Fourth Weigh In

This was a good week. Not that I didn't have challenge but I ended up cleanse Friday and Saturday due to some plumbing (LOL) issues I have, and so that aided in the weight loss and so drum roll please.........I lost 2.8 pounds. Mark lost 2 pounds. Yea us!!! How many weeks to go? I think 7 until the wedding. My sister asked me the other day if my clothes are fitting better yet and I have to say yes, I do not look like a stuffed pig in my clothes anymore. What a nice bonus. I am 1.2 pounds away from a 10 pound loss. That is so sweet. I really did think that my capris that I need for Florida would fit after 10 pounds but alas, no. Hopefully in another 10 pounds. Wow, I let myself go. It is amazing how quick one can pack on weight and how slow it can be to remove the weight. I feel blessed, my sister has called me every week to check on my progress. I am thankful to her for being so supportive in my efforts. My final thought is this, praise the Skinny Cow! Those things are what keeps me going.

I really need to invest in some of those skinny cows instead of blue bunny cookies and cream icecream! It is true how easy it is to put the weight on and how miserably hard it is to take it off. Way to go Becky!

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.

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.

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.
