Lazy bunny and I just came back from our first ever cruise! It was so fun with amazing views. Surprisingly we felt much more healthier on-board and unintentionally lost weight! Here is what we learned:

1️⃣Take the stairs and refuse the elevator! It takes so long to wait for the elevator anyways, we would walk or sometimes run up and down the stairs. It was a great workout especially when we got lost! Our step count and floors climb were way above our average of when we were on land!

2️⃣ Join activities that involve physical activity! I loved all the exercise and dance classes on-board. That was pretty much the focus of my schedule. I did abs class in the morning, line dancing in the afternoon and ballroom before dinner. It was lots of fun and I broke a sweat multiples times in the day. On days when dancing wasn’t available, lazy bunny and I hit the gym after the show at night.

3️⃣Indulge in fruits and vegetables! Food was so easily accessible on-board, we just ate whenever we felt a little hungry. However, we indulged mostly in all the fruits and salads that were already prepared and cut up for us. We haven’t eaten that many fruits in a while. It was delicious and didn’t make us feel guilty for eating a lot. But of course we had multiple servings of dessert everyday!

4️⃣Bring a water bottle/tumbler with a straw! We got one with a infuser part so we could put fruit in it and infuse our water. We also put ginger to help with our seasickness. We carried our water around everywhere and refilled it whenever we could. I think the fact that we had a straw helped us to drink lots of water...and the fact that we didn’t have to worry about washrooms as they were easily found around the ship!

Side note: I also took my B12 and probiotics everyday. Never felt bloated and was regular ✌🏼.
