Glee! I shouldn’t have turned the desktop computer on yet this morning, as I haven’t written yet, but I had to, ’cause glee! First, the official weigh-in this morning was down another pound, so I’ve lost 17 pounds since Oct. 7th. And second, I took my second pair of size 14s out of the closet and discovered they were more badly thrashed than I thought they were, so I veeeery nervously tried on the new 12s I got for Christmas, which I hadn’t been going to do until I’d lost…

I defied the gods and went…well, swimming, this afternoon. I feel somewhat more like I might be, or at least might have once been, part of the human race. 1600 yards, not a particularly huge amount, but an amount that seemed prudent to me.
