Let's Make a Deal

First of all, I'd like to wish you all a very Happy Holiday! I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas and got to spend it with loved ones.

Now that 2011 is winding down, I feel like I'm finally getting ahold of this whole fitness/eating right thing. It only took me 8 months!

That leads me to my blog title. As some of you know, I hate, HATE my husband's goatee. Yes, he had one when we met and I didn't like it then. I've been trying to get him to shave it off, but he keeps saying he wants something in return. Last night we were out for our 4th anniversary and I brought it up again. First I offered a baby in exchange for the shaving, but then I realized that I wouldn't get what I wanted for at least 9 months, and that wasn't good enough. Although he was willing to accept that deal and allow me to bring the razor to the hospital and he would do it right after the baby is born. Then I decided that I needed a little more motivation to keep working out and eating right. I said "If I lose one pant size, you shave the goatee." He said "Make it 2 sizes and you have a deal."

Now, my husband has NEVER asked me to lose weight for him, EVER. However, he has been a huge support to me and just wants me to be completely satisfied with myself. He knows that this deal pretty much just benefits me, but of course it means I'll be comfortable in my clothes and maybe will be wearing more of the stuff I used to wear in college.

So, it's on! When I officially lose 2 pant sizes, Bobby will shave off his goatee. I know there are several of you out there who want him to shave just as much as I do, so I need your support to keep up the Zumba workouts so I can make this happen sooner rather than later.
