The Numbers Leap And Dance

I made a spreadsheet to track my walks and weight loss.
At a glance, I can see how far I’ve walked, my weight loss rate, and when I should reach my goal weight.
The projected date slides around constantly, based on my average daily loss.
Doctors say that measuring your weight daily is not good for you, because the variations will drive you mad.
But I’m already mad, so the variations make for pretty numbers and charts.
They dance and leap and twist in the air around me.
I try to dance with them.
And fall off of the treadmill.
