Also, I need to start going to bed earlier. No more 5 a.m. lights out as the sun starts coming up. No more getting up at 1 or 2 p.m., when I have to be at work no later than 3. No more sleeping half the day away, no matter what my screwed up 3-11 p.m. work schedule allows for.
For the next five weeks, I’m becoming a creature of habit. Hopefully, it will last long after that. But I do understand now that a habitual routine is imperative to my success. More importantly, I am realizing that things don’t just become habits. I must turn them into habits.
And, as an added bonus to this weekend edition of The Fortress, I’ve included a little before and after action below. The first shot was taken right before the 100 Days in winter 2005, the second one was taken last Thursday.

Look at how great you're doing! Thanks for sharing the pics. It's so hard to stay motivated. I've been trying since last Sept. to lose for a reunion that now is next month and I haven't gotten very far. For a little inspiration take a look at DonateMyWeight.com Nothing to buy, etc. Just this guy named Ben who has lost 100lbs., but making a difference at the same time. Pretty cool.
Good luck to you on your next five weeks.

You don't look too shabby (besides that arm hair and that real creepy look on your face).

I have been shocked and awed by the picture- the after one where you don't look like a large marine mammal that wound up on land. I'm concerned that you may be so attractive as a thin man that you may turn me gay. That would really screw up the wedding - and Martha would undoubtably have you killed. Keep up the good work at your own risk.
