Second Weigh In

Ok, I felt really good about this last week. I stayed within my points and didn't cheat. So, I weighed this morning and I have lost a whopping .4 of a pound. Now that is frustrating, and a far cry from the 2 pounds I was hoping for. I am having to work hard at not being depressed about this. I desperately hope that this isn't the norm until I lose everything because that will be a really really really long haul. No really, I calculated it out and it would take me 137.5 weeks to lose my weight at .4 pounds a week. That would be December of 2010. Please somebody tell me that every week won't go that slow. Mark also lost 2.4 pounds. Anyway, forge ahead another week and pray for something better.

Remember Beck, losing weight is HARD WORK. It isn't going to happen overnight. Actually, it's better that it goes slowly because you are reteaching your body and mind what it needs to be healthy and you will more likely keep the habits for life if you do it slowly. If you are like me, if it came off fast I would say, "ok, I've hit my goal, now I can go back to normal." And then the weight would come back on just as fast as it left. Instead, look at the bigger picture. Look at this as not a matter of a time limit, but as a life change. If you see it as the way you are going to live, then you have to believe that the weight will come off. And it will stay off because of the new habits you've learned.

If you stay within your points, YOU WILL lose more than .4 a week. 2 pounds a week even seems small, but that is an awesome goal. You can do this, and YOU WILL start losing!

I am reminding myself to look at the bigger picture too. Its been two weeks since I have lost, but I haven't stayed within my points like I should either. It's been good to read your post and realize that I really believe in WW and I believe in myself. And you can do it too!!

Thanks for your comments everyone. I am a lot better with it a couple of days later. Weight Watchers is a great program and I don't feel deprived which is amazing for me. I will stick with it and especially with the support of friends like you.

Broccoli Salad

My children have this thing for broccoli salad and they beg me to make it weekly. Every time I make it I become mom of the week around here which I happen to like! One would think that it might be odd for kids to love broccoli salad, and I am not necessarily thinking it is normal, but I do know it is pretty tasty. I decided for today's post to share my recipe. Beware, I am all about easy so don't expect something elaborate, and I cook for a crowd so if you want to make this adjust to your size of family. 1/2 package of broccoli florets from Costco (chopped) 1/2 red cabbage (shredded) 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of Craisins 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of real bacon bits 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of unsalted sunflower seeds 1/2 a bottle of Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing Mix Seriously, if my kids scarf this salad down I promise most kids will.

Loving Moments

I had one of the most tender moments as a mother the other day. Somehow, as our family was sitting around the kitchen table talking, we got on the subject of who we would like to meet when we die. We all felt like there isn't anybody famous that we would even care to meet. We then started talking about biblical people. I said I would like to meet Noah, or Captain Moroni. I was sure that I am not the only one that wants to meet them, I'm sure they will be inundated with people wanting to meet them! Then Andrew got very solemn. He got very emotional as he said he would like to meet his Heavenly Mother. He then looked at me and said, if she was more amazing and glorious than me that he couldn't even imagine how incredible meeting her would be. He cried, I cried and we hugged a gentle, loving, mom and son hug.

day one.down for the count.

So in my typical fashion, I put a plan into action and then immediately have to deal with the changing of said plan. I went to bed dizzy last night hoping it was nothing and that it would pass as I slept. No such luck, this morning I got up and didn't stay up. So, three movies later I sit here on the couch with the best laid plans laid to rest. I was going to get up early, make breakfast, get dressed before 10, and send my honey off with a kiss and looks of devotion. Instead...Mark got up and I slept in, finally got up in time to stumble down the stairs, see the first set of kids off to school, and plant myself on the couch for the rest of the day. Mark gave me a kiss on his way out the door and instead of looks of devotion I had eyes welling with tears. Great day huh? Luckily I don't have any plans for today. Tomorrow isn't too bad, I don't have many responsibilities, but Friday I have an important photo shoot. This dizzy thing better go away!!!
