    This makes me feel a lot better about going on vacation next week! I'll be with my grandma in Florida and that lady looooves to cook (and she's good at it!) She has a pool, so I'm going to take advantage of that and do my strength training early to get it out of the way!

    Thanks for the inspiration!

    That has been my biggest area of concern. I do not want to derail my progress. My husband had arranged for us to go on a cruise in early August. I remember my past overindulgences.

    Supposedly stress hormones interfere with weight loss. So perhaps relaxing was a factor, as well.

    Great to hear! My boyfriend and I are going on a cruise in October. I'm not really all that worried about gaining weight on the cruise because I pretty much never sit still! I do plan on sampling all the different food (within reason) on the cruise but I also have us planned to the max on active things to do. Every port we are snorkeling, scuba diving, bike riding, climbing Mayan ruins (super excited about that one), etc. Also looking forward to all the different active stuff to do on the boat... especially the new ropes and obstacle course!! (Yep, I'm a 30yo kid).

    I rarely gain weight on a cruise. I make DH take the stairs everywhere and stay active as much as possible. We love roaming around the ship, so I'm sure that helps!

    Aggies-I'm cruising in Octover, too. What ship and when are you going? We're going on the Magic, October, 28. :smile:

    Cool that we're on the same cruise! Our last few cruises have been with a group of friends, but not this one. Now, I'll "know" someone on the ship. :smile: This will be my 7th cruise and I still countdown the days! I'm excited to go on a new ship. If you have any questions or want any tips, I'll be happy to help if I can!
