50 days and 5 years

Big day today in a few different ways.  First, it's been 50 days since I started eating better and exercising.

Terrible picture...

MyFitnessPal is kind of irritating because it uses your first log in as your starting weight no matter how many years ago that was.  I haven't lost 11 pounds, I've lost 31 pounds.  I definitely feel and look better.  This is easily the longest I've ever done this kind of thing for, and it's starting to feel more like the way it is and not some divergent diet behavior.  Here's hoping for another 50 days and another 30 pounds, though looking at how this one broke down, it will probably take longer than 50 days for the next 30.  The first 20 or so came off very quickly, the last 10, particularly the last 5 was a little more hard fought.  Though since I've been following Wayne's workouts, the decline has picked up a bit again, so that's good.

A few months after we started dating

Even more important than 50 days, is 5 years.  I've been with my beautiful girlfriend now for 5 years today.  I'm really at a loss for words.  I love her very much, she makes me happy, keeps me on track and inspires me to be great.  I can't imagine life without her.  5 years down, 50 to go.  I love you Audrey!

More recent, a couple of months ago

After class today I'm going to pick up her favorite pie and salted caramels.  We're going to go out for sushi, but not till Saturday, since our schedules are so opposite right now during the week.  Today is a good day!
