My Food and Movement While Cruising
Okay, so the main topic for today, and as I mentioned last week that I'd be talking about was my food and movement while cruising. So I do spend some time cruising and I can't treat it as a vacation because, if you're on a vacation for three or four days and maybe your next vacation isn't for six or eight months you can "go hog wild" for those three days, and it honestly would not have a major effect over your long-term health.
But if you're doing something frequently, I don't call that a vacation anymore. I do say I'm traveling, but I have to maintain and conduct my everyday life while I'm on a cruise ship. So what that means, since I'm dealing with my type two diabetes, is that my food and my movement have to continue in a way that's helpful to me while I'm cruising.
So let's talk about it. What do I eat on a cruise ship? There is food everywhere. There's never a shortage of food. I think on this cruise ship, they don't have 24-hour food available, but I think food is available between the hours of 6 am and 1 am.
So what do I do in the morning? I always have my cappuccino. I like coffee. And up in the diamond lounge where I go, they have an espresso machine.
It's there, you can use it yourself. It's included with your diamond-level loyalty benefits. And I usually have a cappuccino made by this machine and then I add a shot of espresso. Then I do one of two things. If I feel like eating, if I'm hungry, which honestly hasn't happened lately, I'll go to the breakfast buffet and I'll have eggs and bacon, something like that along with my cappuccino.
