9th Weigh In

I hate to say it but after 9 weeks of weigh ins I think this is going to get really boring to read about. I need to start posting about something other than my weight. I have found that I got really lazy last week. I struggled to keep track of what I ate. A lot of that came from a week of constant on the go driving. Thursday afternoon I was actually in my kitchen having a snack and realized that I was actually home when it was light. Rachael had range last week from 6:30 to 8:30. Then there was cheer Mon. and Wed. from 4-6 and stunt group Wed. from 8-9. Mark and I also worked all weekend on a consulting project with a deadline that is looming. At this point everything else is a blur but all I can say is that I am exhausted!!! So, long story short, I didn't concentrate on writing down what I was eating. I think I did alright on my points. Not the best week but not terrible. With all of that being said I lost .4 of a pound last week. Disappointing but still in the right direction.

I am having a tough time mentally right now. I just don't want to have to stress about what goes in my mouth. I know that I am a stress eater so it is a good thing I am watching what I am eating right now. I am recommitting this week to measuring what I eat and writing everything down. I also need to find time for exercise. I know I have said it before but I know that would help me I just need time to do 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.

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!!!
