Welcome to the newest segment of 10 Days In The Life Boat.
This is not a "challenge" but a place for accountability to ourselves and support from our fellow rowers. So, what is your plan for this 10 day segment?
Grab an oar and join us doing our best to not fall out of the boat and and get wet. We need to meet our goals to stay dry.
Hey J-Ann, I'm back, you're doing great! I had about a week of binges, then started to get it together yesterday, but over ate tonight, not a binge though. My goals are tba later tonight lol.
Hi Judy and Candid.
Just wanted to let you know I am OK.
Going to take a break from 3FC while I work some things out in my brain. I have to step back in my personal life as well and hope they will be as understanding as all of you.
Stay strong. We will do this
Ubee, understood, take all the time you need, we'll be here. Way to go J-Ann, I'm planning to join Weight Watchers next week (Monday) I'm so excited! The meeting I visited is pretty lively and fun, I'm inspired! Also I'm hearing great things about the success of Smart Points, I'm hoping it helps me eat healthier and less sugar (one of my vices).
I went to my WW meeting this morning. I missed last week due to the weather but in the last two weeks I've lost 8, count 'em eight, pounds! I guess staying home and not having fast food calling to me for no reason except it's there as I drive by, paid off big time!
Candid, Sugar and carbs are my downfall. I tracked every bite and was very aware of whether or not I was really hungry. Amazingly (well, not really) I was not hungry between healthy meals. Defeating head hunger is a huge goal for me.
8 lbs! Whoa, you're kicking butt, whatever you're doing is working keep rowing girl!! Do you give yourself rewards like new clothes, or perfume when you hit goals? Right now planning to treat myself to a new shirt with my next goal (about 6.8 lbs from now give or take .2 lol ). Since my internet debacle (which still isn't right, but at least I have some very slow cellular internet now) I've gained around 20 lbs from what was my lowest, and now I'm working my way back down. More than that, I'm definitely aiming for new lows, that said I had a talk with myself and realized it is just as admirable to regain and lose than to never regain and be on a losing streak. In my case I think it is a bigger deal, because in my past I've been known to get discouraged in the face of adversity, namely talking about weight loss. So my determination to overcome this, is a sign of growth. So where a month or 2 ago I wouldn't dream of rewarding myself for hitting a number I've already seen on the scale, I would now because I know I've earned it.
I've been doing well the past couple of days, eager to become a Weight Watcher, I'll post tonight with my status.
Eta: February 18th ended happy and dry .

I may go shopping in my closet and see what old clothes might fit soon.
Candid, I lost 75 then regained about 50 so I still have about 33 lbs to go before I can restart "losing" weight. I refused to restart my WW clock since I kept up my WW membership during the gain. It's my reminder of my goals. My mini goal is a bit less than 4 lbs. away.

Ubee, Candid Camster, anyone? I'm talking to myself here.
