Well, after a struggling week at my sister's house in Maryland, did I gain or lose? Tomorrow will tell. I thought I was doing so well, toting my scale with me to Maryland, only to leave it behind. Had to go out today and buy a new scale. What if it is not calibrated like my old one? Today was a struggle...

I want something crunchy and salty...celery with salsa had to do. Tasted a bit like a Bloody Mary...............a virgin Bloody Mary. Exercise? What...
