Today, while sitting through yet another pronunciation lecture on the Carmina Burana I caught my reflection in the large mirror at the back of the chorus room. And my immediate reaction is, "Where am I?" I then spent the rest of refersal staring at my chin and my gorgeous long neck.

I love Sonoma.

When I was first looking into the Sonoma, I laughed off the "After Wave 1, you won't be able to understand how you ever ate the larger portion sizes you're currently used to." Right. Sure. Just a few days and suddenly a life-long habit will be changed.
But really, I couldn't finish my dinner tonight (those grains seem to expand when they hit my stomach) and I didn't need the between lunch and dinner snack, nor did I obsess over what I would be eating next.

And my new skirt is too big... so are my pants... and the brown jacket that I used to find "slimming."

Not that I know how much I've lost... but it's a fantastic feeling to have your clothes getting too big.
