I have stopped all alcohol intake. That was easy. I have (shudder) stopped drinking coffee. That was/is hard! I went to the store and bough all the SlimFast I could find. At the checkout the young woman who was running the register said, "This stuff can't be for you!". I said to her and I say to you, Sorcha, "God bless you!". As I said earlier, I wear it well. I'm just tired of wearing it. I suspect that I have gained about ten or 15 pounds since the Adventure. I'd hit the road in a minute again if I weren't committed to my current situation. (But I'm dubious as to whether any weight was lost on the road.)
