headin' on out soon....final goodbyes...

[ohiominnie]

Well, guys. This is goodbye for now. It's only for a few days (wish it was longer--no offense to anyone here!)

We're leaving for the airport in 3 hours. Our plane leaves in just over 5 hours. In just over 7 hours we'll be landing in Orlando!! Tomorrow we board the Disney Wonder for a 3 day cruise.

The BEST part is....the kids don't know. They're upstairs in the tub now, so I can type this. They *think* we're taking grandma and her dh to the airport for THEIR Disney cruise, but actually, we are ALL going! woo-hoo! Can't wait to see the looks on their faces.

I'm going on this cruise 22.5 pounds lighter than my cruise in May. I've asked my dh to take pictures of me in the same locations so I can compare the differences. (one will be heading towards him holding an ice cream from Scoops, a picture that did NOT flatter me then, I'm hopeful I'll look MUCH better!)

When I'm back I'll try to post my progress pics.

Weight gain on the cruise should not be an issue. I'll eat anything I want (selection wise) but will only eat when I'm hungry and will stop when I'm satisfied. I've gotten it down to know exactly what my body needs so that I AM hungry at meal times. For awhile there I wasn't eating with the family b/c I was still full at a meal time. I'll also take the stairs whenever I go up or down. And then there is the workout room....maybe I'll check that out if I'm feeling energetic. Would LOVE it if they ran WATP tapes daily!

Well, must go. I hope you all stay well and healthy while I'm gone. Don't miss me too much!
God bless!

Please please please tell me how you did on your cruise.
We'll be on the Magic in 6wks and Im thinking of how to handle the food/drink. Any tips are much appreciated.
