Well, I have some news

Good news: Yesterday, Christmas Eve, I got to my desired weight thanks to diet and exercise.

Bad news: I recently dislocated my shoulder. No worries, it's back in place. Physiotherapy is next.

It isn't easy. I'm hoping to hold over Christmas and new years. I'm down 13 kilos from March. Slow and steady.

PS. Do your PT.
