My weight went up a few pounds in January. My average weight was 188.9lbs. Up from December’s 186.0lbs. There was a lot of holiday eating going past the holiday season. We didn’t have our family over like usual, so Deb and I ate more treats than usual. And a part of it was my over-reliance…

If you had asked me a year ago if it was easy to lose weight during a pandemic, I would have said, “Heck, yes!” I saw the movie Contagion.
