Okay, so as I mentioned before I was going to Vegas for 6 days and was going to fall behind on my updates and blogging in general. I figured I would give a little different update here explaining how I handled NYE and a Vegas vacation.
As of this morning, which is a relative term since I took the red-eye in, I weighed 232.2 pounds. This is down 1.4 pounds from my Monday after Christmas weight in. I have to admit I had no clue where the scale was going to come in at. I had eaten 2 pieces of pizza less than 7 hours before that weigh in so it may even be a little high.
My NYE was spent drinking the night away in Las Vegas and having a pretty good time. As usual it would have been nice to have a special lady friend to share it with, but all in good time. The rest of the week consisted of very little sleep, lots of drinking, lots of gambling, and eating badly when I did actually eat. Now that is the funny thing about Vegas for me, since I tend to gamble over long periods of time I tend to not eat because I am so caught up in the gambling. Therefore, my one bad meal a day has not hurt my weight loss in the past, in fact, I have yet to go to Vegas and actually gain weight. This has allowed me to not worry about logging during this period of time, I just enter 3 1300 cal meals a day in order to keep my overall calories roughly in check, but I dont really record, so no pretty graphs this week.
I updated my blog on new years day (link) and wrote a yearly recap. In case you do not feel like checking it out here is the most important part.
Goals for the New Year:
- Hit 200 pounds and be well on my way to 10% body fat by the end of the year.
- Complete the last two sections of the CPA exam.
- Complete the Tri-Shark Sprint Triathlon in Hudson, IL (6/3/11)
- Complete the Chicago Olympic Triathlon in Chicago, IL (8/28/11)
I will get back to my weekly updates now that the holidays are over and I will hopefully continue a nice path to weight loss.
Thanks for reading!

Funny, sounds like my trips to Vegas, although I tend to pretty much drink water. I always find that I have lost weight when I go to Vegas but it comes back very quickly, and I really wonder if it has more to do with the low humidity there and then coming back to the midwest and getting rehydrated.
Doesn’t seem like there should be anything in our way from this point but I know the last time I lost weight I had a hard time keeping it going after new years. So I really need to focus.
