Thank you to everyone who commented on my "Any questions" blog. I am so glad you are enjoying my blog. There is so much that happens here and I only get to describe a small part of it to you. So, I believe the only question was "how slim are you these days?" Well, unfortunately, I am not slim yet. I have lost about 50 pounds, but still have a long way to before I (or anyone) would consider myself slim. I haven't done anything to lose the weight. I think my body was in shock from not eating fast food, drinking more water and being more active. Most of the weight I lost occurred in the first two and a half months I was in Sudan. Since then, because I was in Nairobi for five weeks, then back in Tonj only for one, and again in Nairobi for four more weeks (with Matoch), I have not lost more weight. Nairobi has more food choices then we do here and I did enjoy treats that we don't get in Sudan! Now that I am in Sudan for four months (my next break will be in August in Nairobi), I expect I will lose more. At some point I'm sure I will plateau and will have to start exercising. However, I'm not worried about it. While it's not at all my focus here, it is a nice and much needed benefit.
PS Good camera angles can do wonders!

Speaking of camera angles...Danielle took some pictures of Mike and I yesterday and while most of them are really good, some of them (from the waist down) look like I swallowed a field of watermelons! Someone once said "the camera adds ten pounds"...my question is: How many cameras were on me?
