Inaugural 3/31/12 Fantasy Cruise

[lbgraves]

So, from the looks of it there isn't a place to stand in the front of the ship like there is on the Magic/Wonder? That is something my family enjoys doing, especially during some point of the sail away.

It has been a couple of weeks (I was traveling for work again), but I wanted to post that I lost another 3 pounds over the past 2 weeks. I am very happy with this and I am going to keep it going.

I cannot believe we are so close to the sail date now. We are starting to get REALLY excited.

Great job! Weight loss is tough and I admire anyone that can do it.

Please remember to pm me or post here on the thread if you are trying to join the FB group. I do not okay anyone who I don't hear from and know are a part of this group. We have been getting lots of requests from people not associated with the DIS or even some who are not on the cruise, but want to contact someone to get them MV merchandise.

Excellent. It is difficult getting in the right food and exercise when travelling except on a Disney cruise. I find that I get my exercise and eat healthier because of all the choices. Now only if I did not like Margarita's so much.

Worried about my FE gift. Every week, I go to Michael's with my coupon and slowly buy my supplies. On Sunday, I bought the last Shrinky Dink for Ink Jet in the store, but they said they had more in the store. Got another coupon from my mom and went to get another pkg. and there is none to be found. Ugh, I will check out the other stores in the region, I better start thinking about ordering on line. Hopefully, I do not have any issues with customs. Do any CDN's know how much you can order before you get charged? Probably depends upon the product.

Yesterday's work out really helped. I am down another 2 lbs. Now to figure out how to get back up the stairs to get ready for work.

If you use only fresh ingredients the margarita should be very good and very low calorie wise.

One receipe:

2oz Tequila (100% Agave - typically a good silver)
1oz Agave syrup (optional, adds more agave flavor but also calories)
1oz freshly squeezed juice from limes
1oz freshly squeezed juice from an orange (tho, I typically use Patron Citron)

(adjust to taste) Shake with ice and serve.

Minimum number and all calories from natural sources means better for you.

Pretty much all additions (Triple Sec, Agave Syrup, Citron, etc) will add more processed sugars and calories.

I replace the orange juice with Cointreau!!!

Replacing OJ with Triple sec - a 3.3oz Margarita on the rocks is 153 calories. Hmmm, those glasses on the cruise are bigger than 3.3 oz. I have used my water bottle, so I am guessing, I am drinking between 300 - 600 calories a day in margaritas. Hmmm, I think I will be a little over on my calorie count. I will do my best to exercise on the cruise(which was the plan), and plan to come out of the week with no loss, and no gain. Okay, I will not beat myself up if I gain 2 lbs.

Thank you.

I was always told that Disney food was made with magic and that the calories really don't count So drink up!

If you can manage to take the stairs everywhere you go on the ship, then the calories don't matter nearly as much! All my good intentions go out the window when I'm on board, but, by taking the stairs, and missing the joy that is the elevators, I have yet to gain weight on a cruise...I actually lost weight on the last one!

I agree - it does work!!

Yes I agree that the stairs work great for maintaining your weight on the cruise. I always go up the stairs and sometimes down the elevator.

Stairs are a standard mode of transportation for this family. Elevators take too long. I was surprised that the Cake Boss used the stairs. I thought they were going to lose that cake for sure.

 

[Windermere]

I think I requested a Facebook join previously but I can't seem to sign in. DH and I are on 3/31 and 4/7

 

[Elfinjojo]

Woohoo another B2B'er, we are also on both MV and 4/7, looking forward to some serious R&R during the second week, hoping the madness will have calmed down

If you are requesting to join the FB group, you need to send me a PM on here with your full name, stateroom number and who is in your traveling party. If I do not hear from someone that way or through the messages on FB, their request gets denied. Several people have been requesting to join it lately just because they are getting ready for the cruise, but are not part of this group. There are also people who just want to contact someone who will be on the cruise so they can buy them the special merchandise. Both of those types of requests have been denied. It is a closed group for a reason and I am careful to respect everyone's privacy, so only letting participating DISers into that group.

Windermere, you aren't even on the crew list so I haven't received any information from you. Actually, I did a search and this is your first time posting to this thread.
