Live From The Carnival Freedom: Crossing the Atlantic for a New Whale Tail

[jam19872016]

Did 14 laps. Will go back later and do another mile.

 

Cooling off with a Bahama mama. 

 

 

Think it will be dinner soon.

[jam19872016]

Checked in at 630 with under 10 minute wait. 

[jam19872016]

Sailing away.

10k but as my trends reveal, I've done a terrible job meeting my goal. I have not cruised since April.

 

 

 

 

 

The only nice thing is there is zero correlation between my activity level and weight loss.

I have found it's about what you eat and drink as opposed to your exercise for weight loss.  Still good to exercise for cardio health, stamina, bone density, endorphins but one would need to walk like a pioneer across America to really make a dent in what most people eat daily.

Exactly what I have found. It's still good for so many other thing so I keep it up but it does nothing for weight. Diet has been the key.

 

Diet is suspended obviously 😆.

I was a personal trainer and I'd tell my clients, hey vacation is great but when you get home, no more vacation eating or drinking.  Back to your daily program or else it becomes a slippery slope.  Now watch, I'm leaving for Rome Oct 13 and I'll need a can of Crisco to get me in my formal wear🤣

Oh absolutely, I start and stop all the time. Lost over 100 pounds in just over a year just by dieting.

One of my favorites!  If you like tequila, a Fiery Tropical Passion Martini is delish! Alchemy will need to look up the recipe.

[jam19872016]

Dinner has been excellent tonight. Could have used more marinara sauce with the cheese but hey, it was fried cheese it was still good. 

 

First night was also delicious. Very happy with the mdr so far this trip.

 

Huge improvement over recent trends on carnival.

Tequila is a hard pass for me 😆. I do love spicy drinks though.

[jam19872016]

Bitter and blanc and double roasted pineapple at 735.

Dropped my mom off at her room and now I'm back in mine. Gonna chill for a few minutes then finish my walk and then get one more drink and that might be it for me. I'm not gonna push it, we are definitely rocking again although not as badly.
