In July 2023, I quietly celebrated a year of weight loss maintenance – Hooray! I still use the Fooducate nutrition and weight tracker to record what I eat and weigh each each day, as a reminder. Several people have asked how I did this: please read my 22 September 2022 update for what worked for me. (This only represents my experience – your mileage may vary. Use a program that works for your health and way of doing things and you will be more likely to stick with it.)
I enjoy shopping for clothes to fit my new form (usually used, by way of ThredUp and other thrifty online sources), and am still working out what style, design, and fit is best for me in each season. I have some unusual constraints on this. As a Chaplain in the county jail, for work I cannot wear clothes that are predominantly red, blue, or other gang colors. Also, as a new Grandma, I need to consider how to manage a very active 9 month old who likes to grab, pull, and chew on me. For my birthday later this month, my husband John treated me to a shopping trip at the Sézane shop in San Francisco with my friend Laura Biché. John hates to shop, so buying my own gift is a present to him. Last weekend, I wore one of the Sézane dresses I bought on our date night, seeing “Shakespeare in Love” by Silicon Valley Shakespeare.
