Alabaster Cruiser

Forgot to post...sorry. Welcome back Belle! Hope you are feeling better. Had my new doctor appt. Wednesday. Blood work was good as were vital signs. Said he would see me back in a year unless I need him. That's the kind of news I like to hear. MTNest93 that was a great loss! This week I remained the same. Next week we will be keeping the 2 year old Grandson for a week. I surly will be down after that. We have until August before another cruise. I am so ready! I can just now starting to tell just a little improvement on the tightness of my "cruise clothes". Until later, everyone have a good Memorial Day! Remember what we are celebrating....Susan

Hi Guys! I forgot to post yesterday. Did weigh, down 1.5 pounds. Tomorrow is a joint birthday party for both Grandkids. Maybe I can stay busy and not munch so much😁. Inez, sorry still having pain. I do hope you have had that checked out well. Each time I hear left arm pain my mind immediately goes to heart problems.(just the old ER nurse in me). I had some leg nerve pain after a fall while catching my Mom's fall. She was fine but I wound up having lumbar laminectomy afterwards. I will never forget that pain before surgery. My prayers that it will get better. Hope everyone has a good week.....whether you loose or gain!

Hi Izena, Sorry about your stressor lately. You can get through all of this...hang in there. This week down 1.5 pounds. Slow and steady...I'll take it. Hope everybody has a good week!....Susan

Belle have fun and a good cruise. Win big! Jan, prayers for DH. Shoulder surgery of any kind can be a beast! Hope everyone has a good weekend.....Susan

It's May Belle😁! Couldn't resist. Down 1 pound this week. The older I get the slower the weight lose is. Going today to pick out tile for bathrooms. Trying to hold on to little amount of sanity I have during this reno. Also trying not to use it as an excuse not to snack. Hope everyone is doing well.....Susan

Belle, I feel your pain. We have 2 bathrooms in our house down to studs. 2 bedrooms are empty waiting for flooring. Yesterday we found out that some of the floor joists under the bathrooms need replacing due to an old (thought was fixed) leak in a shower. Calgon...take me away!!

Hi again! Belle as your poem, this week I can say " I stayed the same". Not bad in that we did attend a wedding and truly 'enjoyed' it😄. Hope this week goes a little better. Good luck to everyone this week!.....Susan

Good morning Belle, I for one need to keep coming back. Otherwise I'd have to pay weight watchers😁. There's something about being accountable to others that works for me. You would think that I could do that for myself. I tend to lie to myself but not to others. The big lie is "it doesn't have that many calories so I'll just eat one". This week I'm down 1 pound. Starting to slow down, but it always does. I have until August before cruise so I'm ok right now. I hope to be more active in the coming days also. Hope everyone has a good week....Susan

Good morning! We had recently changed from diet coke to decaffeinated sugar free. Yesterday I looked and saw calorie count of 140 on can! I asked DH what happened and he said "oh they were out of the calorie free so I bought the regular ones". I had been drinking them like water for 2 days! I was so angry at myself for not noticing the change of color of the can.😫😫😫 But, inspite of that I was down 2 pounds this week. So all is well. Hope everyone else is well. Talk later....Susan

Happy Easter to all!

Hi Izena, Just came in from trying to prep area for garden. It is 85 degrees! My dad had cattle when my parents were alive and lived on this farm. Therefore all the grass on this place was hay hybrids that were made to grow and spread fast. It is quite the chore to dig out a place to plant a few squash and tomatoes. Been trying to be good (the main word is trying). I am down 2.5 pounds this week. It always helps to have a good lose on the first week. Makes it a little more encouraging to continue trying😄. Hope everyone is doing well and will have a good week this next week. Izena we have pecan trees so a million squirrels! Not my favorite animal after we had to get some of them out of the attic. When we moved in, the house had not been occupied for a few months and they became squatters!😳

Someone just posted a huge amount of slot machine on Soltice pictures on the Celebrity Cruisers Blue Chip site on the other major forums site.

Hello! We are home for 4 1/2 months! Since starting back cruising after Covid we have done right at 30 cruises. Taking a break this summer. I had lost weight to start back cruising....and I have found it! I have put on 17 pounds over 30 cruises. Actually when I think about it, that may not be too bad. It could have been much worse! Well, I have my work cut out for me now. Izena, I hope that makes you feel much better about the small amount you have found. But we both know it will continue to "grow" if we don't address it. That's why I am back here! I have to be able to get back in my cruise clothes before August. We are hopefully going to have some remodeling at home this summer also. I know that will be stressful. So I am so glad to have someone to vent to😁. Enough rambling...good luck with weighs today! Later....Susan

That is gone. The added rocks are at the treeline.

Not sure how to do it. Will try.

Update...we were there today and their beach is gone! Completely eroded away. Jetties have been placed so unable to get in water without walking a long way down the beach. Restaurant is still nice but it is not the beach day that we were looking forward to,

Used to be a beautiful place! The beach is gone! Cannot get in the water due to jetties placed to control erosion. Restaurant is still nice but not good for a beach day. Have to walk a long way to be able to get into water.

Been there before. Took forever to get everything clean from the black sand. Not again.

Well, a lot of good that does! But I always have to wear a mask in Carnival casinos anyway.

Looks like all the table play is in the smoking section😫

You can call Gifts by Celebrity and get larger amounts. Just purchased $1000 to trigger an American Express offer.

Had to wait until a weekday. Otherwise the call goes to general Celebrity number and on one knew how to do it. Called Gifts by Celebrity this morning and both our offers created the "used your offer" email. Hoping they are approved on final bill. Thanks....Susan

How does one buy $500 OBC? When I try it is in $25 increments with a limit of 9. That is only $225 that the site is allowing me to purchase.

My husband loves the lamb shank in Cyprus on Edge class.
