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!

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!!!
