New year, new thread. the previous years are posted above for your convenience.

I took advantage of the sunny day we had. In spite of the fact we had a dusting of snow here on New Year's Day, it was shirt sleeve weather for my walk up to the traffic signal and back. I sterile open carried my sidearm with magazines in a pouch on my weak side, recorder running. Traffic was steady and a couple walking behind me met me at the traffic signal on my return trip. The man said to the woman, "Oh, he's packing a gun." I nodded and kept on my way. I finished my walk without any further encounters.
As for the weight management update- I weighed in at 204.2 pounds this morning. At my best estimate, I have lost between 52 and 64 pounds since May 2010. I have navigated the holidays without gaining any weight but struggled to maintain any losses because of the weather and short daylight hours curtailing physical acvtivity. When I get to my weight loss goal I might post before and after pictures- but don't hold me to it.
