Shedding Pounds Now

You know what cruising is like... plenty of food. One frequent cruiser described mealtimes as "feeding the seagulls." She said they all flock around the minute any food appears. Will we be any different? We don't know. But in case we are, we have started shedding weight ahead of time. At the end of every day, we email each other with a list of the things we've eaten. It seems to help us stay on track because we know we have to do an accounting.

We've also agreed to request small portions during shipboard meals, and we're keeping a watch on each other so neither of us sets up a home on the buffet table. We fully believe that we can enjoy our meals and still not come home with "Goodyear" painted on our waistbands.

Is it possible? We'll let you know at the end of our trip...
