Sunny, with rain clouds and winds approaching from the northwest
It’s Day 5 and I’ve never felt stronger
Friday night calls as I enter a new chapter in my journey.
With my reserves of motivation and determination filled.
I row out into the unknown, with only a starry night and the scale to guide me.
It is I and I alone who can guide my ship to calmer waters.
Drifting into the first weekend of my challenge, I hope not go of course.
The tails of obstacles from the deep scare even the most determined travelers.
The hazards of movie popcorn, cocktails and steak threaten to through my fragile vessel against the rocks.
Fructose, fructose everywhere but not a drop to drink.
It is I and I alone who can guide my ship to calmer waters.
While my sails are full of will-power pushing me ahead.
My old life of weekend calorie binges threaten to puncture the hull at any moment.
This time things are different.
It is I and I alone who mans the rudder.
It is I and I alone who can guide my ship to calmer waters.
It’s Day 5 and I’ve never felt stronger
