That sounds fantastic Kev! I understand your concerns with the food and it's great that you have done so well with maintaining a healthy diet. You've been through a lot and you don't want to do that again! One thing I've read about for times like this is the 80/20 rule. If you can stay right on track 80% of the time then having a treat, the 20%, won't undo all your efforts and you're not consumed with thoughts of what you may be missing. My problem is keeping to the 20%!

Yup, that's me! Wow, that sounds like a fantastic cruise, Kevin. I hope you have a wonderful time.

One good way to burn off the calories from the continually offered delicious food is to walk around the deck -- much more fun than just a regular walk on land.

Please let us know how it was when you get back!

Were both quite good at resisting Kelley, just a little treat here and there and what I learned about cruises also is choose the fish off the menu quite often and try not to eat many carbs, like bread & potatoes, I love nice fish so all should be ok

We did a lot of deck walking on the last cruise Kathy, and I visited the gym a few times which was right at the top of the ship, it mustve had the best view of any gym in the world, here it is;

This cruise is aboard the Golden Princess

Golden Princess is a Grand-class cruise ship with Princess Cruises that entered service in 2001. She is the sister ship of Grand Princess and Star Princess. She measures 109,000 gross tons and carries 2,600 passengers plus 1,100 crew members

Gorgeous! I mostly walked but did not go near the gym on the one cruise I went on a few years ago, but a view like that would definitely motivate me to hop on a treadmill or elliptical.

Uh oh....She has two sisters? (Kidding -- Titanic, Olympic, and Britannic were all sister ships

)

Part of the reason I had a hard time resisting the food was that it was so easily available -- no cooking, no dishes to do. That's my idea of heaven.

Again, Kevin, enjoy!

Yeah, Kev. I used to like to look at Julie. She was cute. But then they made her look glamorous so I stopped watching the show.

Jeez. They can put a man on the moon but can't make a cruise ship that also does inland lakes.

Do they have internet on these cruises or do people actually have to ... gulp ... speak to each other?

They do, but it costs a small fortune. There is TV, though!
