In addition to learning patience as I wait for word on my manuscript’s fate at the publishers, I have also embarked on a mission to lose weight.

I am not doing anything wild, erratic, or even especially interesting. Just counting the calories, walking three miles a day, and logging it all. (Myfitness pal on my iPhone is really making this work for me.)

Here is my weight logged every two days for the last five months. I am about half way to my goal so all in all I don’t feel too bad.
