Cruise Plans

We will be gone from March 15th to March 24th. 10 wonderful days away from reality! I want to have a blast, but i also do not want this time away to ruin my rehab. Here's some plans:

1: Exercise everyday. The ship has like 3 different pools and a workout room. My plan is to get up every morning, exercise, shower, and get ready for the day. I would love to get in a hour every day, but as long as i get 30 minutes in I'll be happy.

2: Weigh. Just because i am away does not mean i can't keep up with my weigh ins. I'm going to pack my scale cushioned in a blanket. There is probably a scale some where on that ship, but i want my weight to be accurate. Every scale will read something different. Now, if i knew it would read a little less....would not mind that at all. ;D

3. Bring calendar and smiley face stickers. It's what i use at home to help push and record my exercising and i don't think leaving them at home would be that helpful. Knowing i still have to put my sticker on will be a good push to still stay active while away.

4. Bring one poker chip with me. I'm going to put it beside our bed. I want to wake up every day and see it. I want to be reminded what I'm fighting for and what's really important. The cruise is amazing, but my future health and mind set is top priority.

5. Stick with devotionals and prayer. Again, just because I'm escaping from reality doesn't mean i can forget the good parts. My devotionals are helping me so much right now and i do not want to be over a week behind while away on this cruise. I want to still make time every night, or the morning, to read my devotional and pray. God doesn't take a vacation on us. Why should i take one on him? :D

6. Allowing one day of drinking, St. Patrick's day. May try some drinks on the island, but nothing over board. Probably won't even drink that much on St. Patrick's, but I'm giving myself one day if i want it.

7. WATER. Will be bringing me and Lewis refillable water bottles and our calorie free drink mixes. Soda and a special drink will be allowed here and there, but again, nothing over board.

8. Love myself, love how i look, enjoy my time, and make as many memories as possible. AND LOTS OF PICS!

Very excited for this get away, but also excited to survive my first ever vacation without letting myself go crazy. I would love to come back with a pound loss, but the bigger goal is to come back with no gain. Food does not make the vacation. The sites, activities, and good company does. :D
