12 Days before vacation Posted by Sonali on 9/9/2019, 12:17 pm Hello everyone! Just checking in. I am still holding tight. Just have under two weeks before I am on vacation. I am glad Dorian is over. I am sad about what it did to the Bahamas (that's one of the islands our cruise will be stopping at) Good luck everyone. Keep on keeping on!

Re: 12 Days before vacation Posted by Sonali on 9/11/2019, 11:40 am, in reply to "Re: 12 Days before vacation" Thank you Ann. So far so good. I have been on SS mode and have been feeling a different shift (lightness on my body). I am on ketosis now as I have the bad breath/smell effect LOL not hungry at all... I have been waiting a long time to get to where I am. I am even thinking of taking my shakes with me on the cruise LOL not sure if I will but I am committed to SS until I arrive to Miami next weekend. I've lost a lot of weight too (mostly water weight I am sure) but the numbers on the scale have kept me motivated and going.

Re: 12 Days before vacation Posted by Ann on 9/11/2019, 11:58 pm, in reply to "Re: 12 Days before vacation" Good for you on your weight loss. I have 100 pounds to lose and will turn the big 65 in January.This is day 3 for me so we both have halitosis. What will you do if you get swept off your feet by some romantic stranger? Be sure to pack mouthwash. Stay strong. I am trying not to get on the scale cause I go off my diet if I am not losing.

Re: 12 Days before vacation Posted by Pam T on 9/11/2019, 3:29 pm, in reply to "Re: 12 Days before vacation" I'm happy to hear that you are doing well Sonali. As far as taking your shakes on the cruise, I have had many clients over the years that took frequent cruises and they made their Cambridge work for them. Most even still managed to lose a little. I think the trick is to eat just one meal a day of cruise food and use your Cambridge otherwise. It keeps your appetite calmed down and as long as you don't go overboard (pun..sorry!) on carbs like sweets and breads or other grains you should be fine. Avoid them altogether if you can. There is lots of delicious foods in the proteins, fats, and above ground veggies to enjoy. Alcohol is another decision to make. If you are in ketosis it can hit pretty hard so beware of that. It also is a toxic load on your liver that you are currently cleaning out of fat and glycogen (sugar) which lowers insulin, your fat storing hormone, so just take all things in to consideration when making your choices. Whatever you choose to do, enjoy and know that you can get back to it when you return. So you will be visiting the Bahamas? What part?

Ports Posted by Sonali on 9/11/2019, 6:11 pm, in reply to "Re: 12 Days before vacation" Thanks Pam. Appreciate the input. I'll see how I am doing next week. For now I am just focusing in the now LOL taking it day by day. We are flying to Miami, staying a couple days then going on a 5-day cruise which will be going to: Nassau, Half Moon Cay & Grand Turk. Looking forward to a much needed vacation.
