Yes, I'd say my husband is a keeper. ;) I do believe we need to take responsibility for properly caring for our bodies. We need to do those things to keep ourselves healthy in body, mind, and soul as best we can. But my beliefs would also tell me that in the end, it's really not all about ME. The world doesn't spin around ME! Hmm, this has the potential to get kinda deep here! :) MizFit,

There are so many other positive things in life that to spend a majority of my time obsessed with having a perfect looking body is like showing disrespect to all the wonderful blessings I've been given. Sounds like you've got a good man too. Hey, right there! A wonderful husband; that's one of those blessings! :) Well said, Mrs. Micah.

Micah tells me the same thing sometimes (that I'm hot and beautiful and he'd think I was hot even if I weighed more) and it makes me very happy. My body isn't airbrushed and I can get quite frustrated about that. But you're right...we have to live now. I don't know if I'll ever be fitter or hotter, but that's ok because it's not like it's affecting my quality of life or how my husband feels about me. Even then I'd still have to live and enjoy my life while working on my goals. It's just nice that I don't have to worry about ill-health or lack of love. Now I just have to remember this.

I definitely want to look thin and toned. I would be lying if I said the way I look meant nothing to me! I'm just trying to not make it the most important. :) I say good for you for being toned and feeling pretty good about that! Teasing is not funny, Hubby!!! No teasing in this area!!! ;) <strong>JoLynn,</strong> You're very welcome! Yes! The Blog Party is crazy this year! I know I'm not going to be able to visit every blog, but it's still lots of fun! :) Emily,

And, I just saw that you are also partying at the Ultimate Blog Party! I've been going through the list but didn't get to your's yet (I started from the bottom - can you believe there are over 1400 of us partying now, wow!!). Hi Susan,

And you know, I think it is totally natural to feel that health, nutrition and exercise is more than how your body looks but still get down from time to time. Good for hubby cheering you up! I actually find that after I work out, even though it isn't possibly true, that I look better :) The other day, I decided to really get started on working out regularly again. My cardio pilates DVD promises to tone me up, so I had the idea to take photos of me now and then again in a month so I can see progress even though in a month I may not otherwise have noticed the changes. I was scanning through the pics I took and said to hubby "you know, I already look pretty toned" and he says "everybody could use some more toning though". Okay, thanks for that! *slap* Says mr. beer belly himself. I'm rambling. My point is I totally agree it is about more than how we look but we wouldn't be females in today's society if we didn't love the side effect of looking good too. Keep up the good work! Great post!
