Thanks Sue! It really is a way of living! It really does make a huge impact on how you feel, doesn't it? 5.5 mile walk! That is awesome!

You know, cruises used to be my downfall. I used to think, oh I'm on vacation, that won't hurt. I will just go back on my diet when I get home. However, it never happened. I could always find an excuse when I got home and kept putting it off. "Oh, one more day won't hurt" was my mantra. I know that happened on SAND. It took me awhile to get back. Now I see it differently. It isn't a DIET. It is a way of living. On a cruise I actually have more choices of wonderfully acceptable foods than I do at home, I get to experiment with them and find what I like and don't like, plus they will make them just the way I want, so why not take advantage of it!
