"Umm, I'll have the Lobster Bisque, the Cheese tart baked in cheese, then the Prime Rib with the butter side and twice baked potato and I'll finish off with the chocolate cheesecake and another coke... err make that a diet coke...I'm watching my weight".

I kid you not, this is a typical cruise dinner aboard the Disney Magic. When it's all inclusive, it's alllllll inclusive. I threw caution (and my calorie counter) to the wind and ate as I pleased and loved every artery clogged minute of it. We would wake up and make our way to the breakfast buffet where I'd have a fresh croissant, some eggs, maybe bacon and fruit. Then lunch would be another buffet of Asian dishes, pastas, or maybe pizza and burgers on the pool deck. Then every single night we would dress up and make our way to some fancy restaurant where we would choose an appetizer, a soup or salad, an entree and a desert. I never even let myself think about how many calories I was consuming because why bother. And after 2 glorious weeks we came home and were tossed into turkey Christmas dinners, Birthday cakes and pizza parties.

So in short, I put off getting on the scale until yesterday. I was actually not as worried as I thought I would be because Greg kept telling me I looked the same and my clothes seemed to fit the same as well. But the verdict is in...

Weight Today (post holiday and cruise): 166
Feeling: WHHAATTT?? I don't know how it happened. It must have been the walking, swimming and de-stressing. But although the numbers are not as bad as I thought, I know that a lot of my muscle has turned to mush and I feel more sluggish than before. So YoHo YoHo it's back to work I go.

Thanks for staying tuned everyone. How was your holidays? Who wants to join me in a Spring 2010 10K run??
