Day 19: Potassium & Willpower

I am supposed to take a minimum of 2 tablespoons of liquid potassium supplement every day.  I have missed a few doses over the last few days and I'm starting to notice the lethargy setting in.  Okay, so this could just be in my mind too.  However, as I walk up the two flights of stairs to my office, I notice how heavy me legs are feeling.  It isn't just once, I've noticed this over the past two days.  It's a good reminder that I need to do everything properly on this diet.

I also am still not quite reaching 800 calories every day.  I know that must sound crazy, but it's true.  I am almost amazed that I have this much willpower.  I truly thought I was pretty weak-willed when it comes to food.  I guess making the decision and setting my mind on the right track really made a difference.  As I mentioned in a previous post, I have thought about cheating, but never actually cheated.

Tuesday will mark three weeks since I started this diet.  In many (make that most) ways it feels like I've been on this forever.  Hopefully I can stick to it through at least the new year.  Several of the members of my group have set a goal of 100 days.  That will take me to mid-January.  So here's my goal:  I will go 100 days or until I have lost a minimum of 75 pounds.  Right now I am at Day 19 - only 81 more to go!
