WW, Celebrating Life, Pantry...

Hi all,
Happy Monday to you~did you have a nice weekend? I am still fighting this cold that my hubby shared with me last week~yuck!! I am hoping I start feeling better this week!!! I am tired of blowing my nose every 5 min!!

On Friday, even though I was feeling kinda yucky...I decided to go to my local WW meeting to find out about the new Points Plus Program. I was a little hesitant and nervous, since I had so much success with the old program; but the 0 point fruit was really making me CURIOUS!!! I am so glad I went, because I think I am really gonna like the new program!! Change is good, right?? (sometimes, LOL!!). So I picked up my new materials and one of these (*note these are cheaper at the ww meetings; I paid $16 US dollars) and have been eating way more on this plan than the other one~which makes me happy *smile* I don't really have much to lose, just a few holiday pounds~but I love how WW keeps me on track.

Saturday I went to celebrate the life of my friend Mark Cain (who passed away on 12/24/10). What a nice service it was~celebrating his life and hearing my good friend Cindy talk about him as a husband and dad. He served on the Hospitality team with me at church, and I will deeply miss his smiling face and willing heart to serve.

I made this card for Cindy, and will be mailing it to her today. She is such a strong person and has been through so much~just want her to know how much I enjoy her friendship and how I love her!!

And as promised, Here are the before and after photos of my closet to pantry makeover. It is still considered pretty small in the pantry world~but I am LOVING the extra space for all my canned goods and other food items. And my OCD is just loving the can organizers!!! It is still a work in progress; Mike is going to extend the top shelf (which isn't pictured), and maybe do something on the side walls. It is so nice when I go to Costco now~if something is on sale, I can buy it because I now have room to store it *smile*

damask birthday and WW...

Hi all, Happy Monday!!!
Did you watch the Superbowl??? The only part I watched was half time...and have to say I LOVE The Who!!! They were awesome!
I was busy stamping during the game...while Mike watched~perfect Sunday afternoon, IMO!!! I decided to make a few birthday cards, because they are nice to have on hand (my kids depleted my stash...that is one good thing when your mom stamps~free cards for your friends, LOL!).

I am a big fan of WW!!! I LOVE the program, seriously, best one out there IMO. Back in 2006 I joined after my friend Cindy told me about it. I have never had a weight problem (I was one of those annoying people that could eat whatever I wanted), but after some stressful situations, and Ashley moving away to college (across the US), Nestle Cookie dough was my best friend!!! I would eat it from the tube with a spoon~so delish!!! Well, long story short...I put on over 30 pounds and one day woke up and wondered "why I needed bigger pants" and "what the heck happened." I joined WW and lost over 35 pounds and reached my goal, but never made it to Lifetime member. Fast forward to 2009 after a year (2008) of planning a wedding for Ashley and Nate, working full time, Mike losing his job, and some other random stuff...I had gotten out of my WW routine. Ashley and I joined together before Thanksgiving, and I am happy to report that I made it to Lifetime member on Friday *woot*. I am glad that I finally achieved that goal~ and since this time around I only had 6-7 pounds to lose...it was a lot faster to get to my goal~I just feel like WW gave me my life back and my skinny clothes!!! I {HEART} WW!!!

Enjoy Today!!
