Weight Watchers Here I Come

Yes, It's true, I am on the third day of Weight Watchers. I was inspired by Nancy Zundell, a woman in my neighborhood. No offense to Nancy, but if she can loose her weight after getting as big as she did with her last pregnancy then I can do it too. Go Nancy!!! I need to post a couple of pictures on here of me pregnant so that you believe me when I say I get huge too. So, here I am almost 3 years after the birth of our last baby and it is time to do something about the weight issue. (As noted in previous posts.) I have good incentive too. Mark's dad just called on Sunday and is getting married on May 24th. That gives me just under 3 months. Wow, pressure is on.

It was the cutest thing. I was talking to one of the cheer coaches at Rachael's Cheer Gym the other day who happens to be pregnant and adorable. We were talking about pregnancy and how our husbands love us and think we are sexy even though we are huge. Her comment to me was that even though he sees this beautiful glow all she sees when she looks in the mirror is "large and in charge". How much do I relate to that. How cute she is.

Hey Becky, Let me know how it works for you. Nancy looks great, my problem is that I have no self control! I need a work out buddy so if and when you ever get to that point...give me a call!

I love your blog. You are such a great family. I'll add you to my list of blogs I check EVERYDAY! What is my problem? Don't I have my own life?
Hey, I'm doing weight watchers.com and I really enjoy it. I've lost 10 pounds since I started, but have a ways to go to hit my goal. But its fun, I definitely would rather do it online then go to meetings. My biggest issues, second helpings and snacks. Good luck with it!

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.

Questions Answered, Questions Created

Today was Mark's appointment with the pulmonologist at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. I wish I could say that we came away with answers, good or bad, but instead Mark and I just feel confused. We got to the appointment about 15 minutes early which gave us plenty of time to fill out the piles of paperwork. As we were filling out the paperwork we noticed a sign that was posted with the names of each of the doctors and whether each of them were on time or not. According to the sign our doctor was right on time so after finishing the paperwork we sat back expecting that we would get in within a few minutes. Well, a few minutes turned into a half hour, which turned into an hour plus. Finally they called us back to our room and the nurse assured us that the doctor was just writing up a couple prescriptions for the previous patient and then he would be right in. Of course right in meant another 20 minutes or so. The doctor finally came in and proceeded to ask us questions about Ma...

Mmmm, Chocolate!

I have said before that I love photography. My other love is children and my favorite thing to photograph is children. I love capturing their innocent moments. My kids have gotten pretty good at ignoring the camera although Rachael taught Jillian how to say cheese (when the camera was pointed at her) when she was still a baby. Last night I made homemade brownies. They were so good and so easy to make. Of course the kids got to lick the mixing spoons. Since I have so many kids they have to take turn on who gets to lick the spoons though. This time it was the older kids turn. Jillian, being the baby and totally spoiled, still got a utensil to lick. She was so adorable with the spatula that I had to grab the camera.
