Belle Posted August 6, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I'm sorry "me" you did not see I was on a cruise upon the sea My daughter said I want you to smile Eat lots of food and walk a mile So a last minute cruise she booked one day Said was I happy..yes..but happier if you pay You know what the answer was..now my money is less Nice to spend time with her and not have to cook or clean up a mess Alaska is so beautiful and I enjoy the small towns Gives you many smiles and no frowns So a toast we made to my husband/her father at sea Know from heaven above he smiled and did see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_In_Maine Posted August 6, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Beautiful poem Belle! So glad you had the opportunity to go on a cruise. We all missed you while you were gone! :) I leave for San Juan one week from today .... I seem to keep gaining weight - I am up about 2# this week ... sure hope everything I packed will still fit! :eek: Hope everyone has a good week.

nyer Posted August 6, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Beautiful poem, Belle. I hope that you smiled a lot on your cruise. We missed you. I am up 1lb this week. Two weeks from today is my next cruise, so I have to try harder. Jan, I am right there with you. My clothes still fit, but I am not happy with myself. Have a good time on your cruise.

retiring soon Posted August 6, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 6, 2015 HI all! Belle ~ nice to see you back here & learn that a cruise was what kept you away.:D Sounds like you had a lovely time. Last week I went up to DD & DSIL's for 5 nights to look after my grandcat & the house while they were away so didn't check in. I had lost 1.2 lbs but now after having fun & 12 meals out I'm up 2'2! Back to my heaviest ever!:( Hope the rest of you were losers!;) ~ Jo ~ :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winewanderer Posted August 6, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Hello Everyone, Belle, glad you are back. So happy you did something fun with your daughter. Sounds like you had a wonderful time. I stayed the same. Rose and Jo, we'll all try harder for next week. Jan, have a great cruise. Wishing everyone a good week. Diana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted August 6, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Yes enjoyed the time away with daughter and Alaska. I love Alaska and this was her first time. We cruise well with each other. We do things together and then things apart. Works well for us. Main thing we do is have dinner together and see the shows. I gained 3 lbs but have lost 2 lbs..1 to go. This was with a lot of walking and doing some stairs plus mostly ate only 2 meals a day. It sure can come on fast but go off very slow. Jan..Have Fun on your cruise. Just enjoy and worry about when you come home. Bon Voyage! Rose..Same to you. Enjoy..Worry later. Lucky you get an other cruise so soon. Jo..Isn't it hard to go away. Why does the weight come on so FAST! Glad you had fun. Diana..You did the best so far. Stayed the same. How's retirement going? Still fun? shootr..It's your turn Cruise42..You too. Singer4him..You too too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singer4Him Posted August 7, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I'm so glad you had a nice cruise, Belle! I've lost another 2 lbs for a total loss of 20 pounds and 13 inches since the end of May. Hoping to lose 6 more pounds before my anniversary at the end of the month. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted August 7, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Cruises42..Your body is just resting. You've have been losing every week. Maintaining for a while not bad..but I know it's makes us mad! shootr..No! LOL Your evenings not gone well? Eating to much? Jump in your pool. singer4him..Congrats on another loss. Remember if you don't lose all the 6 lbs you want, you have a 20 lbs loss for your anniversary. Everyone have a good weekend. I'm going to visit friends for a few days. What are you doing?

hdowney Posted August 7, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Welcome back Belle. Glad you had fun. So my creeping up returning weight was annoying me. I joined Slimming World last week and lost 3 1/2lbs this week :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle Posted August 11, 2015 Author #14 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Those not on cruises break your fingers? Nothing to read! Was gone a few days and no typing. Need something to read..How are you ALL doing? Write! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winewanderer Posted August 12, 2015 #15 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) I'm here....... Singer and Hdowney, great losses. Belle, hubby and I are semi-enjoying retirement, We've been very busy with an online auction trying to sell his inventory. Oh, it's so much work. We sold some stuff but not nearly enough. We pretty have as much stuff now as 3 months ago when we closed the store. In 6 months we have to move out of our building loft space (because our renter takes it over in April) and probably rent a warehouse for all this stuff we have. Ugh, what a pain!

shootr Posted August 12, 2015 #16 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Just tired of bouncing up and down with no real progress. I can eat OK for a few days, a week - then next thing I know I'm binging at night and blowing any progress. So Saturday I turned another page, drew another line in the sand, and am making another run at it. Went to Tempe Town Lake and walked a few miles over the weekend. Plenty of support from the missus, went shopping and got good stuff...been a good week all in all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted August 12, 2015 Author #17 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Diana..Sorry you have so much work to do to enjoy your retirement. Hope he sells his inventory faster. Sounds like he had tons of stuff. May I ask what he did or sold. If asking to many questions..sorry. shootr..I know it's so hard to stay on track. Why is it so easy to gain? Glad your back on track and wife helping. Your pictures are so pretty. It's nice you get out and about and share your pictures.

winewanderer Posted August 12, 2015 #18 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Hi Belle, Hubby sold audio-video equipment. When we leased our building we kept the 3,000 sq. ft. loft upstairs and it's......stuffed with stuff. We'll sell it all eventually but I wonder how long it will take. We'll see what happens......
