Too long in between posts

 So much has happened in the last two weeks. In fact, I have mostly forgotten to keep up with my food diary the last half of this week. I'm hoping I can piece it together, but the last few days of this could be completely off.

I have surpassed the 75-pound lost mark. Closer and closer to the big 100 mark and almost 60 percent of the way to my goal weight.

Today was another milestone as well. After three months of consistently running 3.1 miles, I ran 4.65 miles. I felt outstanding after I was finished.

Nothing really to add here. Just cruising along. I promise I will update more frequently.

Halfway there!

As I posted on my twitter account: 69 pounds down, 64 to go. It's been nearly five months. Aside from my clothes fitting differently, I honestly can't tell anything. I still see fat when I look in the mirror.


However, people keep showering me with compliments. I honestly am not liking it, as I'm only halfway there. When I complete the goal, compliment away. But complimenting me now makes me feel like I've accomplished something, when in actuality, I haven't. I'm still fat. Way too damn fat.

I haven't had the best week diet wise. Saturday night, another family birthday celebration. I ate way too much dinner and then I ate way too many snacks -- cheese and crackers. Yesterday we had pizza at work and I devoured eight slices of cheese pizza. My plan was two. I talked myself into four. And at some point, four became eight. It's ridiculous how little willpower I have. I already am expecting a shitty weigh in day Friday.

Anyway, here's my last week's worth of food diaries:
