Almost at the halfway point.

Weigh-in was yesterday. I am now officially under 290 pounds. Grand total is 64 pounds. My goal when I started was to lose 133 pounds, so I'm 2.5 from the halfway point. Kind of amazing that I've lost that much and I'm not even halfway. I wish I had this drive years ago and I'd be finished now.

Vegas week looms. I leave Tuesday and don't come back until late late Sunday. This will be a difficult test for the diet. I am so glad I am so close to halfway, because I don't want to take a step back next week, and I'm pretty sure this will help keep me in check in the land of buffets and 99 cent, two-pound hot dogs. Not to mention I plan on drinking many, many beers, which I have cut out so far on the diet.

Wish me luck, and here's hoping my next weigh in finds me more than halfway to my goal!
