How do you and your spouse help each other live healthy?

[Hipsterz]

Do you exercise together or eat healthy foods?

 

[FaithPrevails]

Yes and yes.

 

[c1ners]

I cook healthy meals for him and he won't over indulge me by allowing me to eat donuts when I'm sad. lol

 

[FaithPrevails]

I wish my hubby was like that. He will go and buy the donuts (or, usually, ice cream) FOR me.

 

[Lena75]

No matter how healthy I feed him he still sneaks in lots of chocolate bars in his lunch pail. Not to mention the coke he drinks! But he's not as bad as he used to be. I exercise, but he does so much walking and physical labour at work, he really doesn't need to do more on the side. Besides, he's one of those stick skinny dudes.

I wish...I am getting to the age I need to change my eating habits. I have no since of smell and that greatly affects my taste. I love salt and hot spicy things. My wife does not like me to cook due to this. It is kinda funny when one of the kids eat something I make and go running for water. lol

I convinced my wife to give up milk for soy milk. I also helped her cut down MAJORLY on drinking Pepsi. She was honetly addicted to it. I've also encouraged her to take up jogging.

We both eat fairly healthy foods (though DH has a sweet tooth), and we're both athletes. We work out on our own, though; it's pointless for us to work out together because of our very different abilities

 

[peteos]

My wife does most of the cooking and usually serves healthy stuff, and that usually becomes lunch for me the next day. Unfortunately since she started working she cooks less frequently and the healthiness has declined some, but not to much. We almost never eat any dessert.

We both work out every day; we're both gym rats, but we seldom go together because we have two kids so usually someone has to be home. Last year they were both in school so we coordinated sometimes to be there at the same time, but not so much this year because she's working. We share it though in that we talk about it ALL the time and I give her copious amounts of massages. (The habit of going every day is so ingrained in both of us that we don't have to encourage each other in that regard, indeed I usually have to counsel my wife to rest).

We're were both a little unhealthy, myself quite a bit more then my wife; is that we both drink at least a little every night (and I sometimes drink a lot). I'm tall, strong, and well in shape, but am about 12 pounds heavier then I want to be which I blame almost entirely on alcohol. Keeping me from a six pack.

 

[NiobiumTragedy]

We exercise together, whether it's walking at night or doing Tai Chi.

Eating habits are starting to change as she cooks more and we focus more on healthy things. It helps that neither of us are really into fried foods opting to bake instead.

I call my husband when it starts raining cats and dogs and tell him to "wear your seatbelt".(I think he says yes dear and doesnt..hence the tickets LOL)

I encourage him to get a pedicure..(dry splitting cracked heals)..hes rejected that idea..

OH one year I made him go for the "anal probe" check up Like a 40 year old man check up???..they didnt even do an anal probe ..So that didnt help..

Basically nothing.

I was off to my colonoscopy, and my wife asked, "honey, is there an option for it to be free range?"
I said what?
She said well, my friends talk about free range so much I thought everything would be better if its free range and cost 7 times the regular price.

I left.

 

[dallasapple]

Sometimes.you just don't want the probe/And you just dont..Its about that simple.....
Its like ..NO one is STICKING a PROBE up my orrifice!

The end..

I traded the Probe for the Vibe, you know, preferring foreign cars over domestic

I do appreciate your dry sick sarcasitc mentally ill wit.Because sometimes..your funny!!!!!Your humor is real to me ..I can richochet off of you easy..You seem to get me too on that one.

I've always been very health conscious, ever since I started having kids 27 years ago. I made whole wheat bread for us for many years, for example. I always cook things from scratch and abhor pre-packaged, processed yuck "food". So cute, during the years the kids were growing up, the big exciting thing of the day was "what did Mom make for dinner tonight".

Anyway, my husband has diabetes and now I really have to be careful for him. No matter how healthily I cook, though, he often manages to ingest junk food. And since he started taking insulin shots a couple of years ago, now sometimes his sugar gets too LOW and he crashes, so I have to have a few sweet things around for those instances. It's a constant balancing act.

My husband has diabetes too.Diagnosed about a year ago..Not insulin dependent ..he takes meds and HE eats right now...

We eat very well, not that we watch our fat or sugar intake, but the majority 70-80% of each meal was made, grown, harvested or preserved on my families farm.
We grow chicken, beef and lamb.
Two huge veg. gardens which I help can and preserve all fall.
And root veg (carrots/potatoes/onions) that are still good from the garden.

So we eat mostly "organic" as we're doing all the work ourselves and know exactly whats in our food, or was fed to our food.

Peace,
