The results are in

After a month of cutting back on lunches and other foods in general, according to my spreadsheet trend-line, I've lost 3.2 pounds. That is actually the kind of progress I was hoping to make. Nothing overly dramatic, otherwise it would be much too easy for me to put it all right back on. So now the goal is to slowly work my way back to "normal" life -- that is, eating out for lunch with coworkers -- while still reducing my intake enough to reach my goal by September. My current plan is to go out one more day each week and take it one week at a time. Keep your fingers crossed with me!
