The cruise was amazing! It was better then i thought it ever could be. I didn't bring my scale and i have skipped the last 2 weigh ins. I could not find a good spot to pack it and was to stress all the movement it would go through would mess up the insides. I didn't weigh when i got back due to extreme swelling...my poor ankles! I did exercise while away and the 3 days we were off the boat we walked, walked, walked, and walked some more. LOL Food was free anytime and anywhere. We did eat alot, but thankfully they had small portions...we just ate alot of them together. LoL All and all i feel good about it on the health front. I tried snails, lamb, and mussels for the first time. We also had lobster tail 2 nights on the ship. Mmmmmm!
Sadly since we have been back there has been alot of fast food, soda, and little exercise. I totally brought the relaxation home with me and since we haven't gone grocery shopping yet there is not much at the house to choose from. That will be solved this weekend. Not only has Lewis finally decided to loose weight with me, but the less we spend out now the more we can save for our next cruise. HeeHee We really want to go on a western Caribbean one that sails from November 3-10. Liza's dad and partner are going and sissy and Liza may go as well. Talk about a great get away with all of us on board!
Back to the health front though. I'm so tired of starting over and making new plans, but it is what it is. I don't think i deserve my chip this month. Yeah i did ok on the cruise, but i still ate when i shouldn't have and have just been horrible since i got home. Not chip worthy. Like i said above though after the cruise Lewis finally said he was ready to really loose weight. After seeing how many clothes he can't fit into in our closet now...really shook him up. He has even decided to give up soda. Crazy! But good! We start our weigh ins again on April 1st. Whoever loses the most weight each week gets to pick a movie to either rent, watch on netflix, or go see in theaters. He liked that idea. lol Also, for every pound off $1 goes into vaca fund. Aka next cruise fund. HaHa My goal is to be at baby making weight by my birthday next year: 160. It would be amazing to be at my goal weight, 140, but i don't want to push to much. Slow and steady wins the race! Just need to keep repeating that and keep strong. The ultimate gift to myself next year on my birthday would be the Southern Caribbean cruise i found that is 11 days long. :Sigh: Sounds like heaven to me! What better way to celebrate?! :D
I was giving up making an end date, but that has just lead me to make excuses. If you have nothing to work towards why worry when you flop. Now i have a deadline and possibly an amazing get away to work towards. As you can see....the cruise life has totally pushed the baby making ideas out a little bit. I wouldn't to try in January, but i don't think me nor Lewis will be ready. My body sure wont be ready. I think i shall go back to my old plans of getting my spring baby. My pills end next March. That gives me April, May, and June for my body to regulate without the pills. June we can start really trying and if everything works otay we shall have our little spring bundle. :D
I can finally say i love myself as i am right now. This cruise really helped me. This is the biggest i have ever been and i still had a wonderful vacation. Weight does not define your life! It's not healthy, but it's not who you are or what your life has to revolve around. I'm ready to get this fat off and love the slim, healthy me even more. The next cruise...i shall be one hot Summah! ;D
