Marriage. Year one.

A less active lifestyle meant a few extra pounds. She still looked great in a swimsuit, and still had visible ab muscles, just carried a little bit more in her curves. A little more in her boobs and in her ass. To the eyes of most her body was still perfect, but not to hers in the mirror.

Mason slowed down over time with sex, eventually fucking her only once a week. Then a couple of times a month, then once a month when she was lucky. It was a busy time for him at work, she tried to understand.

Sex did get a little boring as well, when Mason would fuck her it tended to start and end in the missionary position. He stopped wanting (or accepting) blowjobs or other positions. However it didn't bother her at the time, she finally had her part of the American dream.

Vixxen and Mason were now months past their honeymoon, however while they still slept together and spent time together, the sex had already begun to slow.

Mason spent more time at work than Vixxen imagined a person could, working long hours at his New York office. Mason also spent a lot of time on the phone and on a laptop when at home. Vixxen was no longer working, and Mason had a cleaning service, so outside of making them dinner at night there wasn't a lot to do at home.

Vixxen would get up and have breakfast and coffee with Mason, and when she could she would have lunch with him. However his lunches were almost exclusively working lunches in the office, or business meetings at a restaurant where she could not join him.

Vixxen had found a nice gym and got back into working out, but she quickly found that without the cardio workout involved in dancing for a living four days a week, she could not maintain her physique and her eating habits.

If she reduced the calories she took in and her protein intake she would lose the shape she worked to create in the gym. She still lifted in the gym and could keep up the muscle, but without the cardio she had a tough time keeping body fat down where she wanted it.

It turned out that spending six hours dancing a few times a week was a tough amount of cardio to replace.

She was in yoga class and expanded to a cross fit class, she had plenty of time on her hands, however it was a fight she was losing. Vixxen had toned up for her wedding, getting married at 123 lbs, but after the first year of her marriage she found herself at 130 lbs.

She still had good muscle tone, but had not yet found a good balance in diet and exercise that would help her to hold onto muscle but hold down fat. She was active every day, but finally toned down the calories and protein and accepted the new normal was not going to be as muscular as the old one.
