without causing issues to my joint or my heels. I don't have the stamina to last very long with any task.
I often tell pregnant moms I work with to try walking 10 minutes after each meals to get their 30 minutes in for the day...maybe I could start with that technique? I could park further from stores. I could try to walk in between clients at least 2-3 laps around the office?
Now I just have to implement the ideas.
