SLOW BUT STEADY

I frankly did not think I would lose anything this past week (other than my mind and any hint of emotional stability) - but I lost one additional lb. (and why in heck do we use "lb." as an abbreviation? Look it up here, but it is sort of like metric - we should have switched to a logical format centuries ago).

So minus 9.5 so far.

Is that close enough to ten pounds that I can say I have lost ten pounds?

(And, just a hint here, the correct answer is SURE!)
