New life to old memories

When I was a little girl my neighbor made me a little cupboard.  He was a carpenter by trade.  It was painted bubblegum pink when I was small.  When my own kids were little I repainted it white. Not sure why my kids thought they could draw on it..

I got busy this weekend and sanded, primed and painted it.  

I love the vintage look of these 50 year old hinges.

I think it looks pretty good, I just need some grandkids to come and play now!  

Come on over Ashton and Maci!

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.
