Scale is going down--I hope it's some fat loss and not just releasing water retention during the holidays--lots of ham. But water weight looks the same on me as fat weight, so I'll take any loss that makes me look and feel better.

Reports beginning Jan 2

Try at least one new recipe or food per week: mashed black soybeans with cinnamon on cucumber--edible, but not great
