I'm still not eating perfectly, but I am doing better - and it's showing on the scale.
I managed all my mini-goals for diet (drinking water, fruit each day, no fast food).
My exercise plan is much easier for me to stay on. Commuting by bike gets me the majority of my miles each week, and the Vibram foot fitness and 100-ups are helping with the plantar fasciitis - still scared to actually run but I can walk and jog more already.
I completed Week 3 of the 7 Weeks to 100 Pushups, got 2 Spartacus Blood and Sand workouts in, and logged 61 miles between running and cycling.
I dropped the sit-ups because we purchased an inversion table; I'm doing inverted crunches instead.
Best workout of the week - Lindsey and I took the dogs cycling with us. Hercules ran part of the way, but mostly they got to ride in the bike trailer. Lots of fun - we enjoyed it and they did as well.

New mini-goals:
Diet:
1. Grapefruit. Ugh, can't stand grapefruit but I keep reading how good it is for you. So I'm going to try to have grapefruit twice a week.
2. No bottled dressings. Already started making our own dressing with Greek yogurt, will expand this to a homemade Caesar dressing (Greek yogurt-based) and a citrus balsamic vinaigrette.
3. Continue drinking plenty of water and eating fruit 1x day.

Exercise:
1. Vibram barefoot exercises and 100-ups 6 days/week
2. Continue 7 weeks to 100 pushups (Week 4)
3. log 50+ miles
4. Spartan Blood and Sand circuit training twice this week
5. Stretching on the inversion table twice a day
6. Inverted crunches 3x a week

258.0 lb Lost so far: 12.0 lb.    Still to go: 58.0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
