Much of that could be water retention from the excess salt in the food.  Drink lots of water.

Does the ice in my drink count 🤔

Good morning.

 

The time on my phone rolled back an hour. Very odd because I don't even have a Sim card installed. I manually adjusted it back to the correct time.

 

And now I just looked and it's an hour ahead. Goodness.

 

Anyway going to see if I can get into the dining room for breakfast before it closes.

 

You should be able to configure the phone for manual control of date & time and time zone. In Android it's under Date and time in General settings.

 

If you do turn off automatic date, time and time zone don't forget to turn them back on when you get home. 🙂

It kept jumping around when I chose date and time and adjusted the time manually so I tried time zone and chose New York and so far it's behaving.

Strawberry daiquiri extra blended ice to help my h2o intake.

Geography trivia - 6 out of 20 ouch. 

 

My mom got another duck. It's 3 to 1 now. I got some catching up to do.

Fish tacos.

I'm under the impression that gravity is higher in the Caribbean, therefore your scale is affected.

I stepped on it twice to be sure and it's mine from home. But yes let's go with that, good answer 😆. 

If I move my scale a few feet over, I can get a completely different reading.  Might be worth a shot 😉

Mango daiquiri.

I have found when I go to my mom's house I instantly lose 2lbs that I put back on when I travel back home. I'm sure that's part of the weight gain so quick.

 

Gravity is weird lol.

I'll try that tomorrow 😆 I weight before I eat and after I take care of umm any morning business so today's weight has been logged. Tomorrow may not get an accurate reading or any reading if the ship is rocking too much.

Lido lunch.

Mediterranean sampler plate from the buffet.

 

 

 

 

Very generous cuts on the cake. May have to take back for later.

 

[jam19872016]

I ate it all 😵‍💫

 

Does anyone still think my scale is wrong?

I grab one with most drinks but I confess, I'm stockpiling for Barcelona so I don't have to spend precious euros on water. 

 

Cheers ends after tomorrow so more water will be in my diet soon.

[jam19872016]

Lunch was good.

 

The fish tacos were crispy and fresh.

 

The buffet was good, and I don't usually try Carnival buffets. Even the meatball was good which I would not even dare to try if the food hadn't been so good overall so far.

 

Dessert was also good and had my stomach screaming out at me to give it a rest 😆. 

 

I think I'm gonna see about taking a nap 😴. 

[jam19872016]

Got a little nap in. 

 

My stomach is still reminding me it's upset. Tonight's dinner menu is my least favorite so less temptation to over indulge.

 

Going to get up and hit the steamroom. 

[jam19872016]

Here we go again. We've just left Grand Turk. The rolling is slow but VERY deep. I feel like I'm on a see saw. 

 

I came back to the room for a motion pill. Laying down for a few minutes and hopefully in a half hour or so I'll be fine.

 

Mardi Gras behind us.

You might think about taking bonine (or whatever) every day since it takes a while to work...might help, and I don't think you're seeing the last of a lot of motion.

You're probably right I was just feeling so much better it completely slipped my mind until we started bobbing. 

[jam19872016]

Checked in at 606 for dinner under 10 minute wait.

 

I'm gonna try.

With all the rocking I haven't been able to weight since Monday since the scale needs a flat non movomg surface. I knew it was gonna be bad but OMG....I've already gained 9.8 lbs. Holy cow.

 

Steps:

 

Is that the scale in the gym?  You could weigh a free weight and see if it's accurate.  Or not😉
