Day 116: 265 lbs

I lost five pounds yesterday, thanks to being sick. Of course, it's all water and will come back in a day or two as I rehydrate.

But water or not, this is a milestone: I've now lost 50 pounds since I started my diet. That's almost halfway to my goal.

Not surprisingly, I stuck to my Diet Commandments yesterday, though (perhaps surprisingly) I did consume over 1,400 calories. Over half of that was from a Dairy Queen Blizzard I had around lunchtime (because I thought I could keep it down, and because it was something I never have the calories for any more). I also started feeling better by dinnertime, so I had something to eat then, too.
