Today is a marvelous day!  It is January 6, 2008 and John and I decided to see how we are doing.  He weighted in 12 pounds less so far and I am 9.5 pounds less!  YAHOO!!!  I realize it may be water loss but it feels so good to have that number going down!  We have been watching what we eat, drinking more water, and trying to be more active.  We need JILLIAN!!!  :-)  We went to a friend's house for dinner Friday night and we let them know we are dieting.  They made us grilled chicken, brussel sprouts, asparagus and lettuce salad.  We had a glass of wine then switched to diet soda.  They did make a cake for the kids but we both passed on that.  It was a different gathering than what we would normally do with that couple, but we had just as much fun!  It is so wonderful to have the support of those around us!!!  We can't wait to see what our "official" weigh in Wednesday brings!  Cheers to all!!!!
