Last night when we got home from the graduation party, I desperately needed to get steps in, so I did.  This morning was a pleasant surprise with the scale, as I thought I would never see the number that I did. Weigh In:  164.4 This time last week:  166.8 Activity:  Walked over 10k steps. Breakfast:  1…
