Busy first day back, and tomorrow will be even busier, but I will get the loose ends tied up just as quickly as possible 🙂 I returned to logging calories today. I did very good at eating sensibly, and only eating when I was hungry and within my eight hour window. My total calories for the day were 634. I won't probably do that good tomorrow, but it was nice to do so well today. Hopefully my weight will reflect that since I seem to weigh more here than when weighing at my mom's. Good night everyone!

Very early to bed crowd 😄 The number I heard was 2800 which is too even of a number to necessarily be accurate. That would put us around 94% which is very low since cruises these days are sailing at 110-120% of capacity. It could have been lower as there were definitely rooms still available for sale right up until the end, but I am sure there were more than 1500. That would be 50%. I did these cruises at 50% right after Covid, and it was much quieter than this. Just not a very lively bunch 🙂

I was a member for a few years. I didn't renew last year. I'm rethinking that choice! Genius! That seems so simple and I never would have thought of it. I know nothing about cars, is it a pretty easy thing to Google and figure out how to do?

I've switched back to energy drinks 🙂 Today's was drank on the road, but tomorrow it will be enjoyed catching up on CC before work.

The worst part is, Popeye's isn't even my vice. I'm a burger and pizza kind of guy, not chicken. But it was there, and it was paid for, so I gave in.

Somewhere between 14 and 15 lbs. I would have been happy with that number. I'm back on track now and hope to lose enough to be able to enjoy my next cruise without worriying about putting it all back on. And then there is Thanksgiving...oof.

I would be over the moon if I lost that much in one week 🙂 I am back on track even if for just a few days but I'm going to get as much off as I can before my next trip. That makes sense, but shouldn't there have been available cabs from all the people coming to board the new cruise? Port Canaveral claims to be the busiest cruise port in the world (and I'm sure there is some fuzzy math being used to reach that number, but they are certainly among the busiest) one would think there would be a lot more cabs readily availble. Miami and Barcelona both have a constant stream of cabs even for the late comers. Oh well, I know to adjust my strategy next time.

Oh yea, and I'm -1.0 today even with my poor choices yesterday. I'm feeling good about getting back on track today and my steps will come back up naturally from being on my feet all day.

Making the trip back home but to make up for no shower music I've got the car radio Borderline 🎶

Final weight gain, +36.6 lbs. That's really too bad as I have been working very hard to get it off. I am hoping by tomorrow to start seeing it come down again. I've got a three hour drive home tomorrow and start back at work so I'm going to go ahead and call it. I will try to get this wrapped up quickly with what I haven't posted and will have a better idea once I know my schedule and get settled back home how long that will take. Good night.

Yes, not the way I would like things to have ended. But it is over now and hopefully things will indeed improve. Thanks for the tip, I will mention it to Santa. Hopefully with a new battery it won't be an issue but it would be a good idea to have one as a backup.

Looks delicious. Now I need some photos of cut up noodles and I will be all set. Oh, that and a refill on the Bloddy Mary please 🙂

I don't salt and pepper anything. That includes eggs 🙂

Alaska was one of my favorite cruises!

I agree! I need a money machine so I don't need to worry about such things. The menu and service have really gone downhill so far!

Yuk! Work starts tomorrow. Lots of unpaid labor today. Unless you count Popeyes as payment, which I really should not be eating 😄

Everybody keep their pineapples in an upright position 😆

I miss being there. This is way less fun than a cruise. I'm afraid I don't have music available to me in there 🙂

I've never ordered eggs but don't recall ever getting salt and pepper with my room service. I can see why that would make eating in your cabin lose its appeal.

Thanks for following! Thanks for following along! I am very lucky to be able to travel with her I just wish that she was able to do more without being in pain. I will treasure however many more trips I can take with her however she is able to take them. A close by and inexpensive place to shop is really all she needs to be happy.

First time on her, but I've sailed two of her sister ships. Thank you for reading along 🙂 It is so and after how things have been since leaving, I wanna be back lol. Oh well, it was a great run that I was very fortunate to do 🙂

Me too! I loved her just the same, but she is so much purrtier with her tail fixed. Thanks for following along! Nope 😞

They gave me that fancy rare sticker on my name 🙂 Last night was pizza and tonight was Popeyes. I'm not doing great getting back on track. But the first couple days are the hardest plus being around my mom triggers bad eating choices. Especially when she's buying 😅

But do the plates have logos and if so, are they being lined up correctly? I sure could go for some pasta cooked by someone else right about now 😋

Thank you for following along! It's been a great trip and I can finally say I've done a TA. Not just one, but two! She really kicked my butt!
