Pounds

1. I lost 3 more pounds this week. Probably because I ran out of protein powder, and therefore less water retention. Now that I have started the protein drinks again, lets see what happens.
2. I made the switch to turkey bacon. I could actually eat the whole package of real bacon with no problem. And I figure I could do the same with turkey bacon too. It is very very good!
3. Now that would defeat my diet now wouldn't it? :)
4. Since I start vacation next Friday, my trainer is working me doubly hard, and maybe almost every day next week. :(. Oh! I mean :)

Dating sites and trips

1. I posted my vacation plans on the various dating site calendars on BMB, NG, MB, BearFront, and Silverdaddies (No. Most think SD is for the geriatric crowd. Most on there are from their 30's on up)
2. I so far got some messages that some will be on the cruise too :). Some with BF's some on their own :)
3. I also got some hits from some younger island residents to hook up. Not sure about that one. We are ashore for not too long, and have some excursions already planned.
4. I don't have a laptop, so I am sure I will be going through withdrawal (they do have internet access on board, but I hope to avoid that. Well I may check a few messages :)
5. I am now getting exited about going. I really shouldn't (Never say yes after drinking). I will be eating soup and beans for months after this one. But I haven't had a vacation like this in centuries.

Sometimes I like shopping

1. In a rush in trying to find sandals for my trip (they, and summer clothes are hard to find this time of year), day time and more dressy ones for night, I decided to try Pennys.
2. Hazza! I found exactly what I wanted (the type that strap around your ankle (Velcro buckle), and some really nice dressier ones too. And on sale. They were out of the casual ones but the display ones fit. They gave me an extra discount on those.
2. The place must of just got the summer stuff in. It was full of great T's, and stuff. And great prices! So I purchased just a few printed T's for like 9 buck each :)
I was a die-hard Mervyn's shopper, but after scoping the clothes (I never shop here. I have been doing Macy's), I think I will try more of this (and Kohls).
3. I then went to Costco to check out cameras. I liked the Nikon CoolPix S570. Good for travel.
4. I then went up to Best Buy to see what they had. The same cam, same price ($1 more). But it did not include the memory card or the case (that's extra), as does Costco.
5. So I went back to Costco, filled out the merchandise slip. Stood in line for 35 minutes; paid for the camera. Went to pick up the camera, only to find out they are out of stock (someone took the out of stock sign off the display :(. OY!
6. So tomorrow, after gym, and after helping a friend move a TV in SF, I need to go down to Foster City Costco to get one (they have 10 in stock).
7. As for tomorrow, I may nix the Superbowl stuff. Maybe not. Not sure. I am sorta of thinking of going to the Imax to see Avatar. I have a feeling that it won't be as busy on Superbowl Sunday.

Shopping (part 2)

The other thing about my shopping today was purchasing all those mini things. They are so small and cute.
Remember in the old days when you had to purchase the regular size product and pour them into little plastic containers to pack?

(the apple is to show comparative size. Not for packing)


I don't think I'll need any of these, except maybe the Prevacid for rich food heartburn (which I always tend to get), and Aleve or Tylenol. It's better be safe than sorry.

Did we say drinking by the pool, the bar, the dance club? Oops! I need to get some Pepto Bismol!
