Today I have officially passed the 50 pound mark since surgery!  Yay!!!  This morning I weighed in at 231 after a two hard fought weeks prior.  Although, when I say things like that my husband kindly reminds me that a hard fought week for me with 2 pounds lost is still a pretty decent week for the rest of the world.  :)

Some other interesting facts about the number 50:

• Fifty is the smallest number that is the sum of two non-zero square numbers in two distinct ways:
• 50 = 1² + 7²  and  5² + 5². 
• It is also the sum of three squares, 50 = 3² + 4² + 5².
It is the fifth magic number in nuclear physics
The 50th Congress was in session prior to Utah becoming a state and John T. Caine (D) served for the Utah Territory.
The 50th State is, as you probably already know, Hawaii (August 21st 1959)
In the United States, one can receive a greeting from the President for any wedding anniversary on or after the 50th.
Lastly, if you hadn't guessed by now, 50 pounds equals 3.5714285714285716 Stones
