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! ;)

You are doing great! I know how hard that is--losing weight is such a pain--it's a constant thought in your mind. However, you are on the right track. and p.s. I think your gorgeous!

Becky, I am so amazingly in love with you. I love you for who you are, what you have done, and what you will become. I can honestly say that I am who I am today because of you. I love you, I love you, I love you.

Keep up the good work! You are doing great. I know we can do it!

ps. I LOVE YOU!!!

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!

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...
