  • 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
  • I plan to stay on plan with my slim-fast and bars, especially through the work week. We will not be eating out this week- saving that for the weekends to eat out once and I will make reasonable choices when I eat out and eat my evening meal. I will continue with water and have my coffee daily as usual.
  • I'm keeping it as uncomplicated as I can. I'll stay POP on WW and as I don't think I've been getting enough fluid I'll try to drink my full 64 oz each day.
  • Hi all! I've identified a trouble spot for me mid/late afternoon at work. I have far too often in recent weeks found myself eating to sooth stress/fatigue/frustration/anxiety etc. rather than having a snack commensurate with my actual degree of hunger at that time. Going to try a few approaches over the week when I return to work tomorrow and see if I can smooth out this rough spot in my day.

    Best to all with your goals over the coming days.
  • My plan is to get and stay OP. That includes counting calories(1200-1400), this needs to be clean eating and no processed carbs. Getting over 100oz of water in per day. Getting in exercise 5 days a week.

    Yesterday was a much better day than the weekend. My calories were on target but my water was way low. Exercise didnt happen.
  • POP day yesterday with exercise!
  • Happy I had a dry day yesterday. Right on WW pts and got in my fluids!
  • I'm staying dry too. Awaiting my second weigh-in tomorrow with great anticipation!
  • What's a dry day?
  • Kerri,
    A dry day is when you stick to your goals. If you don't you get wet and if the day is a disaster you "fall out of the boat". We have life rings/ jackets and warm "floofy" towels to help you dry off and get back to rowing.
  • I had a perfect day!! Feels sooooo good!!
  • Congrats dgramie it's a wonderful feeling, isn't it?
  • Really good day yesterday! Yay!
  • Aha! I've had 3 dry days so far (if I make it through this day!). Does getting a little damp count against us?
  • kerri- we have a stock of nice fluffy towels to dry you off with. We also have life jacket and whatever else you might need. Here take my hand and wrap up in a towel. Today is a new day!!

    I had yet another good day!! Cant let my guard down I heard rough waters are ahead( weekend).
