Back to the very beginning, it's a very good place to start ....

 
So the scale was kind this morning, especially so in light of my lack of elliptical time lately: for whatever reason (maybe because I haven't left the house since Sunday and I've been living on Lean Cuisines, low-fat cottage cheese, non-fat yogurt, and fruit), I somehow dropped 4 lbs since the 10th.  (I need to go to Panera less, I think.)
 
Depressingly, though, my refrigerator spreadsheet and this blog tell me that I'm exactly where I was on February 1st ... of 2009!  That was when I had an epiphany and I decided I was going to dig in, take charge, blah blah blah.  And I was going to weigh 100 lbs less when I turned 50.  Ha!  So, after all the intervening upping and downing and running and ellipticalling (hey, if I say it's a word, it's a word), I'm exactly where I was 5 years ago, except with a 5-year older and slower metabolism.  *sigh*
 
I suppose, on the bright side, it's better than being worse off than I was 5 years ago.
