THAT,:huh: is what we need to work on ....we need to change the thread to Like Minded Lushes with Low-Cal Snacks that Satisfy our Lushy Cravings

^That^ is funny!!

I didn't drink last night...but I wanted to. If I drank, I would have gone over calories and I was too lazy to work out. :laugh:

Faith, I SO love your drunk posts!

I think I'm onto 16th or 18th. This is good right as I'm not onto 21st yet!! whoop whoooop!

Yep must be 18th as I'm onto the next mixer lemon lime and bitters. Crap not so good but better than last week right?! I rule and so do all of you!

Be strong all of you, stronger than I. You can do it and you will. I have cut 3 shots from last week, let's hope I cut another 3 next week!

Monday - 0
Tuesday - 0
Wednesday - 0
Thursday - 0
Friday - we'll have to see. It'd be huge if it was 0

I don't get the munchies, alcohol completely suppresses my appetite. Whereas my boyfriend and his friends will end up making a full course meal of anything they can find haha.

16 shots and I think I'd die. I steer clear of the hard stuff, though I love my Jameson and Ginger ale and dirty martinis.

2 weeks from today and I'll be boarding the cruise ship =] I hear they have an all you can eat lobster claw thing during the sail away party. I'm going to get up early to work out that day. Plan is to leave around 8 so we can drive to New York in a timely fashion and board the ship relatively early. Guess we may all chip in and take a limo so nobody has to leave their car but that hasn't been finalized. All I know, is I'm still going to cry when I drop my pups off with me mom, even though we aren't flying. I honestly can't stand leaving them and I'm pretty sure I have worse separation anxiety than they do haha

I was reading all the posts about drinking munchies and I am glad that this doesn't happen to me often. I actually am more likely not to eat when I'm drinking. But every now and again I want some Taco Bell on the way home at 3am. However I tend to make poor choices the day after. LIke right now, I really don't want oatmeal for breakfast. But I also don't really have a choice as I'm at work.

Same here! Sometimes when someone else has something yummy I want it but I don't eat on my own usually...the next day is a different story. French fries and bacon, please.

Faith, I'm impressed! How's this morning going for you?

Yup and yup. This is SO me. I rarely eat while I'm drinking..unless I'm having wine with dinner.
The next day is HORRIFIC for me though. I want a double, double with onions from innout with fries!!

Another night without booze, 11 days dry, 3 to go, although I actually am drinking on Saturday so I guess it wasn't a perfect 2 weeks, a Sunday to Saturday.

I am still going, I wish I could keep count better :grumble: I love you Amy's, Kim, Robin, Pam and others I haven't mentioned. This is us lushes. Amazing beautiful people with the same goal yet we never judge.

I did a cruise about 8 years ago and took clothes with the intention of working out and actually did about 3 days. The best part was that there was a running track on the top deck and I was running laps literally in the middle of the ocean while we pulled into St. Thomas. It was beautiful. I never visited the gym though. Have fun!

This is my 5th cruise. I've worked out a couple of times on some of them but never the whole week. I'm hoping having the MFP app and getting an internet package so I can use it, will make me work out more. Though, somehow, I've never counted before and never gained. It's a different cruise line this time so I'm excited to check out the gym =] Since we leave on a Thursday, I won't officially be into my recovery week so I've got to bring my Legs and Back DVD and I'll do it in our cabin on that Friday, along with ab ripper. Then from Saturday on, I'll just have to worry about cardio and stretching I really can't wait though, I love cruising so much, unfortunately there are no deep sea fishing trips on this cruise but I'm sure there some other fun excursions and there's always the beach or just hanging out in the adult section on the ship :glasses:

We cruise about twice a year - I think we're on number 15 now. I never ONCE gained any weight on a cruise! There is so much walking involved especially since we get cabins at the very back of the ship to watch the wake. And taking the stairs up and down is so much quicker than the elevator. Which cruise ship and which ports? I want to go! Are you over at www.cruisecritic.com? Lots of info and message boards and there is a roll call for other people sailing on your ship on the same date.

Faith, I'm impressed! How's this morning going for you?

I was looking for healthy side dishes or appetizers and found a recipe for fried Green Bananas. I tried it and it was pretty good and way less calories then french fries. Its still fried so not great for you but you can use olive oil and it satisfies that craving for a supersized fry at the fast food join!

Uh oh...Faith, are you drowning in shots??

My daughter went there the summer after 5th grade as part of a Student Ambassador group. It was nerve wrecking as a mom to send her half around the world but at the same time I was so damn proud of her. She called me one morning (like 5am here)to tell me good night.. It was so wierd! She came back with the most beautiful pictures and amazing stories! She loved it there!

Yeah me too! All of you would be a blast to go bar hoppin' with!!! Me? Day 3 has come and gone and no booze. Yay!! I'm doin' good! And I i got the rest of my blood tests back and everything is normal!!! (except for the elevated liver enzymes part) Kidney function- normal. Brain cells- all in tact. (that one was surprising! ) So one month of sobriety and I go back in to check my liver and I bet i'm gonna be fine!! Yay!! Oh and Good Morning, all!! Just awaking up, out here in California.

We usually take Carnival but this time we're going Princess. Wanted a change of scenery and a bit more adults than kids and college students haha. I don't remember all the ports but we're going to Puerto Rico (which we've left out of before), Grand Turk, St. Thomas and maybe one more? We've stayed on St. John before in one of villa's and went over to St. Thomas and it was a lot of fun. I think we'll get off the ship more this time, now that we know we can find some great dives and bars if we venture away from the ports. My boyfriend is constantly on the boards reading about the cruises, I myself would rather just wait and then explore the ship and experience things as they happen, then again, I don't have the attention span to sit there and read all those boards haha. It should be a ton of fun, especially since we can bring as much wine as we want :drinker: I like wine but love champagne so we'll be bringing a good deal. Also, since it's a little bit more up scale than Carnival and it's more geared towards older or rather a more mature audience, drinks after 8pm are $2.99 or $3.99 which could be the devil in disquise :devil: haha. We always try to save money on booze and then the last day when you get your bill, ours is literally a couple pages. We even brought pretty much a full bar on the last cruise and still spent about $1500 or more between the two of us :noway: Guess it's all part of the experience though haha. My weakness is the shops on the ships, I love the jewelry!!!
