3-31-2022 THURSDAY WEIGH IN - Last of March

[Izena]

Good morning everyone.   CDC  has lightened up on Covid restrictions.  I’m not sure how soon it will be before we don’t have to get tested before cruising , but at least the end is in sight. 
 

Recovery is going great -  only 17 days since surgery - walking 2.5 - 4 miles a day  ( about 25 min miles / hour)  Jazzper loves the walks.  I’m keeping myself isolated until drains are gone (one removed yesterday). Surgeon says increased output is very my walking.  I’m think the walking is good for my body and piece of mind.   
 

I’m trying to eat healthy.  Not going to get on scales for another month (when swelling  disappears). 
 

Timmy you must be excited for cruise - it’s coming up fast.

[Belle]

I'm back--Healthy--Wore my mask the whole 30 days--crew did and other smart people too!

Had a good time, people from last cruises remembered me, got some extra gifts, was nice. candy, wine flowers and free dinners. Am I spoiled or what? Enjoyed my time with my daughter on 2nd cruise.

 

Thanks, Izena for starting the post, I did too, saw it posted and then this morning--- Gone!

Glad you're doing so well after surgery. You're a new person with a new body. Congrats on all the hard work.

 

WNW (will not weigh) usually I don't gain on cruises no matter how long, but this time can feel

it. What I get for cruising with my daughter she made me eat more--Not, I just did it myself.

Give in to more things this time especially when drinks were free and of course love the fancy

ones. (Loaded calories) Plus haven't been good since I've been home.

So, setting tomorrow April 1st as my new starting weight. Take it from there. Know it April Fool's Day but I'll try not to be one and eat too much on my starting day.

 

Hope you all had a good week.

[Belle]

Where's everybody?  Weigh-in Thursday--you come in even if not weighing today.

 

No one missed me?

[Ombud]

Isn't today Thursday? Brain fog. Anyway stuck at 32". Really would like to be 30". Maybe some day. Hunting down the booster. I still need it (& mask) for Philharmonic + getting an antigen test on 4/20 (boarding 4/23)

 

Yes we missed you Belle.  Free drinks? Yeah that would be too tempting for me. 

 

Izena walking so soon after surgery is inspirational 

[Izena]

Ombud and Belle nice to hear from you.  
 

Belle welcome back.  Glad you had a great time.   I would probably do well on extended cruising.  That is if I could resist taking snacks back to my room.  I’m not a drinker (longer family hx of alcoholic - decided not to start)   I am a sucker for  soft serve ice cream cones.  
 

ombud.  I started slow .  Actually borrowed a rolling walker from a friend after I  fainted in the bathroom  3rd post op am ( scared my son  and his girlfriend  —  911 - ambulance bp 70/30 - er I’ve fluids and home. )   Used the walker for a few days    I’ve maxed out at about 2 miles for an hour.   Walk alone and don’t feel need to push for speed or distance just need to move.

Good afternoon wherever you are or doing.

Know some have cruises this month, think Jo, Jan and Ombud.

Am I right?  Let me know when you're leaving, please so I can keep track.

I recommend that you wear your masks on your cruises even thro they say you don't

have too. I wore mind the whole 30 days along with the crew and other smart people.

Didn't stop me from having fun. Felt safer and came home feeling great.

My opinion only!

 

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with the post with being on the cruises

and dealing with things this weekend. Will try to come in more now.

 

My idea to start eating better and cleaning the house starting April 1st didn't work.

April Fool's Day on me. As usual I will just keep trying as we all do.

 

Izena I hope each day your feeling better and better.

 

Hope to see more of you coming in today.

[Belle]

Nobody Home?  All Cruising?  Can't be---Speak up!

 

How's your day, week eating going?

[Belle]

Is this board over?  Miss the talking.

 

I'm having a hard time getting back to eating right doesn't help haven't

gone food shopping since I got back. Just not in mood plus hate to see

the prices. So, eating what I have around. Kinda good, cleaning out things.

 

Tell me what's going with all of you. Remember this post is for everyone. See we have lots of views and no talking.  We need people in here to help us all lose

for our cruises and to stay healthy.

 

Come one come all and join us we need your tips and advice, and we try to

help you too. Weigh-in each week helps us be accountable whether we

have a good week or not so good. Keeps us going--we won't give up.

This posts those who are at goal too. Helps you stay there.

I'm here just a little overwhelmed getting ready for Passover.  Maybe others are getting ready for Easter?? 

 

I need to focus on healthy eating too. For some weird reason the bottom size stayed the same but up top I went up a size so the outfits I ordered are going back. 

 

Next cruise 04/23/22. Wearing my mask inside

 

Belle, please keep thread going even if most just lurk

[Belle]

Good afternoon Ombud and Izena. I think Jan is on a cruise, is Jo?

Newcomer Timmy, is, I think. Why so quiet now.

 

Ombud is your Passover before, after or the same time as Easter? Your cruise is

close, how nice. Know so unhappy how our bodies change at times. Don't think

all our fault at times. The people who make the clothes now the sizes just aren't

right anymore. Use to be wore one size now you can have all different sizes and

they all fit. What's going on with that?

 

Izena hope your continuing to heal. Also, sorry forgot to thank you for starting

the weigh-in while I was gone.
