The Magic Lap-Band Cruise Fairy visited...

At Trunk Bay, St. John, USVI
Hi everyone! I'm back... WAY behind on blogs, so forgive me - will catch up with ya'll this week! Here are a few pictures and a VERY brief update.... we had an absolute blast on the cruise - and the lapband Fairy visited and loosened me up just enough that I was really able to enjoy myself and only gain about 3 pounds. Yay! I could eat pretty much anything and everything in moderation, and did. In fact, major NSV was that at the chocolate buffet, I took a bite of the few things I chose and that was all I needed... it just wasn't worth it! I did however enjoy GREATLY, the 2-for-1 martini nights... too much - that is definitely where the excess lbs came from! Oh well - they were tasty and worth it! Interestingly enough, now that I am back in the states I am definitely tighter... odd. But I'll take it! Maybe there is something to being totally relaxed... So here are some pix - will post another blog post on my cruising thoughts later this week...
At The Baths in Virgin Gorda, BVI
In the plaid dress I ordered a few posts back - tried to find a matching one for Lucia - not sure it matches well enough! This is in the Bahamas at the cruiseline's private island.

Wow - 3 pounds is pretty great for a cruise. It looks like a great time. We're thinking if doing a Disney Cruise later in the year, so good to hear you had fun.

Welcome back, we missed you! It looks like you had a great time! My cruise is in 13 days - I can't wait! I think that a 2 lb gain is not bad at all. I am glad you were able to have some freedom band wise. <3
