SweetPea Posted June 3 Author Report Share Posted June 3 Ok, here's the thing. I'm going to say this, even if indelicately. Because i do think that some here can relate, even if you're not responding. Once you've been fat, your head always thinks you're fat. I'm down about 28 pounds from my previous blog (which is a lot on my 5 foot 2.5 inch frame). I have another 20 pounds to go before I'm comfortable again. This cruise is definitely derailing that progress, and I'm struggling with that. I absolutely DO have a nutritionist (Her name is Paige so i don't have to keep typing nutritionist) that i text all the time (Batman just doesn't believe I'm doing so this late ATM). You have to find what works for you. Diets don't work for me. I do intermittent fasting 20:4, which means i only eat in a 4 hour window and Berberine helps. A lot. It's impossible to be strict on a cruise, nor should you. I've been telling myself that one week isn't the end of the world and I'm fine (Paige and i had that convo many times since she's an avid cruiser too and has the same issues). I'm doing ok letting myself relax. The problem is that my stomach has shrunk and literally 4 French fries fill me anymore. Lord knows I'm making up for it in liquid calories. I'm really struggling with the food waste I'm advancing. If anyone can relate, just know you are not alone.

SweetPea Posted June 3 Author Report Share Posted June 3 You're just going to have to trust that these were PB&J shots. For the amateurs out there, that's Screwball whiskey (PB) and Chambord (jelly) And after i took a sip before snapping a pic, pistachio shots CravingaCruise, Lovetocruise2002, Neesa and 5 others 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetPea Posted June 3 Author Report Share Posted June 3 And because another bartender offered us a pistachio shot The second one was better. They make them differently. Apparently now we're getting Kami Khazees (sp) whether we want then or not. And oops. I didn't click ok on time.

SweetPea Posted June 3 Author Report Share Posted June 3 Let me knock out dinner last night before i lose my charge. Unpopular opinion, but i do like Jamie's better than Gio's. I know the partnership with Jamie's ends soon and it will all be Gio's, but it sounds like they are going to revamp the menu when that happens. We shared the meat plank I had the lamb chops and a half order of all the deliciousness that is truffles. Batman went with ribs. We drank our dessert. Don't act all surprised. I actually got a doggie bag ... CravingaCruise, WAAAYTOOO, Robert M and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neesa Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 (edited) Those were my famous last words when I left Cabash underwear home!

I how Batman is blog famous for this and doesn't even know it. For the record, I've seen his umdergoodies this cruise so i can confirm with certainty he has them! BTW, only about 40% participated in white night (we did). I snapped one sea of white And hello from the armpit of the Bahamas. Actually, unless you're a private island, i hate the Bahamas in general. Also, I'm swyping on my phone and my keyboard's first choice for "private" was "perverted." That would have been an unfortunate mistake. Unless you're a perverted island ....

SweetPea Posted June 3 Author Report Share Posted June 3 This far, only the rock climbing wall on our side (Starboard) has been open. Batman thinks it's because it's both the beginner wall and the advanced wall and can handle 3 climbers at a time, with half way up, as well as at the top. The port side one only has 2 and only at the top, none midway. CravingaCruise, Lovetocruise2002, Jax and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the new Giovanni's Kitchen is pretty comparable to Jamie's. IMO The only thing Jamie's has over Giovanni's Kitchen is the truffle pasta. I am not a fan of OG Gio's at all.
