I am also where I was January 1, but I'm sure part of it is sodium. Too many pickles, too much wonderful Chinese food. So: will not buy any more pickles, and I ate all that were in the frig; AND, my son is headed back to China on Monday, so my diet will get back on track then! I will miss him terribly until I see him again next February, but my scale won't.

Also, as soon as the snow and ice melts, I will increase my walking to 24 miles/week.
