Coach 8: Becky Utz

I met Becky after we both became Theta's at Miami.  I remember one night in January right after Rush, we were linked arm in arm, skipping form a house party to a bar, signing "Be Cool, Stay in School" and holding each other up as it was icy.  We may have actually fallen too but that is just a minor detail.  Becky has never stopped holding me up almost 20 years later.  Becky and I went on to live in the same house for 2 years in college and have kept close depite the many miles that have separated us since college.  Becky now lives in Salt Lake City UT with her BEAUTIFUL daugher (Carolyn) and awesome husband (Steve) so I don't get to see her often but she is always with me.

Becky was the first (of many) to volunteer to be my coach while I was in Italy for 2 weeks for work.  This was a huge challenge!  Becky emailed me almost every day while I was there.  And despite my bad habit of not emailing back she kept at it.  She reminded me why I was doing this challenge and asked me to stay strong.  But she also recognized that this was a one-time opporunity so she reminded me to have fun and enjoy some small indulgences.  I couldn't have gone to Italy and gained NO weight without her awesome emails.  Thanks Recky Becky!

I know I didn't officially lose a pound with Becky so I'll make her Coach again!  But not gaining anything in Italy is more important then 1 silly pound.
