I'm doing 15 things
I continue to take salsa lessons at least once per week. It is really so much fun. I’ve learned enough moves to enjoy going out to salsa clubs, and I’ve learned the basics of merengue, bachata, mambo, and chacha!

I’m spending the last week of 2008 providing free medical care at a clinic in rural Jamaica. I’ll be going with a team of med students and doctors from my university, and I am really, truly excited!
I’ve lost 65lbs. since Spring of 2006, but the scale has not budged in about 6 months. Life has been stressful and busy, and I sort of stopped trying. But it’s summer time, and I’ve got more energy to focus on myself and my health, so I’m getting serious about this again. That means some sort of physical activity every day, and keeping track of everything I eat. I hope to reach this goal by Halloween, at the latest. That’s exactly 15 weeks away, and 1 lb/wk is a very reasonable goal. When I reach my goal, I get to buy a new pair of jeans, which should be a size smaller. Wish me luck!
