I’m Going On A Cruise
July 23, 2008I have a new incentive to lose weight. My friend has just won an overnight stay on a cruise ship and she has asked me to go with her! We sail from Southampton to Brugge (Belguim) overnight, stay in Brugge for the day and then head back. It is in September. I cannot wait. Everything onboard is free except for alcohol, and we plan on finding some mugs nice young men onboard to fund that! I have to buy a nice new posh outfit so I want to lose some weight and look great! I am going to get a new ‘do and everything. I am so excited!
I had another manic weekend. It was good fun, met a new man but again I don’t think anything will come of it *le sigh*. Still, it was a fun time… Monday I was so worn out from the weekend excesses, it wasn’t really tiredness so much as a huge lack of energy. Tuesday I felt a bit better so I went to the gym. I didn’t have as much energy as I would have liked for my workout but I got through it best I could. Today I woke up with the flu so that explains my lack of energy lately. I am hoping it is just a 24-hour thing though so that I can go work out again tomorrow. I have my cruise to get slim for!!
I cancelled my wwonline subscription. It just isn’t working for me at all. I am up and down like a yo-yo. I am trying calorie counting again with weightlossresources.co.uk as I have had more luck with that in the past, so let’s see how I go with that.
I keep buying and eating strawberries, which in itself is not a bad thing. But according to Gillian McKeith they raise your sex drive and I really do not need mine raising any more than it already is! LOL
What an excellent incentive. My only incentive is for a company picnic…I simply don’t want everyone to see me grow larger every year. I think the cruise is a way better reason. You should hang the new outfit up where you can see it along with pictures of a cruise ship. September is not too far away but far enough that you can make a great change!
A cruise… its been 16 years since I’ve been on a ship… oh, and it was SO much fun. As I remember, there was lots of eye candy as far as men went.
I didnt’ weight Monday… so I dont have an update for the challenge. Hopefully next Monday!
I think I need to sneak some strawberries into Hubbys dinners!! LOL
Rachel – I won a cruise once actually. It was 1989 and it was just a half day around the bay where I live – on the QE2. Princess Diana was onboard and while onboard I won a trip to the Bridge where I got to meet her. She came across as rude, arrogant and self centred… not that I like to speak ill of the dead… but the trip itself was amazing!! I was 12 then… and yes it is a fabulous incentive!! Are you writing in your blog again yet?
Tigerlily – yeah I was rubbish at weighing in this week so I thought we’d give it a miss this week and do it next week. Twice the effort, hopefully!!
I have never been on a cruise. I definitely would like to at some point. Imagine meeting Princess Diana. …it is interesting to hear what you thought of her as a first person account. Her death doesn’t change your memory so you aren’t speaking ill—just speaking a truthful memory….and an interesting one at that!
And yes I am writing again. I appreciate you asking. I am going to try to be more faithful with it.
Sounds like an awesome goal to work toward. For me, my goal is to compete on/in Ninja Warrior.
