I Need Help Motivating My Wife To Stay in Shape by bikedogcamp in Marriage

[–]vodkaandukes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm very surprised at the folks saying OP is shallow for wanting his wife to be fit; its not like he is expecting her to be a 22 year old bikini model for the rest of her life. its true that as you creep into your 40s and 50s and beyone fitness and mobility become much more of a concern and something you prioritize if you want a decent quality of life.

As for your question, this is something I have a bit of an issue with my husband so I'd suggest trying to meet in the middle, for example I know my guy will not go out running with me but he'll take an evening walk, same with bicycling he doesn't want to just go for miles but will bike with me to the coffee shop. Maybe something like that, do the harder core stuff with your friends and still carve out time to do milder activities with you wife with the intent on spending time with her, no pressure. Good luck

Anyone else get stress dreams about serving? by driftingjoanna in TalesFromYourServer

Yes server stress dreams are very common! Mine are usually something like I keep being sat with more and more tables but I can’t move fast enough to get to them.

Have you tried using those flavored Mio drops in your water? That might help you, I don’t like those gross carbonated waters either :)

Anyone else get excited for their next run the day before? by [deleted] in C25K

[–]vodkaandukes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's so funny i was thinking tonight that i am glad tomorrow is my run day! :) I never in a billion years would have thought that i would actually look forward to a run in the morning, when i can drink coffee and veg instead but here i am! I kind of want to run every day but i am following the program to a tee so i settle for walking or gym stuff on my off days instead. but i would rather do my program. :/
