a whole new me..........

In January, I joined a group of ladies on a weight loss resolution.  We have challenged, supported, fussed at, and prodded each other to continue our journeys.

As of this month, I have lost 30 pounds (54 pounds now since 2008) and over 37 inches when you total all the areas.

I went yesterday with a good friend and neighbor and started a new wardrobe.  The items I bought were 14's and 16's.

When I came home, I started emptying out my closets and drawers.  I have 31 items that are 2-3 sizes too big.  No wonder I was feeling frumpy!

I am not finished by any stretch of the imagination but I feel like I may be about halfway to my goal.  :)

more and more and more.........

All of the inside walls in the public areas are covered in cedar.  We still need to do the back splash in the kitchen and the laundry room and two closets in cedar.  We also have to finish the porch and cedar siding on the outside.
