As the married pounds pack on me it's easy for me to not care about taking care of myself "I'm married now, I've got the girl, who cares." Unfortunately this kind of sentiment rarely works as my wife calls me the female in the relationship.
Coming from a larger family I battle with my weight. I'm shorter than most men (my wife is taller than me) and from grade school to high school I battled my weight. At 20 I went on the Adkin's Diet and dropped a necessary 40lbs off my frame and became what I was told "buff."
Sad to say that as the years have gone on and the stress and responsibility of life has gotten greater the pounds have gradually come back one.
It doesn't help that my wife has always been naturally thin and lost her 40lbs of baby weight in 3 months and I look at a cookie and gain weight.
So I have decided that while I'm the stay at home dad that I have to do something physical while I am at home. Tonight we are looking at treadmills and and are going to decide if that is a worthy investment.
My friends tell me it isn't....I will end up using it for a clothes hanger and it will collect dust. You think they are right?? I just can't see that....sometimes when I'm home and my daughter is asleep I get an itch to start running. That's when I think that a treadmill will come in handy.
I don't know yet...I will keep you posted.

You sound just like me fiance! He is woman in our relationship too. Treadmills are a good investment if you're really motivated and commit to using it.
