DreamCruiser..100 The Dream continues, A Halloween TRIPPIE, NEW 11/17

[DreamCruiser100]

Back from a long day at work. I will be going thru the cruise box tonight.
I have several SUPRISES from Tink for my DD, Tink is the only "character" my DD believes in, not Santa or anyone else ,she never really has believed. BUT TINK, yep she believes ever since she was chosen to Wake Tink at Disney one morning. Anyhoo, I have been purchasing small treasures for Tink to leave her each evening along with some fairy dust. I need to remember what I have now because I have forgotten LOL. I did purchase some pins for her to trade as long as a few special ones. I also wanted to pack little goodies for our room steward each night, I bought a small cardboard treasure chest that I am going to leave the goodies in with a note
reminding them to check the box each night

Now the bathing suit debate....YUCK....I have cellulite ontop of my cellulite I think swim trunks are the most appropriate for me, unfortunatley I am not as young as I use to be so my weight loss has left me with some elephant skin ( I know GROSS!!! ) I do plan on having an airbrush tan done so that should help with the "healthy glow" and after the 100lb mark I will be visiting Dr. Plastic OH YEAH!!!

Ok, guess I have bored you enough, next up will be itinary and packing lists OH MY!!!!!!!

To all those who have been kind enough to read and have left an encouraging word.. It is VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!!

 

[LovableGluttons]

Oh you! You made me cry too!

I used to be almost twice the size am now. I have more skin hanging off my legs than at a football factory.

I still wear a bathing suit! LOL The rest of my body looks ok, but the legs are a disaster. I have Dercum's disease and lipedema which makes the legs a bit hopeless.

So I'm an oddity.

I'm in Tampa, well, Land O' Lakes. Hi neighbor! Enjoy your amazing cruise!

 

[DreamCruiser100]

How cool, your my neighbor, Do you LIVE in Land o Lakes or just visiting??

Thanks for sharing

You could get one of those swimming suits with the shorts attached.. have you seen those? Just a suggestion.

I haven't lost as much as you but I've lost 35 lbs. in the last 14 months and I have some extra stuff around my middle to.... so I can understand where you're coming from.

Pam, I will be wearing a bathing suit even though I am sure I will be self-conscious. I don't care. I always put on shorts over my one-piece & drop them at the very side of the pool in a stealthy type maneuver.....

I love the cruise box contenet list. I will have to rummage through mine. I have to get mine together soon because I am mailing some stuff ahead so I don't have to pack it all. 2 bags a piece doesn't seem too much when you have all these costumes to pack.

I have a tankini with a skirt. Covers up part of my thunder thighs so I feel better in it

 

[sejejoemmiev]

Great Start!!! Looking forward to reading about your cruise. I hope you have a GREAT time. I am rooting for you!!

 

[101DalmFan]

Pam, I can't wait till we all meet too! (And I was SO worried everyone would be a skinnyminnie except for me...............)

Moonies -- and friends of Moonies -- this is going to be one special cruise!!

I go this route too. It's much more comfortable and you don't feel like you have to be tugging all the time!!

 

[jns]

Pam, I can't wait till we all meet too! (And I was SO worried everyone would be a skinnyminnie except for me...............)

not one here either

 

[Brianne&Sami'smom]

not one here either

Not one here either!

 

[DreamCruiser100]

I believe the Disney term is POOH SIZED

Well I am letting the diet go aside for the cruise, fortunately the thing I am
looking forward to the most is the amazing fresh fruit!!! and I do plan on walking the ship once or twice a day.....maybe I might even "SEE" what the fitness room looks like

 

[Babs417]

Maybe a group walk in the morning, early could be something we all could do

 

[DreamCruiser100]

I'm in Babs, I have a feeling I will be the first one up all cruise long...I'm actually looking forward to that quiet time..It would be nice to share with a friend

BUY A BATHING SUIT!!!!

Take it from Lovable....

You'll be FINE....

I always think I'll be the ony one who stands out at WDW - I guess I look at too many of those photos with waif like models in them (who need to have a good meal, by the way...)

Try Lands End. Their bathing suits are GREAT and they have the shorts kind also...

You may even get something on sale too.... don't forget to check the overstocks and the sale items...

Had hoped to be on this cruise with you guys but scheduling got in the way...

Have fun and take lots of pictures!!!

 

[vital]

You can count me in on an early morning walk around the ship. Just as long as it's not sweating away in the gym and outside in the fresh sea air, I'm in. Another thing I always do on a cruise is take the stairs. This time I'm on deck 2 so I'll be using them A LOT!

 

[DreamCruiser100]

Sounds like we'll have a nice group of walkers in the morning. Can we wear our PJ's and slippers!!!
