[kimwim8]

Jen - I love your hair! It looks really good. Was it really long before?

Great job on the exercise too! I can't say the same for the past 2 days. UGH

Oh, and congrats on the weight loss. A loss is a loss, TAKE IT!!!

Thanks Kim--my hair was probably about 2 inches longer or so...i wish i got it shorter--but o well, now i can pulli t back on the CRUISE
i woke up this morning and started to get really excited--im just ready to go!
youll get back into the swing of things-no worries!!

and just to let everyone know, ill probably be posting here once a day while im on the cruise--not much, but in case anything exciting happens, itll be here

thanks pearl!!!

heres my today update!
i just did 7 min each on the treadmill and cardio plus another 25 min of other exercises down there---(we call the basement with all our stuff "down there" haha)..ive almost finished two bottles of water (each being 16.9 ounces) How many ounces should i aim for a day?

okay, time to go finish cleaning!

Hi Jen! (I already typed this once, and then the server was busy...hopefully won't be a double post )

According to Nancy, my nutritionist, she said to drink at least 64 ounces of water/day BUT don't exceed 1/2 your body weight in ounces.

Hope this helps!!

Your highlights look great!

WOW! Excellent job on your grades! Keep up that GREAT work!

Always take any loss the scale will show. Don't discount it by calling it water weight! You lost it and that's what counts.

This week is crazy for me, but I will check in on you SOON!

Happy Thursday! Only 3 days, right? Then you are cruuzzin!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Kim--that sounds good about the water--thats what i will try to aim for tomorrow!
Thanks for all the support! i really appreciate it!

Jaynee-Thanks for the comment about my hair--im starting to like it a bit more i think
I cant believe im leaving for vacation soon--my room is clean and my laundry is done--tomorrow i wiill clean the house and then im ready to go!!!!
im really hoping that i come back without gaining weight, but i know its a possibility..im not going to worry about it and im going to enjoy the cruise!!

ill post here probably one more time before i leave, then for some "updates" while im on board!

Thanks guys!!!

Kim--jersey is actually supposed to be "warm" for this time of year next week..but dont worry about me--ill be sitting on the deck of the ship, reading my book, with a daquiri in one hand hahaha

 

[jay-nee]

Have a GREAT CRUISE! I can't wait to read all about it. Walk the deck as much as you can and use the exercise room, it will help burn off those midnite buffet calories!

Take care...and, most of all, enjoy!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

You will be boarding your cruise soon (if not already). I hope you have a great time. Glad to hear that you packed your workout clothes. Make sure to use them, k?

At least you are warm by now, it's 12 degrees here this morning. brrrr so enjoy the warmth for me, k?

Hope you get a chance to check in to fill me in on how the trip is going, but if not, no worries, I'll read your trip report when you get back.

Here's wishing you lots of grand weather! Happy Sunday!
