That is apparently advice my dear husband has never learned! 🙂
You know that we’re on this weight loss plan and we have a health coach. When we initially signed up for this plan, Vince asked that we be put on the same team. I said NO! But, we’re on the same team, same health coach.
Once when Vince gained a few pounds, he wrote the coach and told her that I held him down and forced brownies down his throat . . which I, of course, denied. Half the time when she sends out private emails asking us questions, he gives her some crazy response. He is definitely the class clown. The other night she asked if there was a song or phrase that we would use to describe our weight loss process and he wrote back “Do you Want Fries with That?” by Tim McGraw. Have you heard that song? If not, look it up. You will crack up thinking about Vince telling her that was his theme song. Where did that come from?
He’s always making up weird stuff and telling her that’s what he ate. One night he told her I made tiramisu. I don’t even like that and I doubt I would ever make it. I wrote her and told her not to believe anything he says! It’s all joking and she knows it. He’s now lost 40 pounds and she told him that so long as he’s losing that kind of weight, he can just keep eating all those crazy things he says he’s eating.
Cake & Brownie Muffins
Last night . . he told her he had cake, brownies and Kahlua & cream . . which he did. I had the same thing except I didn’t eat a brownie muffin and you can bet I didn’t tell her I had any of that stuff. She wrote back something like “You’re so funny!”.
What do you think he did next?
He said “No! REALLY!” and sent her the link to my blog showing that I made a cake and brownie muffins. I told him . . you’ve done it now! One of two things will happen:
- I will not bake anything again while we’re on this plan.
- I will bake what I like while you’re at work and hide it so you never know it’s here!
Then I get this from the coach:
You know your hubby has been telling on you and sending me links to your blog. 😉
The beauty of this plan, assuming your husband doesn’t go telling all your secrets, is that we can eat healthy, smaller portions and still have the occasional treats.
Men! You try to do something nice for them and see where it gets you? 🙂
Not only will I have to hide what I make from Vince but I won’t be able to write about it on the blog because he’ll find it and tell the authorities! 🙂

Tha little stinker! lol.
He won’t have to report again, now the coach has her own window into your activities. You’ll need codes for your regular readers…when you knit, write you’re doing indoor exercise!! haha.

Can you block Vince from being able to access your blog?!! HAHA He is naughty and doesn’t deserve your goodies. Maybe he needs blah diet food for a week and he’ll behave? I doubt it

So funny! From the title of this post I thought that Cat might have taken a nip out of you. Nope, just Vince!
IF (a BIG if!) I was to start trying to lose some weight, what would be your two biggest suggestions? I, like you, love my soda (although, my drink of choice is Coke). I rarely exercise (although I have been shoveling a lot of snow!). I’m not a huge fan of cooking great meals like you do (however, my husband is ready and willing to do so and he has purchased many of the kitchen items you have reviewed). Anyway, there is just so much to change! Do you have a suggestion for the smallest thing that I could do that would make a difference?
Thanks, Judy!

I want to hear what you tell Tricia!! I’m in the same situation.
Rebecca in SoCal says
Oh, you two! You must be entertaining for your coach.
Bottom line: you’re both losing weight! 😀
But with the blog open to everyone, I guess we won’t get confessions, like if you actually HAVE a Dr. Pepper. Big congratulations on giving that up (even if it’s “one day at a time”.)

Oh, this is ripe for psychological profiling of Vince. LOL

Too, too funny!!

You have to love him.
