Do you eat all the amount of food on refeed?

[Andy46]

Does it take you 2 days to get home ....where to where are you gong !!!!!!! ........and maybe if you ask someone they would help you get the correct amounts that you need to alter your pre packed amounts - its not that much really ...but if thats what it is ...............thats what it is .......its all a challenge to us sometimes and we have to do what is best for US - thats the important bit.

Where do you live and what work do you do !!!!!

Hey, Andy... it's not really such a big problem, if I pushed it, I could, but really, I dont even feel hungry. Yes, I woke up at 3 am and couldnt sleep, but I'm totally ok and other than getting bit more tired every day, clumsy and some cramps in my muscles, still no huge signs... I get a little bit more hungry before lunch, maybe, but after lunch I'm still ok, feeling full... If I woke up and thought about a horse (heard a hunger you wanna eat a horse is a sign), I would push it and get those shrimps delivered somehow...

I live in Europe, but right now I work on the boat in the Bahamas. I get to come to States once in 5-6 weeks, which is now, but due to some flight problems we have to go back earlier (today) and I'm waiting in my hotel room for the call from the airport, with all the luggage in the car and prepacked food an everything. Scale, everything is packed.

I work on the boat and take care for 14-20 people (cook 3 times a day, bake fresh deserts every evening, am dive instructor and the dolphin human connection - we take people swimming with wild dolphins...I am photographer and just make sure people have fun). So, I am on stand by for dolphins and reefs and sharks every minute and usually they show up when its time for my meal...

So, the logistics are hard on us, all the food, everything we have to bring from States and everything for the boat... the island we're on is 3rd world, has nothing, no stores, nothing, so I have to be 100% prepared at least a week ahead.

I prepared refeed meals for the first week 2 weeks ago already - all waiting for me frozen in the freezer. Even blueberries, everything premeasured and prepacked. For the second week, when I start implementing more stuff, my assistant is flying back that Friday, so he will bring me some fresh figs and stuff from Whole Foods, so that would work out great, too.

I kept asking my consultant if it's ok to go to States for few days, so close to refeed, but yet knowing it might happen during being there and she said I can prolong it for few days, even a week, but not longer...

So, I will have to go through travelling today, getting back to the boat tomorrow (we have to bring the boat back to our port in the middle of the night when the tide is high) and then I will be able to start, that's why 11th was first option realistically anyway.

Thanks for your worry!!!! Feels nice... thank you!

Mate after reading that I think we need an Australian conference about re feed at your place ......... it sounds good to me and I understand now why you have to wait ..... but mate you will find its so worth it !!!!!!

Personally, I think we need an "International" New You Forum Admin Conference on board the boat to get it sorted. After all it is sailing part of the time in "U.S." waters as well!

I think that if you haven't been reading Maya's diary, you need to do that. What an amazing woman, and such an interesting diary.

Yeah, well, I'll hopefully be in the USA in about 4 years time... Hopefully...

With any luck Maya will still be there. I love diving

[sundaymorningstaple]

That's going to be one of my rewards for completing this program and regaining some fitness. I going to start diving again! Not commercially like I did for 15 ~17 years but scuba like I did before becoming a professional. Who knows, I've dove the Barrier Reef once back in '94, might have to make another trip down under again!

You guys are so cute!!!
I actually didnt wanna bring it up what I do... most of people dont know what I do...but how can I explain my problems and fears and obsticals and happiness other than telling what I do?

And honestly - I am not sure how much longer I will stay. I love what I do, but... I have a weird need to go on... I helped to bring this where we are now, and feel I wanna move on, another project, where I can develop more talents, use my knowledge...you know...
So, we might even meet on some other ocean???

That would be cool!!!!!
Anyway, enough - this thread went completely on a different path...
