Wednesday Weigh In.....On Thursday!

Last Weigh In Weight: 167lbs (5/6)
This Wednesday’s Weight: 167

Sorry for the delay! I actually wrote the entire thing yesterday but had not finished yet so I didn't post and then the day got away from me!

My trip was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I will definitely be a cruiser for life; it is absolutely the way to vacation! The cruise ship was HUGE and there were like 14 flights of stairs so I decided to take advantage and so I basically took the stairs everywhere I went. Once or twice I took the elevator but that was about it. They also have a track on like the 11th floor outside that if you walk around it 7 times it equals a mile so I did that once. I got lost a lot on the ship lol so I walked the entire length of the ship countless times just trying to find my way around lol. I never went to the gym itself but I definitely stayed active.

Nassau, Bahamas was beautiful. We had a nice tour and spend the day on the Sandyport Beach and swam around with Sea Turtles. =) 

St. Thomas easily had the most gorgeous Landscape with all the hills. It rained a bit and was a little scary going up the HUGE hills and taking hairpin turns although. The beach, Magen’s Bay was really awesome. It was like in between to huge hills so you were in a valley basically and because it was a bay, there were no waves. It was the most clam water, really pretty. 

St. Maarten had really pretty landscape as well but not as beautiful as St. Thomas. We had a really nice tour in St. Maarten, spent a little time shopping and an hour or so at a nice beach. It definitely had the best shopping out of all three places I went to. I can’t really say which I liked best; I liked them all for very different reasons.

The ship itself was one of the best parts of the trip. There were endless things to do for entertainment. Big productions every night in what they call the “Encore Theater”, comedy shows, live music in several areas, karaoke, trivia games. Then there are the pools and Jacuzzi’s and the huge water slide. I would definitely suggest never go on a cruise that has more port days than days at sea, you want them equal at least so you can really enjoy the ship.

I have not gotten around to sorting my pictures yet, there are a lot of them! I will go through them and post them all in a couple of days! =) Glad to be back to the blogging world!

Update Before I Take Off!

Since I am going away tomorrow and will not be around the do my Weigh In Wednesday I thought I would update you today. Actually I was going to post regardless not specifically a weight update as it has only been two days since my last BUT......I felt different when I woke up this morning. I know that sounds super corny but I did. However, I didn't step on the scale because I've seen the same stinkin number for so long I couldn't bare to look down and be disappointed AGAIN!!!

As the day progressed I slowly convinced myself to weigh, and when I did........167lbs!!!!! Holy Smokes! I am in total shock. I have seen 168 once or twice before only for it to go right back up before my weigh in but I have NEVER seen 167! It's funny how your body just lets you know "hey you feel different" lol, and it was right! =)

So I officially 85lbs lost! Wow that is such a huge number I cannot believe it. I obviously didn't make my cruise goal but at this point I am just happy to see the scale move at all before I go! =) I just want to make sure you all know (sometimes I feel like I don't say it enough) that I really appreciate all your comments of support and encouragement, they truly mean so much to me! =)

You will hear from my next week and I'll be posting lots of pics!!!

Oh and one last thing, I updated my "Who Am I" page if anyone is interested!
