Minnesota 5-0!

Some of you may remember the old TV Police series called Hawaii 5-0, shown years ago. You could always count on McGarrett and his team to catch the crooks wherever they were in Hawaii.

Well, I want to tell you about a new series here at our home -- called "Minnesota 5-0"! It stars 'Yours truly' and instead of catching things, it's all about losing certain things. No, it won't focus on losing pens or car keys or things like that. This show is about losing pounds and ounces. The show officially started today and some of us really enjoy it -- or at least we enjoy the outcome of the show.

Today was finally the day when I officially weighed in at my Weight Watchers meeting and reached the 50-pound mark. I started this project 11 months ago and every time I get close to a big goal it seems to take a few weeks to get those last few ounces. But today, after a week of business travel, I got my magnet for having lost 50 pounds. Weight Watchers gives you a gold star for every 5 pounds, a small magnet at 25 pounds, and a little bit bigger magnet at 50 pounds. And today I got my magnet!

I'll see if Debbie will take a picture of me later that I can post, showing the difference between now and 11 months ago. You'll get a good laugh about that. Let's celebrate!!

Book him, Dano! And watch again next week for the next exciting adventure of Minnesota 5-0!
