Well, after working at it for 11 years, last night, I turned in the capstone project to earn my Masters Degree. In the past, I would have rewarded myself with something like red velvet cake. But instead, I am going to reward myself a session of ice skating (I have to drive an hour each way for that) and possibly a facial or massage.

Linda...congratulations on a terrific accomplishment. I admire you. It was while I was earning my degree that I piled on the most pounds. School can be so stressful. I applaud you.

That is a significant accomplishment! Congrats.
You do have to celebrate, but I agree, red velvet cake isn't the best idea....

Great Job on your Master's (that takes true grit and determination!) and fab choices for rewarding yourself!

I agree with Rebecca I think you should get a Red Velvet jacket, that would be so much fun to wear and a great visual reminder of the amazing changes you've made.
