Back on the Wagon

I had great success with Weight Watchers when I signed up in August of 2008.  I did what they told me, wrote down what I ate, kept track of my points, went to meetings, weighed in regularly and lost weight.  I reached my goal in 5 months, became a lifetime member, continued to weigh in and ate moderately.

I have kept the weight off for 2 1/2 years.  Mostly.  For some reason that doesn't make sense to me now, I ate with reckless abandon during the holidays, stopped weighing in, and certainly didn't write anything down.  So Surprise!  I've added a few pounds back on.  I vowed I would NEVER go back up the scale, so I am back to weighing in, going to meetings and keeping track...because IT WORKS!!!  I love the online option for tracking points, it costs a little, but I just replaced the cost of candy and junk food and it's even. It was not hard to get back in the groove and the scales are already reflecting the change!!

I recommend their program to everyone!  It does cost money, but I have learned so much and it is the price I had to pay to figure it out.  Now I'm learning the new Points plus program, seems to make sense.

San Antonio, TX

We had the most WONDERFUL trip to Texas.  Karl and I went for business, (a convention of independent furniture store owners) and enjoyed our time with family too.   We had fun walking the riverwalk, taking a boat tour, eating at great restaruants, learning new business tools, catching up with Karl's cousin and seeing our own grandkids one more time.

Remembering the Alamo

It's not a vacation if Karl doesn't spend some time on a golf course.

The kids loved the new Seasame Street's Bay of Play: the Merry-go-round, the giant climbing play area and Ella loved seeing the Cookie Monster and Elmo characters
