First Weigh In

I have been on Weight Watchers 1 week today. I stepped on the scale this morning and I have lost 4.6 pounds. Wahoo!!! Mark has also been working on watching what he is eating and picking smaller portions, and he has lost 5.6 pounds. I feel really good too. I think that when I start watching what I am eating I actually don't eat enough. Obviously that hasn't been a problem the last few months with the weight gain I have experienced but when I look back on last summer and how I didn't lose any weight with as hard as I worked it all makes sense. I don't eat enough food. I think have anorexic tendencies. The whole less is more issue. So, now I am on a good track, and 10 weeks to go until the wedding. I would like to lose 2 pounds a week from here until the wedding. That might be too much to ask for but we will just see what happens. For anyone considering Weight Watchers here is the best tip that my sister gave me. The light ranch from the BYU Creamery is only 1 point for 2 tablespoons. And it is really tasty to boot. So, take a drive down to Provo and pick some up, you will love it.

WAY TO GO!! That is such a great start. I have that same problem- my head tells me don't eat and you will lose weight, but then I know that you have to eat enough to lose weight. AHHH!! A daily battle.

Officially in the Limelight!

I had an interesting experience this evening. Without divulging more than I should, let's just say that I was told that people in my area are concerned that I have not kept my information about the stake changes private until the appropriate time. They were concerned that because I dated my blog post for the date of my writing some people thought that I had said something before the stake split announcement. Let me assure you that this isn't the case. I date my posts for the day that I write them but I didn't post them until Nov. 9th, the afternoon of the day of Stake conference. With that being said, this experience brought to my attention how much being a bishop's wife really is somewhat like being on show for everyone. Sometimes you are scrutinized and it is good, and sometimes it isn't so good.  I felt truly inspired to write and keep this blog so that people can get an idea of what a normal bishop's family is like. This however can be difficult because I ...

Pushed to the Limits Sometimes

I have been pretty overwhelmed lately. Actually it seems to be a recurring theme in my life that I am not very pleased about. I tend to wonder why it is that I get into situations where I feel overwhelmed. I question my ability to put my life in the right perspective. So, next week in particular is going to be beastly! My larger roles will include....teacher, preschool teacher, employee (24 hours next week), mother, maid, and cook. The problem is that I don't feel like I am excelling at any of them. For instance Zach. He needs me to be a great teacher, to give him my best and most undivided attention. Instead I am giving my all to stay awake and the rest goes to him and Jillian.

What I Would Tell My Younger Self

Last week was a really tough week for our Bishop and family. First, my husband went out of town on business and it happened to overlap with our daughter and her babies visiting us. So, three days that she was here, he didn't get to see her. Then, he flew back into town Wed. around town and then we drove our daughter to the airport Thursday morning at 4:30. Yes, that is early, and yes, we did go back to bed when we got home. ;o) Then he worked all day Thursday and I will spare you the details but it was a bad day. His non-boss boss was in a foul mood and he got the brunt of it.  Thursday evening he had the yearly ward audit and didn't get home until close to 10. Friday was another fun filled day at work, and then Friday evening and Saturday were filled with youth conference which he attended and was a chaperone for during the entire event. Sunday was a rough "bishop" day that he couldn't talk about, and quite frankly, I didn't want to hear about.  That leads us...
