Good Afternoon All,
Reggie, sounds like you did really good at the Mexican Rest. honestly the ships and salsa are my biggest weakness. I can just eat those chips till the bowl is empty. No matter how strong I am I cannot resist those chips and salsa.
I actually did pretty good today. I got up walked two miles before church, had yogurt for breakfast with juice. Then went to the mall again needed to get son some new white dress shirts for work. Then went and got grocerys at Walmart, came home and had a LC Panini (the spinach, mushroom and chicken one) and a clementine. Speaking of clementines does anyone have any idea how many calories they are?
They are certainly good and not near as messy as an orange. Tonight son and husband want pizza from a local place that makes them like thin crust chicago style and cuts the pizza in squares. I will order it in about 1 hour and 20 minutes and Tom will pick it up on his way home from work. They also make a great anti pasta salad that I will order for myself and use my own low calorie dressing and I will have one small square of pizza
Jill, you had mentioned about not liking to get dressed up while on a cruise. I guess that is what makes us all different and cruises line different. Tom and I actually love that part. What is funny before we got hooked on cruising we were sure that was the part we would hate especially Tom. Now it is the best part. We use to go to Kona Hawaii at least two times a year and could pack extremely light, swim suit, shorts and tank top and flip flops
Now we like getting dresses up, Tom has a couple different Tux jackets and different style of shirts. He even has bow ties in different colors to coordinate with what I am wearing.
Ok I will try to explain what the new dresses look like. I thought about taking pictures and posting them but I will try to explain. Tom says I went out of the box on these. They are definitely not styles I have bought before. The one I plan to wear for the first formal night is a two piece Black Velvet Skirt and jacket. The skirt is long but is full at the bottom, I feel like a yong girl in it. The jacket is also balck with white satin collar and white satin cuffs on 3/4 length sleeves. Through out the jacket there are rhinestone diamond studs. It also has a rhinstone clasp that pulls the jacket together to the left side. The dress for semi fromal night is short, also black velvet in an A-line that is very slimming and also a size 12 P It also has a white satin collar and coffs but has a very low neckline. The dress is actually quite sexy Tom really liked it. The third which I will wear for the last formal night I bought because it matches a new nexklace.
I collect Swarovksi Crystal and thru the Collectors Society they have this new necklace for member only.It is a crystal shell in a beautiful turquoise. The dress looks to be two piece with a jacket but is actually one piece. The top of the dress and jacket are the same of very sparkely turquoise over black, the bottom of the dress is black with a slit up the side. This dress is also low cut and rather tight fitting so even if I loose another 10 to 15 pounds it should fit.
OK I think I have typed enough and explained enough
I will say with these new dresses it has made me even more excited for this cruise. I am also not as discouraged about not loosing enough weight because these dresses look really good. I even took a peak on the scale this morning and I was down another pound but won't count the offical till Thursday.
Below is a picture of the necklace if it is not too small.
Had he been ill? That is the one thing that I do not like about being our age. I have so many friends that their parents are starting to pass on. Both of my parents are still alive my Dad turned 81 in October and lives with his long time girlfirend who is 84. My Mom will be 80 this coming July and lives with her husband that is 18 years younger 
No gain, so no disappointment here
