Day 9, 5,5 lbs down, 44.5 to go

I did my weigh in this morning and I am down, DRUM ROLL PLEASE, 5 1/2 lbs! Can you believe that? It hasn't been that bad. Sure, I sent my children into a few down-ward-shame-spirals. I have flown of the handle a couple of times. But that is a small price to pay for such a huge reward. What should be my 5 lb. gift? A car? OK, to big at this point. How about a sugar-free coffee at Starbucks. I think that is. I will drive to work with a foaming cup of glory.

5 1/2 down, 44 1/2 to go....
