Guest Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I had a lovely time. I've been putting all my piccies up on Facebook but I will post a couple here later on too. The QM2 was every bit as good as last year and I@m kinda sad I won't be on her next year as we have already booked Ventura. James has even been swimming unaided! My lovely new figure and fantastic dresses drew lots of comments... I even had dinner and cocktails with a man one night.... Oh and we had an officer table so got good company and some free wine with dinner on formal nights. BUT - 2 weeks of eating too much, even with being careful and not going as crazy as I used to. Oh and drinking too much - cocktails, fizzy wine, champagne etc has made me put on weight. We got home this afternoon and I went running down to Lighterlife tonight for a weigh in. and I@ve put on 9 1/2 pounds!!! So its back to being super sensible again and I want to see that GONE by the time I start my new job in September. Wish me luck all - I've still lost over 10 stone so I'm gonna get that bit back off.

Snowy Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Good to see you back Pengy - I've been following your pics on facebook! You looked fantastic! Don't worry about the extra weight - normal to put some on short term after a holiday, it's normally easy to get rid of again as it hasn't been sitting around too long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Glad you had a good time . I saw some of your pictures on Facebook - you looked fab (loved the silver dress!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I have been following your trip via Facebook too - looks like you had a wonderful time. Don't panic about the weight gain. I would say that you deserve it after doing so well! It will come back off again if you just eat & drink sensibly for a month or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Thanks all - turns out some of that weight gain is water retention. You'd think I would have learned to county by now James is playing all sorts of boat games already, I just need to teach him to play cabin stewards and I'm away! I adore that silver dress, it was much commented upon and was a last minute super bargain too - Its Karen Millen and was reduced by 75%!!

superjules Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Glad you enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing the pics on here later as I'm not on facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Oh so jealous, but very glad you and James had such a good time. I always take the view that if you don't gain some weight on a cruise, you've not had your money's worth (and if James learns to play cabin stewards, he's welcome to come and play here anytime ) Bet you're looking forward to your new job and not long to go now.
