My Journey With Weight Loss – Going On Vacation

Well, today I started vacation. My sister and I have been planning an Alaskan cruise for nearly 2 years. The booked cruise has been canceled 3 times but tomorrow we sail round trip out of Seattle.

We are sailing with Princess Cruises and to say they have massive COVID protocols in place is an understatement. We have to be fully vaxed but they even limit what that means. You cannot have a mix of vector vaccinations with an MRNA. You can have a mix of 2 vectors or 2 MRNA’s but that is a moot point as I have just AstraZeneca and Marlet is pure Pfizer. Moreover we needed negative antigen tests both to get on the ship and to be able to travel to the US.

My sister and I left home obscenely early this morning to be at the airport by 5:00am to get our rapid tests. We couldn’t believe how easy this went with the only hitch being her birthday was wrong on the test results but they immediately fixed that. It was then on to checkin, customs and to the gate. Everything went smoothly.

We are now in a hotel in Seattle. We managed to get downtown for several hours to enjoy the city. Tomorrow we head to the ship and get 7 days of relaxation and pampering.

I’ve worked out my running schedule for the week, a 5 km and 3 8 km’s. I don’t want to lose a lot of ground in my running but I also want to enjoy myself without gaining too much weight. My goal is 5lbs will be ok but gone within a month.

Seriously, what the hell, I plan to have a good time.
