You are probably wondering how I am doing on my new health plan. I am thrilled to report that I have felt very sustained and convinced that the timing of this was perfect (even though I would have been happier to have lost 45 lbs a year or two ago!) I was able to wear an outfit to church that I couldn't fit into three weeks earlier, and my students have asked if my hair is different. Then they said sort of off-the-cuff, "Or maybe you've lost some weight." They were embarassed to ask and wondered if I'd mind their questions.

Ask me if I've lost weight!!!

I am very, very grateful and looking forward to continued improvement in my health.
