Default 10 Days In The Lifeboat #20

Welcome to the newest segment of 10 days in the lifeboat.

Remember this is not a "challenge" but a place for accountability to ourselves and support.

So what is your plan for this 10 day segment?

Grab an oar and join us doing our best to stay dry.


SUCCESS IS A CHOICE - CHOOSE IT

Beginning May 14, for 10 days, I will begin my juice cleanse. I really need it because I have been having cravings and giving in to those cravings (peanut butter cups, kit kats, jelly beans, more peanut butter than I should have and all kinds of junk). So, I need to cleanse my body AGAIN and get rid of all of those toxins and crap in the crap that I ate. And I also plan to say on track with my exercise. I did good for 2 weeks and then I started slacking.

all right then, well i do not know how many days into this challenge we are, but my goal this week will be small. i am going to stop having any carb based snack, full stop. not even going to wean myself off of them. i think this is why my blood sugar goes out of wack. all snacks will be either protein based, or fresh fruits/veggies.

my long term (three month) goal is to see the doctor at the beginning of august/end of july and have my A1C and all my testing done.

Day 1 is over. I'm dry. POP and no pretzels. I was pushing the limits of OP last week using pretzels as a crutch.

Hoping for a beautiful, dry day today.

Day 2 dry!

I've got a deadline on some cross stitch so I'm keeping my hands clean and busy.

Holy mackerel!

I'd forgotten to transfer the life ring and buoys from the last trip but I've found a new set on board so the life ring and 2 buoys (3 days dry so far for me on this segment) are attached to the stern. If you need them just grab on and we'll tow you in.
