The Slimmest Spouse - Victory is Near

I woke up to a suprise this mornig - I'm down one more pound. My starting weight was 127.6 and I'm now 123. That's almost 5 pounds!

I can't give you Donovan's current weight because our mornings this week have been crazy. We've both been waking up late and running out the door. I always take a moment to weigh myself, but it's never been in Donovan's routine. I've been too tired to nag him about it.

He's done pretty well himself, since our last update. He passes on seconds at dinner, which, in all the years we've been together, I've never known him to do. No matter what cheesy, bacony thing I cook, he's resisted it. I'm suprised by his willpower because it comes so easily. Convincing myself to stick with something requires all sorts of tears and fits - but he just seems to flip a switch.

Yesterday I got some great news for the next generation of little Kelsey's. I switched to a new pediatrician and she estimated that both my girls would be about 5'4". That's fantastic!! I've always hated the fact that I hovered around 5 feet. I can't see in a crowd, everything has to be hemmed, and I pack more pounds per inch. So, victory for my children! They haven't inherited my short gene and will go on to lead full and tall lives!
