It’s slow going, but I am still inching my way toward my goal. Last week I was 152.4, for the second week in a row. This week I weighed in at 151.6. Just 3.6 more pounds to go. My size 6 clothes are calling my name!

It doesn’t come as a complete shock that I lost a bit of weight. I’ve been on a super bland and uninspiring “diet” for the last week. We’re talking saltines, cereal, bananas, plain spaghetti, etc. And not by choice. It seems I have acute pancreatitis caused by gallstones. Which means…

[Drum roll, please.]

I get to have my gallbladder removed! Oh joy.
