Good morning all,
Just got finished reading the last few pages of posts. Girls, congrats on your weight losses. I know first hand how hard it can be. DH and myself lost a LOT of weight a few years back. I have a back fracture so doc put me on strict weight loss plan so as to keep it from getting worse. It took me over a year to lose it all and have kept it off for over 2 years now.
Now, DH on the other hand has to do things differently. He went in for lapriscoptic (sp?) gall bladder surgery. Surgery went fine but in recovery they gave him a pain killer that we didn't know he was allergic to. Started bleeding internally, went into emergency surgery and was in ICU on breathing machines etc. for a week. Came very close to bleeding to death! He finally recovered but got an gastric infection from tubes down his throat and for almost 6 weeks couldn't keep anything down but broth. Ended up losing over 70 pounds in less than 2 months! Fully recovered now and he's a buffed up workout machine. People who meet him think he's in the military or police force because of his haircut and build.
Me on the other hand figure lifting laundry baskets and doing housework qualifty as exercise!
Maybe we can all plan some walks around the ship to work off some of our treats. We can chat up a storm, get some exercise and then not feel guilty about the extra dessert we just had to try!
Really starting to get excited. I, being the planning crazed person that I am, have a 3-ring binder going with all cruise information, packing lists, tips etc. Every time I think about how close it's getting my heart starts to beat a little faster. Can't wait!
I'm planning to call our TA in next day or two to have her reserve our spot on the Anguilla Dolphin/Stingray excursion. Want to find out if DH and I can "split" the swim where one of us does dolphin and the other stingray so that the other can take video of kids. AHH just another detail to iron out. Now, where's my binder... LOL
Have a good day all.
