Good to see your post today, Camille! Is your "status quo" as deflated as it sounds? Hope not. Walking and stairs sound terrific. Waiting for you and Leslie to join me in "Afterland." No surprise: it's slippery.

Unexpected outcome of losing weight:  Some of the clothes I eagerly placed in a pile to donate or to sell on eBay have found their way back into my closet. Not too many, though, thankfully. Often I have to try on a garment in order to describe it accurately for eBay buyers. Thus, the slight regression. Suddenly, th pants or the top are looking good again. But overall I've discarded SO MUCH. Besides, if given the choice between a slim closet or a slim "me," my answer is a no-brainer. Slim me.
