Yep, it's going fairly well so far.  Feeling better too.  Now I just need to
get the exercise regimen up & going, and hopefully burn off some weight. 
That's a little more difficult (at least in the motivation area) since I'm
working on the road these days away from home.

Yep.  For me, it was the taste.  The cleanest, freshest spring water in the
world would taste like mud to me.  I still get like that, but not as often.
We've gone to filtered water at home (through a Pur canister first and now
through a new built-in filter unit in the referigarator) and I carry a Brita
water bottle now at the office.  I lapse from time to time, but by & large
I'm doing much better than before...
