[Guest guest]

A JAM-PACKED DAY!

Friday, 28 October 2011

Well. we've visited all of our ports and

now, for these next two days, everyone is mine...all

mine! And

believe me, I'm gonna work everybody really hard

today. They've all gotten stronger this week so I

know they're ready for our jam-packed day!

I love to see everybody smiling and dancing

away first thing in the morning.

We'll begin with our Rise

& Shine class at

7:30 and today, we're waking up to another pair of

great songs, Boom,

Boom Tequila and

Funkytown. I love to see everybody smiling

and dancing away first thing in the morning. That

little early morning sweat is good for our bodies and our

souls.

We'll have breakfast in the Gold Pearl restaurant

and this morning, I think I'll have just one

pancake. I'll cut it into little squares, spray it

with some I

Can't Believe It's Not Butter then top it

with a few fresh strawberry slices. When I was

growing up, I loved the cute little silver-dollar

sized pancakes my father made for us at breakfast.

I'd usually have a dozen of them! Oh how I miss

those days of having breakfast with my family on St.

Louis Street back home in New Orleans.

Today, we're honoring Warner

Brothers studios.

Did you know Warner Brothers really was a group of

brothers? (There were four of them.) They did Rin Tin

Tin, The Jazz Singer, 42nd Street and brought

us those animated classics, Bugs

Bunny and Porky

Pig. Those cartoons were pure genius because

all of these many years later...they're still

funny! Warner Brothers also did My Fair

Lady, Bonnie & Clyde and

one of the scariest movies I've ever seen...House

of Wax!

When I look out at my Cruisers, I can see

lots of them mouthing the words to the songs as they

sweat along with me.

Today in the Spectacular

Lounge, we'll get in another great Sweatin'

class together. Again, I'm playing more old

movie music. When I look out at my Cruisers, I can

see lots of them mouthing the words to the songs

as they sweat along with me. It's as if they were

on stage performing at my side. Oh, it's like a

Hollywood musical duet! LOL. After we've done the

first couple of numbers, I can see everyone starting

to sweat! Oh boy, now I know they're

putting everything into their workouts and that

makes me want

to sweat more! Let's

go, gang!

After lunch, we return to the El Morocco

Lounge where we'll have a seminar called Happy

Thoughts. You know how easy it is for a

negative or bad thought to enter your mind, don't

you? In fact, some people dwell on those bad

thoughts all

day and

hey, that's way

too long. You need to knock those bad

thoughts out of your mind and counter them with some

good, happy thoughts.

In this seminar, everyone will write down

three happy thoughts they can think of that will put

them in a better mood when they're feeling blue.

We'll have a break following our seminar and then we

get all dressed up again for our second formal

night. Tonight, I will go from table to table and

take group shots with everyone. After a week of

having the same dining partners at meal times,

everyone ends up getting very close. This photo is

one that everybody cherishes. After visiting every

table and taking photos at each one, then I can

eat! LOL.

My Cruisers have been sowing the right

things this

week because the numbers on the scale prove it!

Oh, and get this. A few people told me yesterday

that they went up to the ship's spa and weighed

themselves. They were thrilled to discover they'd

already lost a few pounds! I'm telling

you, I could see the excitement in their faces. You

know what I tell them? You reap

what you sow! And obviously, my Cruisers

have been sowing the right

things this

week because the numbers on the scale proved it!

So, have you been sowing the right things and

staying on program with us this week? I hope

so!

Love,
