March 8, 2010--Dieting Scorecard (225 lbs)

Morning Weight: 225 pounds
Diet Goal: 219 pounds (6 pounds to go, 0 pounds lost)

Got up at 4:45 this morning as usual, then rested for a couple of minutes and suddenly it was 5:35. This is how my efforts start to fall apart. I was up till midnight working on the photo project, something that I need to do every night this week, and getting up to walk at 6 is going to be tough. That might have to be the way it goes for a few weeks and that will be okay IF I don't start eating extra food for "energy" to get me through the day. When a person gets tired and overworked, they really have to dig deep for the willpower necessary to stick with a dieting plan.
