I’ve been reading your blog for a little while now and I absolutely love it. My fiance works his butt off to support me and take care of me and my place is without a doubt in our house – I love taking care of him, making sure the house is in good shape and he always has his favourite foods.
Anyways, the whole point of my email is I don’t feel like I’m as good of a fiance as I should be. I’m a university student so I’ve gotten very used to sweatpants and kraft dinner, which isn’t what I was like at all when we met. I feel like I’m trapped in a rut of not getting myself looking good every day, and not taking care of him as well as I should be. The problem is I don’t know where to start anymore – it feels like looking good and losing weight is too overwhelming and I just can’t be bothered to start. You’re the only person (even though I don’t know you) that I could think of that would even remotely understand all this rambling. I was just hoping you would have a little advice or some other websites you like, anything to help me out.
Thanks
THE WIFE Answered –
My first Words of Advice are… Make sure you are doing all of this for YOU and that YOU are happy doing these things for your fiance. After that it’s all down hill, Nothing is more inspired then self motivation.
Start Slow… Find a form of exercise that you like, that excites you to get up and go. For Example… If you liked tennis in school, start playing tennis twice a week with friends or if you were a dancer as a kid, look into Dance classes. You mentioned you attend University. Most Universities offer Tons of Physical Activity courses… Next Semester try a Step Aerobics class ( I took this in College with a friend and we had a blast ) or take advantage of the Free Gym on campus.
As for Cooking… Start off cooking 2 or 3 times and week and go from there. Search for Reciepes that you find intersting, but are also easy to make, so you don’t get overwhelmed. I love the magazine ‘Everyday Food’ by Martha Stewart or Try their website www.marthastewart.com/everyday. On the website the have a blog for Simple Daily Dinner ideas. Another Great way to get Inspired is to find a grocery store that Inspires you… Shop at the local Farms Market or I love to go to more Unique Grocery Stores like Bristol Farms or Dean and Deluca and wander around for Ideas.
And Last But not least Clothes!…. Below are some great styling tips from Gwenyth Paltrow’s Website www.Goop.Com and Some other great websites I look at daily, to keep up with fashion and to get great outfit ideas are www.WhoWhatWearDaily.Com and www.Style.Com And of Course Monthly doses of Vogue, English Vogue and Elle Magazine
And most of all…. stick to a routine!
