Having a wonderful time in Cortona trying to balance both the "regularly living" and "being a tourist."  It is difficult to get away from the tourist mode as there is so much to see and explore.  Churches and food seem to dominate!  With the mouth issues, I can't take advantage…

Today was a day of unexpected surprises. I stepped on the scale, bracing myself for the usual disappointment, only to be met with a shock. Down 10 pounds! I now weigh 340 pounds.   While it might seem like a small victory to some, it's a significant milestone for me.…
