Our ship for the 2010 Low-Carb Cruise - at port in Nassau, Bahamas.

Lots to talk about and today just zipped by me.  And sadly I still have some things to finish before I can really take the proper time for a decent blog post. So for now you just get this.

I came home from the cruise with a fire lit under my behind. I’m telling ya peeps, I’m pumped and ready to go! I started the Slow Burn regimen again today. I got to see the results of this amazing workout while on the ship and I am more than impressed. I’ll talk more about that soon.

Today I also started a no-diet-soda attempt. I failed miserably the last time I tried it. And I ate more. But this time I think I am armed with enough knowledge to make it work. And if I see the results I think I’ll see, then that will be all the more fuel for the fire. Again, I’ll keep you posted on this.

I gained about 4 lbs on the cruise. (I ate low-carb, but ate too much all together.) As of this morning I’d already dropped 2 of those lbs, so here’s to hoping the other 2 disappear quickly as well and I can get back to making progress. I have approximately 35 lbs left to my goal, but I’m not going to go so much by weight, as by my measurements. I want my size 6′s to fit again. So what ever weight I am when my 6′s fit, that’s my goal. And with Slow Burn I think I’ll get there soon.

I am still working on photos from the trip. I have about 100 finished, but I still have many more to finish and put up. I’ll be posting them on my flickr account and sharing them here as soon as I can. I also have some fun video to post on youtube, so be looking for that.

I am looking forward to next years cruise with great anticipation. I’m told every year just gets better and better, so next years will be extra awesome!  And you have no idea how thrilled I was to meet some of my readers and internet friends. Not to mention I made some new friendships that I believe will last a lifetime. Add that to meeting some of my low-carb heros like Dr. Mary Vernon, Dr. Davis, Jackie Eberstein, etc. – it was such an honor! I hope you will join us next year. I promise you will not regret it! And I have to give a hat tip to Tom Naughton. Not only is he a great guy, he did what no one else has ever been able to do… he got my husband on stage to sing with him in front of lots of people. If you know John, you know what a miraculous feat that was.

Ok friends, I gotta run. Dishes and laundry beckon me. I’ll try to be back yet tonight with more.
