6-8-23 Thursday Weigh-In--June Start Of Summer

[Belle]

Summer Good Old Summer

Getting older makes Summer a Bummer

 

What do you think--still enjoy good old summer time

I think I do but my body is a crime

 

No bathing suit anymore and my eating should be less

Plus really hate cooking, bbq and making a mess

 

I do miss the summers at the river each year

What do you miss that was so dear

 

Now cruises are what to do, to enjoy summers

No work, just enjoy, so  summers are not a bummer

 

Doing a cruise or same old/new summer in the sun

We still need to lose weight for healthy summer fun

 

On the scale we go --------

 

[Belle]

Sorry I've been missing but the virus got this old body

Was down and out for awhile. Really tired, slept a lot.

Didn't feel like talking or writing or anything. Almost felt like canceling

but the balcony is free if I didn't go have to pay full price for two for

my daughter. I couldn't not let her go, counting on it. She's only been to France.

Not paying and staying home--so I'm going.

 

I'm so behind in everything. Not ready for my cruise--leave tomorrow night.

Really Friday morning, catch shuttle at 3:30 am. Nice--not!

So have Thursday to get everything together and pack.

 

If you don't remember taking my daughter to Europe on the Enchanted Princess.

21 days. RT from Athens, Greece. Dread the air flight to Greece and waiting times in airports.

Know I'll be tired. Of course the 1st day couldn't be a sea day, it's Santorini and a tender.

Have to go, love Santorini.

 

Cruising from June 10th to July 1. . Won't have internet till June 17th if it works will come in.

 

Izena sorry your having trouble and not feeling well.

Jan glad your holding your own and not gainin

Susan nice loss

Welcome to the one who just join us, sebsbran (sp) If remember name right

. Know you will do well.

Good people here.

 

Everyone take care--will think of you--hoping you can eat right this summer.

It's hard I know but we're tough...now me on a cruise--will try my best.

 

Anyone else cruising now? I'm home in July but cruising again in August.

Where, when are you going?  Have fun.

Belle do enjoy the cruise!  You may not be up to par but the time spent with family is precious.

Down 1 pound this week.  Would love to be down 10 more before cruising again (August).  At the rate I'm going, might not happen.  Just to feel good in my cruise clothes is a goal.

Hope everyone has a good week!

Belle, hope you feel better - enjoy the time with your daughter.  I know what it is like to not have any energy and to be tired all the time - 

 

Alabaster Cruiser - 1# is wonderful!!!! I would love to be down at least 2# by the time our cruise starts!

 

I am down 0.6# this week - I'm very happy with it.  We leave for our cruise to Alaska on 7/13 - looking forward to it.  I have all my "stuff" packed, but DH is another story.

 

Hope everyone has a good week.  Jan

Hi everyone!  Sorry you're not feeling good Belle - hope you get everything done in time to enjoy your trip with your daughter.  Alabaster and Jan - great losses!! 🙂

 

I'm down 1.6 this week and have 3 lbs to go to my cruise goal weight.  We leave for the port on 6/30 and embark on 7/1.  My weight tracker app says I should hit my goal by 7/23 - let's hope as I wouldn't mind giving myself a bit of wiggle room for all the goodies onboard!

 

Have a great week everyone 😄

 

[Belle]

Afternoon Everyone. Thanks for the wishes on feeling better and enjoying the cruise.

I know I will. been to most of the ports doing this for my daughter.

Nice to see you have cruises booked for July and August. Aren't they great?

 

Wonderful you all had loss's this week! Hope you can to it next week too.

So, Jan, Susan, M6Nest, Izena and whoever comes in have a great day and week.

 

Will talk again when I have internet.     Take care

[Sebsgran]

I did w ineigh yesterday and was down 1.6. It's a start. I have a goal before our cruise in January.

Enjoy your cruise Belle, and congrats to the all for the loses.

We have not cruised in 10 years and have now booked two. We love cruising and are excited about being able to do a few bucket list ones.

HAve a good week!!

Everyone great losses.   Belle glad you are going on the cruise.  You will have some great memories.  
 

Finally feeling better.  Very little nerve tingling - walking more (now into the 100 weather with high humidity)  I think I over stretched when turning my head to the right while on the skiff.  Haven’t read the MRI  - sure it’s fine have appt with neuro /spine after his vacation in middle of July - if it mri was serious I would have been seen earlier.  
 

I feel like myself sleeping in bed.  Essentials to have for this aging body, recliner, lots of pillows, have stash of pain meds in case of injury - pcp only prescribed a weeks worth of lo dose tramadol - if more needed have to go to pain clinic where you are made to feel like an addict. Easier to take a carnival cruise to Mexico and pick up meds there.

 

I feel like eating better.  Need to loose 20 lbs.

Hello everyone! I have lost some weight since February and hope to lose 12 more pounds before our October cruise. I'm feeling so much better physically and mentally - I don't even mind so much having my picture taken 😄. Maintaining after reaching goal is the hardest part for me, but we have another cruise booked for October 2024 so hopefully that will be extra motivation to keep it off this time! Looking forward to chatting with you all.

[Izena]

JUST US welcome. Great you have been losing since Feb  (hardest part for me is getting started on healthy eating).  You shouldn’t have a problem losing 12 by out that 3 lbs a month.

 

I’m definitely feeling better.  Only residual for nerve irritation is numb top joint of index finger.  I’m back on a healthy eating plan. 
 

I’ll start the weeks while Belle is gone.
