  • 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 stay dry in the boat and not fall out.
  • I've got to work on this one again:

    My goal this leg is to ask myself "Is this worth it?" and answer truthfully, every time, before I put stuff in my mouth that is not part of my food plan for the day.
  • Whew Judy I thought when you asked "Is this worth it?" that you were taking about the effort we put into losing weight! Thanks for starting a new thread.
    My goal will once again be to get all my water in. When I do that everything works much better.
  • Okay, I am going to work on getting my servings of fruits & veg, dairy and water in because I haven't been doing very well with that.
  • I'm gonna declare today dry, although the day wasn't 100% perfect.

    Water: 67% (can still work on this as I'll be up for a while)
    Dairy: 100%
    Fruit & vege: 100%

    Big improvement over recent days, so I'm okay with it.

    Hope everyone had a good/DRY day.
  • Wet again.
  • Dry.
    Dry off Judy and get in the boat. I need help rowing.
    Good job Stephanie!
  • *hands Judy a towel*

    We can do this!

    Today was dry for me, even though I got a REALLY late start (zzz).

    Water: 100% (!!! finishing the last of it as I type this, but DONE)
    Dairy: 100%
    Fruit & vege: 100%

    Woohoo! A bit irritated that WW tracker is down for maintenance because I really want to plan for tomorrow before bed, but that's life.
  • Good job Stephanie!
    Got splashed but stayed in the boat.
    It was after lunch before I realized I hadn't started my water. As usual no water meant too much food.
  • So far so good today. Went to WW. Stayed for meeting. That should help.

    Steph and Ubee, tie me to my seat ..... PLEASE!
  • Judy no way we are going to let you back in the water.
    Staying for the meeting was a good move. We need all the support we can get!
  • *gets out the duct tape for Judy*

    Great job staying at the meeting. I will admit that I haven't stayed at the meetings for 3 weeks now, but I am switching to a new time tomorrow and will be staying!!

    Way to go Ubee for staying in the boat.

    I stayed dry today. Finishing up my water as I type again, but it will get done.

    I've started dual tracking (WW and MFP) over the past couple of days and it's been very enlightening. It's okay for now and it's giving me more insight into what I am eating, but I am hoping it won't overwhelm me. If so, I will continue with WW and drop MFP as WW has been working for me so far.

    Water: 100%
    Dairy: 100%
    Fruit & vege: 100%
  • Where the heck did that wave come from?
    Oh well, meals planned today so I can go out to dinner and stay w/i my points.
  • DRY???
    Judy you can do this! Go to a meeting twice a day if you need to until you get back in the zone.
    Stephanie good job!
    Anyone see Angela or Jennifer? I miss them...
  • Today was not great. I went to the WW meeting this morning & weighed in with a 1.4 lb. loss. I have been weighing in on Mondays, but I think Fridays will work better for me.

    Water was difficult today & I didn't get anywhere near what I wanted down.

    Water: 33%
    Dairy: 66%
    Fruit & vege: 100%

    I've got tomorrow planned out food-wise and we are taking a trip to Whole Foods, so I am excited about that because I have never been! I really struggle with fruits and veggies because I don't particularly care for fruit (strange, I know) and the veggies I like are very limited (broccoli & green beans are basically it for non-starchy vege). I am trying to broaden my horizons, but it's difficult. I have been an avid salad-hater since a child, so that's out. I have thought about trying to re-train myself to eat salads because it would be SO much easier, but I haven't put any plans into action yet. Scared!!
