The Hollando Diet

Rejoice! Sunday was Easter, and thus ended the fast of Lent. This year I gave up drinking — and meant it this time — which doubtless contributed to my continued weight loss. (The implications of this for the rest of the year are rather unfortunate, and I prefer not to dwell on them.)

On Holy Saturday morning — in the final hours of the fast, which concluded with the Easter Vigil — I weighed an unprecedented (in a long time, anyway) 155 pounds. But this is a season for feasting, not fasting, and I have done my share. Surely this has had its effect. Most likely, I’m now nearer to 157. Even so, this equals my lowest weight since 2002.

To all our readers, Happy Easter!
