You guys are great, so many comments. Sorry, though, I haven't taken many pics. Really it has been kind of boring. I stick with Mom and she doesn't want to do much. I've done too much gambling and shopping though. We will all be soooo glad to get back home. tomorrow will be a full day. Long wait at the airport. We will be getting off the ship about 9:30am and our plane doesn't leave until about 3:30pm. that's the worst part of the trip. I miss you guys. I'll get back on here sometime after I get home, probably Tuesday. Hope you guys are doing well.
Progress as of today - -0.8 lbs lost so far, only 24.6 lbs to go!
Stopped today in Zihuatenao(sp) Didn't get off the ship since you had to take a tender (small boat) in to shore. Things are great. Gotta go.

Dernit, I feel like i'm gaining weight already. I know Im not eating right. But I am trying to eat some good things. I'm not worried though. Today we dock at Acapulco. Can we say "shopping"? The weather is hot, hot and so humid here. Of course, the ocean WOULD make it that way, right, lol. Mom and I didn't make the Halloween party last night. It wasn't until 11pm so too late for us although we did dress up in our Hawaiian outfits (muumuus) Looked pretty good. Well, gotta go now and e-mail my other half. It's his 61st birthday today. Have a good one, everyone!

Happy 61st to your husband!!
Okay, here I am on the cruise ship! So far everything is good. Hope you all are too. By Wednesday morning, we will dock in Acapulco. Wish you all were here. See ya later. This thing costs an arm and a leg!! Ta-ta!

Okay, I just had to check in this morning. It's only just after 5am here and I'm ready to go. Our plane leaves at 8. Weight went down some, took a water pill to get rid of the bloat. I usually don't take them often. Feels good. Now for 8 days of no cooking, endless food, no cleaning, no making of the bed, lol. I'm pumped!! Have a great week, everyone! I'll try to check in while on the cruise. Aloha!!
P.S. BTC, we've heard about the vaccine and my DH is checking with his doctor about it. I guess I will too. I'm feeling sort of better this morning, thank goodness, but now the pain has gone to the skin on my inner right thigh, ouch. Not a comfortable place. Take care and I'll "see" you when I get back.

Thank you all for the nice comments! I was just in a real down mood yesterday morning but it has passed. But my weight did go up again, yuck! I sure can gain it fast! I don't think I'm eating that much. I'm going to try to keep it down today and drink lots of water so I don't have that bloat tomorrow for the trip. I hope it works. I will be getting up at 4:45am since we have to be at the airport at about 7. Have to pick up Sis and BIL and then Mom on the way. We will be traveling in a group with about 75 people. I hope everything goes okay as I woke up yesterday with a lot of pain in my left hip. It's really bad and right away I thought about DH's shingles. I hope I haven't contracted that but there's no rash yet anyway so maybe it's just a muscle pull although my skin there is very sensitive and sore, hmmmm. Otherwise I feel okay. Well, this will be my last entry for awhile or maybe I can make one on the cruise. They have an internet cafe right down the hall from our cabin and if it's not too expensive, I will take advantage of that. So today I will be packing. That's about it. Bon voyage and all that, lol. Take care, my friends, and keep up the good work. I'll be back!
Progress as of today - -3.4 lbs lost so far, only 27.2 lbs to go!
Have fun on the cruise!
2 more days! I'm doomed! I'm panicking! I'm sitting here, my jeans way too tight, and I feel like crying. Why did I do this to myself?? I think I've always felt that I don't deserve to have this vacation or be thin or have fun. So I've sabotaged myself and now everything is ruined. It's way too late to lose any weight but if I keep on like this, in the next couple of days, I'll just be even fatter! And yet I just don't have the strength to do anything about it. Does anyone out there understand? I just need someone to understand. Sorry to be so down today. Isn't it ironic that someone who has such a great trip to look forward to can be so down? And yet I just wish it were over or that I didn't even have to go. What a waste! I did try some clothes on the other day and they do still do fit but not comfortably. At least I won't have to stay in the cabin the whole time, lol. I hate myself for letting this happen! I'll just be glad when it's over. Okay, you all have a great day!
Progress as of today - -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 26 lbs to go!
Please try to enjoy yourself anyway. I feel like I ruined my last holiday in America by constantly dwelling on how much weight I'd gained since the last time I was there, and how if I had only been more careful I could be enjoying myself, eating whatever I wanted. In the end I ate whatever I wanted anyway, so I might as well have allowed myself to be happy and have a good time!
Go lounge around on deck and get some sun... you will lose the weight when you get back, you always do!
Suggestion: You could do a low calories-low carbohydrates menu til vacation time and that would help with fitting into the jeans.
4 more days! I'm trying not to panic, eeeeek! Okay, today will be a very good day, I vow! I'm staying home for a change, getting some things ready for the trip and I WILL eat right! I want to keep it really low today, we'll see how that goes. Yesterday I took Mom to the doc, then Target, then we went to lunch at Macayo's!! It was yummy but look at the weight! It's supposed to go down, not up! I'm feeling really flabby too since I haven't been exercising. My worst part is the stomach, I look 6 months pregnant!! All my shorts are fitting tight around the waist but I will need to wear them on the trip. And you can't find shorts in the stores right now and I couldn't find any to fit better at the second hand stores either. I do have some muumuus though that I can wear on the ship when I want to feel comfortable. On shipboard, almost anything goes, even if you're fat and old, lol! I'm taking my bathing suit but probably won't wear it. But who knows, I've seen worse old ladies than I am wearing bathing suits on shipboard before. I may just want to get some sun or get in the jacuzzi(?) Anyways....
I forgot to mention, I went bowling by myself on Sunday morning, the DH has shingles and didn't feel like going. I bowled 6 games and did pretty well. 192, 175, 196, 215, 216, 203!! Not bad, huh? At least I'm good at something, lol! But I had fun. Then I went shopping and didn't get home until about 3pm. I had left for the bowling alley at 8:30am!! So lots of exercise that day. But the eating wasn't good, thus, I am still fat, lol!
Okay, time for brekky and I'm hungry! I didn't eat past 7 last night and I woke up at 3:15am feeling hungry so time to eat. It's almost 9am. Just a small bowl of the instant LS oatmeal and green tea. Then I'll just try to avoid the food until the next time I feel hungry. That's the plan anyway. I feel so gross! Well, hope you all have a great day. I'll try to get back here later and read. I miss you all!
Progress as of today - -1.8 lbs lost so far, only 25.6 lbs to go!
It's okay, after four days on the straight and narrow, you'll feel much better. You know how it is... it takes just one day for us to feel like we've been doing it forever!
Not much time today. Couldn't get here yesterday, puter problems, still not worked out completely. As you can see, not much progress with the weight. I'm going to just hate going on this cruise at this weight!! I had all that time to lose it and didn't. But I'm trying not to dwell on that and ruin everything. And when I think about it, it really makes me very mad at myself. 5 more days! Okay, brekky is ready and getting cold. Have a great day, my DD friends!
Progress as of today - -1.4 lbs lost so far, only 25.2 lbs to go!
Well, I knew it wouldn't last but 2.2 pounds in one day?? Can we say "water weight"?? I knew I was retaining because I woke up in the middle of the night with my right hand numb! My rings still fit this morning but kinda tight. Another Bad Soonie day yesterday! But today will be better. I'm up, I didn't want to this morning, but I'm going bowling, with or without the DH. I forgot to mention that he has Shingles! In case you don't know what they are, it is caused by the chicken pox virus and 1 out of 2 people over the age of 60 get it. His started out with pain in his left ribs and he thought he'd bruised himself there. It lasted for a few days so he went to the VA hospital to get it checked out and a small rash had started in the same area. Right away they knew what it was. It can last a long time and causes the pain and rash in certain areas, pretty uncomfortable. So I don't know if he feels up to going bowling. He needs lots of rest. He's on an antibiotic for a week. Anyways... I'm going to spend this week busy, busy, busy, and I'm going to try to exercise as much as possible and eat right. I know it's a little late (lol) to do much good before the cruise, but anything would be better than what I've been doing. Stupid, stupid, stupid Soonie!! *kicking myself*
Okay, this time next week, I will be on my way to L.A. and the cruise. It is my 9th cruise. Can we say "lucky Soonie"? If you had told me 20 years ago that I would go on one cruise, I wouldn't have believed you! Okay, gotta go eat brekky. Have a great day! And thanks for all the wonderful comments. You guys ROCK!!
Progress as of today - -2.6 lbs lost so far, only 26.4 lbs to go!
9 cruises!!! Dang Soonie!! LOL Thats awesome that you have been fortunate to have all those experiences! One of these days I would love to take one..maybe for my 50th birthday? LOL You are going to have the best time!
Have a great day!
Where are you going on your cruise and how long will you be gone? We will sure miss you, Soonie!
