Okay, I turned 50 a couple of weeks ago. While that's a more symbolic threshold than a real one, I need to become more aware of my health from here to the end. This blog was recently one of the most successful attempts at such awareness, but as I've let it slip for more than two months I've gained back some of the weight it helped me lose.

So I begin again. . . .

Breakfast: one bowl of mixed Cocoa Crunchies and regular Cheerios (with 1% milk), half a banana
