Today, I celebrate. Since I began exercising and eating less on Memorial Day, I have lost 20 pounds! First goal achieved.

Next goal, which should be pretty quick if the gods of metabolism cooperate: Weigh less than 200 pounds. I cannot remember the last time I weighed less than 200 pounds.

After that, I think I’ll head for 180 pounds. (There! I’ve put it in writing.)

To mark this momentous occasion, I return briefly to that briefest of all genres, the six word story.

Five months. 20 pounds. Woo hoo!!
