7th Weigh In

Another week another pound. I am happy about it. I am getting to the hard part though. Day in day out, the same food. I did really good on eating out this week which I am excited about and I think my stomach is shrinking, but I am tired of the mind battle. I know I need to get to the gym, I think I wouldn't have the mind battle if I was working out. The hard reality is that I am not going to be where I would like to be by the wedding, and that is ok, I just need to start looking for a dress and stop stressing about what I am going to look like in it. Not that it isn't important I just stress more than I am sure I need to. So, goals for this week are...water, water, water. I am horrible at getting enough in and I know it.

You're doing great Becky! I was noticing in the pictures from the museum that your face is looking thinner and you can tell you've lost weight!

When I was at Allyse's Bridal Saturday I noticed some dresses that might work for the wedding. There are these beautiful shirt/jackets that tie to the side. It looked like something you'd like and will probably still work as you get thinner. The skirt is long. The only thing is the color is taupe. I was looking for them on-line (beautifullymodest.com) and there are other dresses that are really pretty too and are ivory in color. Good luck!

Hey Becky. This is kind of funny, because every time I cut a watermelon now I think of you.....and Rachael because at camp last year she was telling us how you cut off the top and then cut the rind off. I thought it was a great idea and so I do that now! I did it tonight in fact. I just think it's funny that you can have an influence on someone without even knowing it. Good luck with the water intake! ;)

Hey...a pound is a pound. Don't be discouraged. You look great! You know what always helps me to drink water? I get a big 32 ounce mug filled with water and I leave it on the counter so during the day when I see it, I remember to take a few sips..I go through about 2 a day. Sad thing is that I'm sure someimes I drink close to the same amount of Diet Pepsi..and I wonder why I can't lose any weight! :)

Hey Becky... that cheese I was trying to remember is Laughing Cow Cheese. It's 1 point a wedge. They have it at Costco... but you can get the flavored kind at other stores. I like the garlic herb...and yes, that is why I always have garlic breath! You look great, I need to read your blog so I can remember to stay on track!

2009 Family Pictures

We had the funnest silliest adventure today. We decided that since Rachael's braces are off and Mark and I have lost a few pounds that it would be a great time to take our family pictures. I have seen some really cool looking pictures done at the salt flats so we took a drive out there. Yep, 2 hours later, after making a 20 min. past our destination detour, having to stop at the only gas station in the middle of nowhere for a bathroom trip, and just as the sun was going down over the mountain we pulled up. The couch was very quickly unloaded and then in a very hasty 10-15 min. We sat, posed, and pushed the button to take our picture over and over again. It was such a good time with all of us laughing and enjoying every minute of the warm light and family bonding. Please note that these pictures are straight out of the camera and I have not edited them yet. Even with that being said, I LOVE them!!! It is just what I was envisioning. Once editing is done I think they will be quite ...

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...

A Story Good Enough for Halloween?

I have a story to tell. I should have told it a month ago in preparation for Halloween but alas, I didn't think to write about it until tonight. So, if you are ready for something spooooky then sit back and enjoy. When I was a little girl living in Northern California my parents chose a house for our family to live in that was, at first inspection, perfect for us. It was a traditional English Tudor style, 2 story house with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a living room, dining room, large pantry, and a large kitchen/eating area. There were large picturesque windows in every room that looked out over the vast undeveloped rolling hills that were right out our back door. The house was surrounded by large oak trees and a quaint brick path that led from the street up to our doorway. Our family was happy there. One bedroom for the girls, one bedroom for the boys, an office for dad, and a large master bedroom for our parents. Everything was perfect except for one major factor. There...
