    Norwegian Breakaway - Thoughts

    Update on this post. We cruised the breakaway, from NYC to Bermuda in October. Pros - The haven was amazing, I don't think we would cruise Norwegian again, if we did not book the haven. The haven pool area and outdoor seating area were quiet and relaxing, with great service. The flexible dining...

    Chef Mickey's Bunch

    Reservations this morning/afternoon. Awesome addition to Chef Mickey's. The chocolate chip pancakes were great, mickey waffles were great, salmon was ok, ribs were not good. All that being said, thought it was a bit slower than dinners that we have done before, and had they not added it, we...

    Has anyone here cruised on the Norwegian Breakaway out of NYC? Considering moving from a DCL cruise to the Eastern Caribbean to the NCL one that goes from NYC to Bermuda and back. Thoughts appreciated. Mike

    Can't decide on resort

    Agree, with the time planned at the resort, age of kids, and park plans, I'd stay with the BC. Taxi to animal kingdom on the park morning, then head back to Mk or the hotel depending on the evening park. Stop by bw bakery before your morning walk to HS, then take a break before going into...

    hydroflask?

    The good morning America deal was great. Hydro flasks are great in the AZ heat. The growler and the 40oz with the flip top are good for ice water, the 18oz wide mouth with flip top is perfect for coffee.

    The podcast team hasn't done everything in WDW!?!

    Kevin - I find this amazing, I would never have guessed that a tip across the river to Tom Sawyer's Island would be a new experience for you. This is one of our must visits when we go to Disney World. If you are a Mark Twain fan, it is great to see the books come to life with a some...

    Down 3% on the bodyfat as of today, and holding steady. Still have ~3 to 4% to go. I've added 2 lbs of lean body mass, while trimming fat, so I am moving in the right direction. Biggest struggle for me is ice cream & chips/salsa. Best fitness purchase of the year so far, armour39 by under...

    I'm joining Teresa and Kathy on their journey to health. Who's with me?

    BMI is a tough indicator. It works for many, but misses those on either side of the bell curve. As an example, my BMI is 30.8 - which is obese. My body fat is ~15% @ ~215 lbs. even at my target of 195, my BMI would be 28 or overweight. However, at 10% bf, I would have 19.5 lbs of fat and...

    Steve, catching back up on this thread. Have you read "why we get fat"? In it is an interesting read, and aligns with many of the themes of the paleo diet. I'd be interested in your thoughts. Thanks, Mike

    I'm joining Teresa and Kathy on their journey to health. Who's with me?

    Good question Steve. 3 methods - bodyfat scale, caliper, and hydrostatic. Tanita BF-680 - (weekly) The percent reduction will be based on a baseline established using a tanita body fat scale. I understand that multiple factors (i.e. hydration, consumption of alcohol, time of day, etc.) can...
