Yup, he is, my Husband who has not been on a "team" for as long as I've known him has been invited to play on an indoor soccer team.
Now, yes, my husband is a sports FANATIC, he watches every type there is....when it came to soccer that was one I actually never saw him actually get into until....................
our kids started playing. Now he coaches both Mom Jr. and Jr.'s team and D is coached by one of our friends (see we swapped we coach his daughter along with ours and he coaches D along with his boys).
I do see him watching it, reading about it, even having me record certain games. I thought that was as far as it was going to go. Well, my Birthday Buddy's husband asked him to join an indoor soccer team. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he's doing it, good exercise, nice to get out, have fun at the same time with friends...
WAIT!!!! What?!?! He's going to start doing what?!?!? NNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
EXERCISE!!!! Man, now I have no choice, no more excuses, tired- too bad, no time-better find it, leg hurts-wrap it!!!
It's a known fact men lose weight faster than women, especially 30 somethin' women, when it has been said our metabolism has slown down.
I can just see it, you know that commercial where the husband and wife are both trying to lose weight, they start some diet pill method - he loses like 40 pounds and there's the wife still looking like she swallowed a beach ball, you know carrying all that extra baby weight from 10 years ago-it just kept accumulating on her body with each child she had (totally understand that one!! Remember I have four!). Oh, don't get me wrong she lost weight also, come on, she did start taking those magic diet pills just like her husband after all. Yes, she did, she lost a total of 5 pounds!! That's right we really can't tell but that's what the scale said (you know that's just water weight right?!?).
Well, that can't be me!! Husband is going to start working out getting ready for this team he's joining (not to mention he has a competitive streak so he's going to try that much harder), you can bet my a** is going to work probably twice as hard!!
We are planning on taking a family picture for Christmas this year, the last time we did that D was a baby and I must say I was pretty happy with my size at the time (don't know what happened, blame it on age, stress, that extra glass of wine, whatever ), point is I don't want to be Mrs. Claus in the picture while my beautiful, healthy children are in good shape posed nicely along their Dad who I'm sure will look great in shape!
So, I have a choice I can pose as Mrs. Claus in the picture or get busy so that I can be just as happy as my family will be in the picture.....
Hmmmm, what do you possibly think I'm going to do?!?!?
Just a Mom who is embarking on a new mission..........................
