Jenn - We LOVE cruising!!! We leave on January 31st out of New Orleans on RCCL Serenade of the Seas bound for Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. This is our 2nd cruise with RCCL. We did a Southern Caribbean with them for our honeymoon in June of 2013. Our first cruise was with Carnival to the Mexican Riviera in 2011. Carnival is way too much the party line for us so we probably won't sail on them again. We would like to try Norwegian and Princess since they come highly recommended. I also drool over the Paul Gauguin cruises but those are definitely out of our price range! I have an employee who is doing a Viking River Cruise in Europe this summer so I just might have to add them to my bucket list as well.

Where are you going and who are you sailing on?

Friday: P1-ish

B- spinach quiche, coffee
S- cheesestick
L-salad, crudites with hummus and spinach dip, chicken
S-smoothie
D- cauliflower pizza; I am also allowing myself 1 glass of wine
S- probably SF pudding

gabby - we ONLY sail Carnival, lol. Anything more than 5 days is not "party" by way of the drinking but is by way of the fun. Can't beat the price and the options. We leave on DWs bday, Feb 26, for our 7th with them and out 8th will be over Thanksgiving. Feb's will be our shortest one at a 4 day.

My first day of Ph2! So excited and hope I don't go overboard...as I officially lost 13 pounds on Ph 1!!!!

B: green monster smoother with a handful of blueberries and only half a banana
S: bell peppers and cucumbers with hummus
L: Mexican salad
S: cottage cheese
D: salmon with sauteed spinach
D: Jello

Jenn - CONGRATS!!!! That is an amazing loss!! You and my DH rocked P1!! We are starting P2 this week as well (although I'll probably lean more toward a 1.5).

B - cheese & nuts
L - curry shrimp salad
D - chicken tenders (made with coconut flour)
S - celery & laughing cow, apple slices

Menu planning today - it will be nice to look at the P2 recipes now but I still need to be really careful if I'm going to make my 10# goal. Two weeks to get there!

Great job, Jenne!

Saturday: P1.5
B-PB ricotta muffin, coffee
L- salad, buffalo chicken
S- Greek yogurt, SB bar (I keep some of those around to placate myself when what I really want is a off-plan granola bar)
S- stew, 1 glass red wine
D- SF pudding with a dollop of cool whip

Gabby, I tend to add in 1 fruit and a starchy vegetable (squash or sweet potatoes) rather than bread. Phase 2 scares me as well; it seems really easy to go crazy

Fruit is now my kryptonite! But I am holding it together. I don't want to undo all this good work.

B: egg with salsa and avocado, coffee
L: HUge salad with hummus and feta
D: buffalo chicken tenders and sweet potato fries
D: 10 cherries and SF Jello
