    Welcome to the newest segment of 10 Days In The Life Boat.

    Remember 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.

    Lots of goals this week.

    1) Stay on plan (Mon/Tues ~ 1,000 calories, low carb. Wed-death ~ 1,500 calories)
    2) drink my water
    3) Run 15 miles (3x5 miles or 5x3 miles, doesn't matter)
    4)Get back into the 180's

    I don't know what goal to set myself for this leg. I don't seem to be able to maintain focus on water or veggies, so I guess I'll just tackle water for this ten days. So: sticking to WW points, exercising according to plan, and 64 oz. or more a day. This leg will include the start of a vacation, so the end might get challenging.

    Update: Yikes! I did *not* get my water in. I could chug 2 glasses right now, but I do not want to be up all night running to the bathroom... Tuesday I must work harder on water.

    I'm just getting to setting my goals for this leg.

    It's to defeat hungry (when I'm not) thoughts, and to attend my WW meetings.

    I went to my WW meeting this morning and was able to tell myself "No, you are not hungry" when the cravings hit yesterday. So I'm dry!
