Are you ready for WW? Last Monday, Weight Watchers publicly announced that they were changing their name to WW. That is not an acronym. That is simply the new name of the company. Tagline? Wellness that Works. I am so excited to be a part of this company during this rebranding. Stay tuned, because there is more exciting news to come over the next several days. FYI….Freestyle is not changing and SmartPoints are not changing. Are you a WW member? Do you have questions? Please comment here on the blog with any questions you have or feel free to send me an email. julesfarm@yahoo.com When WW went to Beyond The Scale a few years back, I was ecstatic to see them incorporating the importance of all of the areas of health that included so much more than just the number on the scale. It felt very personal to me. I […]

Bachelorette Weekend Success!
Happy Saturday my lovely readers! There is a chill in the air these last few mornings that I absolutely love! Perfect for sipping coffee in my robe. I am so happy to curl up in my bedroom with an enormous cup of coffee this morning and write this blog post. Yesterday’s mascara and all……but so cozy and happy. I drove home last Sunday from Dallas with one of my daughters and my daughter-in-law. We went to Dallas for my daughter Tess’ Bachelorette Party. That’s right. My daughter invited not only me, her mom, but she also invited her future Mother-In-Law to her Bachelorette party, and let me tell you, we had an absolute blast! I had so much fun watching my daughter spend time with some of the women in her life that mean so much to her. She invited childhood friends, college friends, people that she has met since moving […]
My Knee, My Job & My Journey
These Dang Knees My mind….35ish My Body…. apparently 80-90ish?? My Actual Age….51. 🙄🙄🙄 This past Thursday I had my 8 week post op appointment. My knee is healing well and I’m on track with PT. I go 2-3 times a week for PT, then do about 30 minutes each day at home. PT continues through October. The biggest problem that I am having is my good knee. Or should I just say, my left knee. Do I have a good knee? Going back 8 weeks. I had a cortisone shot in each knee. The very next day my meniscus snapped in my right knee. So, surgery. During surgery they discovered that I had osteoarthritis that did not show in the MRI, so he performed micro fracture surgery. Two weeks after surgery, I had another cortisone shot in the left knee, the good knee. Whatever that means. That lasted about 10 days. My […]
The Beach House, Chapter Three
Happy Monday! I was hoping to post this this morning…..but you know. I have a post to follow this one with all sorts of happy things going on that are actually Weight Watcher related. I came home a day early from the beach thanks to Florence. We were right in her path at Carolina Beach! My friend Ashley has a family beach house that her parents built in 1967 (I think that’s the right year.) Three of us (all childhood friends) went to see Ashley four years ago and we had the best beach trip! We then went two years ago as well. We’ve tried for an annual thing, but this is maybe a bi-annual thing. It will definitely get easier to plan as all of their kids get older and are out of school. For now, I’ll take what I can get. I love these girls and we had […]
One Year Cancer Free
One year ago today I was sitting in my living room recovering from my Double Mastectomy. I didn’t really think about being Cancer Free that day. I was just thinking about the fact that I no longer had a part of my body. It was months later that I began to recognize August 31st as my Cancer Free Anniversary. I was pretty drugged up that weekend so I don’t remember much. Here’s what I do remember about the days leading up to it. I know some pretty amazing people. I had friends scheduling meal trains. I had family and friends texting me telling me that everything was going to be okay and that they loved me. I had family and friends constantly asking me what they could do. And the days that followed I had family and friends bring meals, flowers, gifts, come to visit, text me and call me, […]
