It's all about perspective

I have to admit, Monday's weigh-in was a little underwhelming. I mean, I'm glad, because I did lose. That was a complete surprise, considering the pizza and beer fest of the Friday prior, and a couple additional brews on Sunday. I just didn't lose much -- a sad .4 lbs.

Contrary to WW's advice, I am a (nearly) daily-weigher. I keep all my little numbers on a scrap of paper, and weigh in every morning that I remember.

This morning, I decided to plug them all into a spreadsheet, because I am a stats-geek. Combined with all those other little fragments, that .4 doesn't seem so pitiful at all:
