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:

Viva Las Vegas
Man, did I need that trip to Vegas. It helped me on several fronts. I was getting complacent in my weight loss. Even though I'm not where I want to be, people continually have given compliments about my weight loss. I was afraid complacency was setting in. Scratch that, complacency was setting in.
Vegas changed that, in a couple of ways.
I have a list of accomplishments that I'll share one day about my "goals" of weight loss. One of them was to ride on an airplane without feeling sorry for the person sitting next to me. And I'm not there yet. I still was overflowing into the seat next to me. So that was the jolt back from complacency.
It also led to some serious good days diet-wise in Vegas, as you'll see below. The first three days, I did pretty well on my diet while I was out there. Maybe not so much on healthy food wise, but definitely didn't pig out.
But Friday, Saturday and Sunday were a different story. I ate. And ate. And ate. Only one buffet for the whole six days, so that was fine. I also drank a lot of beer for the first time since I've started my diet.
Despite the quantities of food I ate, according to the Wii fit scale, I gained less than half a pound for the week. That was the other way Vegas changed my complacency. That made me realize that once I get to where I want to go, I can eat like that and it won't affect me, as long as I continue to run.
I did run in Vegas. On the strip. It was awesome. Lots of joggers. I ran from the Riviera past the Flamingo and back. About 3.2 miles. I ran it Wednesday and Friday.
Every other trip to Vegas I've been, my feet have hurt from any kind of walking. Not this time. My buddy and I walked everywhere. I didn't feel like a burden, like I did at my bachelor party, when I had to take extended breaks because my feet hurt so bad.
And let me tell you, weekend strip traffic sucks, so it was refreshing to be able to walk all the way to the Bellagio to watch the fountain shows.
All in all, it was a much needed trip. I needed to unwind. I haven't had a vacation in two years. And I've come back with a renewed vigor on the second half of my weight loss journey.

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!

Another 5K, another PR
Made excellent time yesterday (for me) at the St. Patty's Day 5K. Was hoping it would be my first sub-45-minute mark, and I nearly did it in under 44 minutes. I finished with a time of 44:04 chipped and 44:14 gun time. Whatever that means.
Unfortunately, it appears my weight loss has hit a plateau. And that sucks bad. Over the last two weeks, I've lost a total of 8 ounces. Half a pound in two weeks. That kind of progress just doesn't seem like it's worth it to keep trying. I need to make this week a great one, as I am going to Vegas the week after that.
