Sea Dog

I’m weird when it comes to pie. While I’ll eat a fruit pie if I have to I’d much rather have a chocolate pie or even better a French silk pie. I love chocolate.

Great news Sue even though you had some heart pounding moments. Love to see some pictures. Glad you back at it. I’m pleased that I’ve been able to do my workouts without going to a gym. At some point I may join a gym to fine tune but so far I’m having success here at home. Thank you. It’s amazing what some rest and water will do for the body. I have to chuckle and that’s what I love about Dani’s thread. We talk about everything from septic tanks to how much underwear do you pack. I’m a +Packer. Rather have too much than too little. Bottom line is that I pack for a large suitcase and a carry one. If I can’t get everything in those two suitcases it doesn’t go. Underwear is the one thing that I will change every day. Pants and shirts I may wear more than once. For the cruise in a couple of weeks I will only pack 4 pairs of pants to cover the 7 nights. The only other item I pack a lot of is my Sea Dog tee shirts. I’ll take at least 8 of those and I have 4 polos with the Sea Dog logo embroidered on also. If anyone sees me with my Sea Dog shirts come up and say hi.

Yes I’ve learned my lesson no need to lose it all day in 6 months. And water, water, water.

Yikes what a mess you had to go through. I’m hoping when we board Symphony in a couple of weeks the Key will have signage and be organized. I Jesé’s to be a gym rat in my younger days. I need to remember I’m a lot older now and don’t have the stamina I once had as a youth. Wow what a story Maryann. Yes I have some obsessive compulsion tendencies that when I do something it’s all out. I need to remember how old I am. Thanks for sharing your story and I’m glad you weren’t seriously hurt.

I second this. Santorini and Mykonos are a must see.

Those are some mighty fine looking pies. Enjoy!

Much better thank you for asking. Yesterday I slept most of day. I monitored my blood pressure and it was good all day. I think I am going to chalk this up as overexertion and dehydration. I drank more water and gulped down some gatorade and felt more with it. I just think I have been pushing myself too much, plus lack of sleep, not enough water and exercising too much. I'm glad it's not covid. I do need to keep an eye on my blood pressure numbers as I have lost a lot of weight and my meds may need to be adjusted and hopefully some day get off them. Thank you for caring.

Tasting pleasure along with all your other senses. Have a fantastic day!

Good luck in the tournament! Hoping they take it all.

The only way I would that is if they had showers too. I think the office could get pretty stinky if people couldn’t clean up after exercising.😉

Great news George. I'm glad you are being proactive. Wishing you the best.

I think ultimately that's what I want to do. I have just been really motivated to get the weight off plus with two cruises coming up in Sept. and Oct. I want to eat anything I want and not have to worry too much.

Oh how I love that cat! I don't think I could get up too.

Good for you. I've needed to lose weight for a long time. I just didn't have the time to exercise. Now I'm retired there is no excuse.

That's what I was thinking. Never been to the Miami terminal before.

We have a 10:30 in Miami in a couple of weeks and have the "Key" what's an acceptable time to show up?

My doctor is off on Friday's so I am going to see how I do over the weekend and call next week on Tuesday. Right now I feel better but tired. I am not having the dizziness and vertigo issues and I'm drinking more water. It could be that I have been just pushing myself too much. I've been on a mission to lose weight and have been working out hard. Everyday I do the elliptical for 45-50 minutes standing (watching an old episode of Below Deck) then another episode sitting down on the elliptical pedaling. On the commercial breaks I use a dumbbell and do 15 arm raises each arm and then take the dumbbell and do lateral swings from side to side for 20. After the Below Deck episode is over I then do pushups (As many as I can do) and then 200 crunches. My wife thinks I'm just doing way too much. Maybe I am. Worse case if I don't feel better I'll go to urgent care. Puppies have been sleeping me all morning. Lizzy likes to plant her head on my cheek. I need to have Linda take a picture of it.

@Tree_skier So glad you liked the Old Fashioned.It's my go to.

Thanks everyone for your well wishes and concern. I went to bed at 8pm and slept till 8am. I still have a little bit of a headache and what I would describe as brain fog. My balance is ok this morning. I took my blood pressure and it 129/69. @brillohead Thanks for your suggestion of doing my BP both sitting down and standing up. Hope you feeling better. I guess good news is that I took another Covid test this morning and it was negative. Which in some way I was hoping it would be positive so that I would have a definite cause. It could be my blood pressure meds now that I've lost weight. I'm not going to exercise today and rest and see how I feel. The main thing is want to feel better than I do now as I've got a cruise in two weeks.

So I just took a COVID test and it was negative but I got some weird stuff going on. Yesterday and today after my workout I started feeling dizzy and lightheaded with some vertigo issues. All today I’ve had a headache and felt really really tired. I took my blood pressure thinking maybe my blood pressure meds need to be amended as I’ve lost a lot of weight but it was in an acceptable range. Tonight I made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and some Kraft Mac-n-cheese and it tasted funky. So I’m going to bed early tonight and take another COVID test tomorrow. This is really weird. Anyone else have issues of dizziness before testing positive?

We got 10:30am. Hopefully it will not be a zoo. I totally agree and would be ok with that. Whenever we had made reservations in the MDR we also let them know when our specialty reservations were to give them a heads up that they do not need to hold our table.

Ha I forgot about that. Winner.....Winner......Steak Dinner! Did they ever compensate you?

So sorry. I hope you feel better. Guess it's good to get it now and over with before your cruise. Our roll call is real weak. There is more activity over on our group on FB than over here. Winner.....Winner....Chicken Dinner!!!!!!

Lol yes that's true. I should have taken my afternoon nap so I would have had more energy last night. 😁

Oh I know. I just was saying I'm an idiot for not thinking it through.
