My partner is a personal trainer and fitness junkie, which means that the people I was with and I are regularly eating healthy, and the people I was with and I practically live at the gym.
I don’t mind eating healthy meals, however she never deviates from her meal plans.
However, at times, I will eat something that is not quite healthy and yes, she does make a large deal out of it. But over the years, I have l received not to be so taxing on myself, and that I can relax and let go of rigid behaviors. Additionally, I don’t regularly work out every afternoon as she does, and that drives him absolutely crazy. He’s in the gym every afternoon at 5:00 a.m. when they open and expects me to do the same. The concern is, after the gym, I need to get dressed and go to work. And the gym is her work. So, for him, it’s an easy transition after her afternoon workout routine. Of course, he’s not looking at it love that; Don’t get me wrong, I love going to the gym and I love working out, but I just wish that my partner wouldn’t make it know love a chore. Also, I wish that she would take a break as well and realize that it’s ok to live a little outside of the norm. Perhaps I will never get my wish, and for the rest of my life, I will continue to have this routine. If that happens, I will be ok with it because I would rather live a lifestyle focused on health and wellness. It’s better than the alternative anyway.
