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.

Really, it won't take that long...I am so sorry, though--very frustrating!!! You'll catch a break soon, don't worry. :)

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.

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...
