Progress!

I've been on a weight loss regimen since the end of July, with the goal of losing 30 pounds this school year. As anyone who's ever been on a diet knows, it's not a steady path downwards--some days you're a pound up, some days a pound down. As long as the overall trend line is down, though, we're heading in the right direction.

Recent history shows I'll be up again tomorrow, but that doesn't mean I can't celebrate a great, albeit fleeting, milestone: This morning, for the first time, I reached the 20 lb point.
