I,m no Picasso



Today I have started to paint a rocking chair that a bought at a charity shop two weeks ago


Not an easy task. ! Although I rubbed it down with fine sandpaper and cleaned it with meths the varnish is so ingrained that the undercoat frothed and looked like water but I,m persevering .


I shall make a quilt to hang on the back of it . It will look vintage when I have finished .


I have been trying to be more careful about what I eat . I,m now at the end of my second week . I am not weighing myself because the scale needs a new battery so I have no idea if cutting down is having any effect . I can only say about 2 hrs,. after lunch I start to get hungry and really look forward to 6 o/clock when I prepare my evening meal .

I to am trying to lose weight as passing a plate glass window the other day I saw my reflection and thought I must get serious about less food and more exercise. Good luck to you and fingers crossed for me.

Why not take measurements of your bust, waist and hips, and perhaps your thighs and tops of your arms - and then just remeasure ever month?
Losing a couple of inches is much more cheery than losing a couple of pounds because you'll know that you actually look slimmer!

Good luck with it - and take comfort from the fact that at least you're not still piling it on :O)
