I'm collecting new and used books for women and children escaping abusive situations. If you can help out, please go to my book blog, read up on the details, and post a comment. Thanks!

I'm Home

I only gained four pounds on the cruise. I know, four pounds is a lot to gain in one week but you should've seen the food! Luckily my husband and I biked, hiked, and walked at every stop and even made it to the on-board gym four times. I shudder to think how bad the weight gain could've been!
Now back to normal, healthy food and some tough workouts to get those four pounds off. Hope you are all have an amazing start to summer.

Cruise Time

We're cruising to Alaska. I'm thrilled to see this beautiful area, spend time with my husband, and relax, but I'm worried about leaving my cute boys and eating healthy in the midst of so much temptation!

I'm sure my boys will have a wonderful time with their cousins. Here's hoping I can survive without them. And how to survive without trying every dessert on the menu? The plan is to only eat the foods I am dying over (chocolate) and ignore those I can do without (bread basket, pastries, pie). We're also planning very active shore excursions to keep us feeling good.

Any advice on how not to gain the Cruising Five?
