Cruise Weight Loss Challenge Result is In

The weigh in on Oct. 11

Recall that in a post at the outset of our cruise I challenged myself to weigh no more at the end of the cruise than I did at the beginning – and maybe lose a pound or two – even with the fabulous and plentiful food offerings here on Royal Princess

I would do this I said, through regular trips to the ship’s fitness center.  And, I would not skimp.  I would not cower before the unlimited pizza, cheeseburgers, ribs, pasta, ice cream, and the rest of it.

I weighed myself at the beginning of the cruise and wrote down my starting weight on a piece of paper that I locked in our stateroom safe.  Then,

Completing a workout - just before lunch

yesterday, on October 26, I weighed myself again.  Before witnesses, I compared my starting and ending weights.  Did those 12 visits to the gym over the last 18 days pay off?

Yes.  I lost 0.83 of one pound, which I am rounding to a loss of one pound,  Not a lot, but, as predicted, I did prevail.  I had my cake . . .

Cruise Note:  Poor satellite connections and extremely slow speeds have prevented me from posting about our last port stops - as well as our final days at sea.  I will get caught up when I have access to better connectivity.
