Fri 12 Mar

Debated this morning which was more important: an extra day of exercise given that my activity level will be different on vacation, or an extra hour of sleep. Sleep won. I expect there will be enough to do on the trip that I won't want to go to bed early or nap too often so I felt it would be better to sleep now while I'm home. We're going to try to sleep tonight from 7-12 pm if we can to squeeze some in before leaving.

This was my usual weigh-in morning so I figured it can be my benchmark of how much damage I do on the cruise with eating all manner of good things. Any other day, I would have been delighted that my scale took a downward dip to its new low, 122.2. Now I have that much more to count against whatever it is on my return. I had been hovering around 125 pretty consistently, occasionally down in the 123-124 range. Regardless, I'm sure I'll need to do some extra workouts and watch the food intake pretty closely upon my return to make up for indulgences allowed.

That's a good suggestion to try jogging on the ship. I wouldn't be moving fast enough to be a hazard to anyone and it would be more interesting than jogging on a street.


Food:

7:00 am 1 c Trader Joe's multigrain flaxseed cereal, 2 oz light original soy milk, 2 oz skim milk, 1/2 grapefruit, coffee
11:00 am 2 pancakes, 1 tbl whipped butter, 1 tbl pancake syrup, coffee
12:00 pm 6 oz Yoplait 0% fat 2X protein plain Greek yogurt
2:30 pm 1 pc Russell Stover, 100 cal pack Oreo Cakesters
5:45 pm Cheese fries, 117 g mango, 67 g baby carrots, 12 oz skim milk

I suggest using the cruise ship to start jogging in the mornings - just do a lap or two around the deck to start. It's a good way to figure out where things are on the ship, too.
