[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I'm aware that I should be supportive of my DH, who is training for his first Ironman, but I'm so so over it. The long training, the constant discussion, the diet judgements. Plus because he is working out so much, we have had to adjust our schedule to meet his training, meaning I am not able to work out (I work out a normal amount, not 4 hours per day amount) regularly, which he just is annoying about. Ironman widows or ladies who have done this, help. Seriously. I find myself rebelling by eating cookies at work. I just want a glass of wine and a bowl of pasta once in a while! I want to go for a run without feeling like I am lame for only doing 5-6 miles. I am tired of the all-health all the time. This might make me terrible, but I am complaining anyway.

Who else is a workout widow? Help me deal with this? [/quote]

Why no wine or pasta?  I do triathlons and marathons and I inhale some pasta, especially on a Friday night when I'm gearing up for a long Saturday morning training run.

No wine? say what? One of the bennies of excessive exercise is that I can indulge in excessive calories and burn it right off.

Your DH sounds like he has some serious food issues if he is not getting a majority of his calories from carbs.  I eat like a complete hog at a troth when training for a big race...Maybe that is why I carry around an extra 10lbs...slight overweight, well fed, strong as ox heart, and happy:-)[/quote]
