Preparation

Where do you start..........

Job one, take out the Tuxedo and suits. The QM2 has six formal nights in the 15 days. Try the clothes on and realize that you have put on a gazillion pounds since you used them last! I got on the scale and it went all the way around to Zero............O my God I am 300 lbs!

The next thing I do is go out and look for new clothes. There are none to fit me. I am too short and round like Humpty Dumpty.

I was always big but this is dangerous. I already have a heart problem, carrying an extra 150 lbs puts too much strain on the heart.

So on to Weight Watchers. I have lost 4.6 lbs in the first week. My goal is to loose 30 lbs before the QM2 departs on Feb 10th.

While deciding to loose the weight one of the reasons was after reviewing the QM2 menus I decided that I could not spend 15 days without sampling them all.
