kacey's attempt at keeping track....OK, I'm not very consistent at this - but I want to keep track of my progress, my lack thereof (not that this will ever happen!), and my questions, answers (I know... sometimes I talk to myself), and well just where I've been and where I am going - in case I forget.I forgot before (a few times but we won't get into that). So this time I want to remember. Body fat around 20% - that's where I'm headed. With good health, better health, and best health happening along the way. I have found it, like many people, impossible to lose weight. I GAINED weight on weight watchers. Since I'm short - I only got 18 points a day (what is a point anyway?) - and still gained weight. People do lose on weight watchers, so I watched in depression as they lost, cheated, lost more. I suck. I gained - without cheating. Hey - maybe that was the problem - I didn't cheat! Anyway - a thousand and one diets later I found Atkins. This worked. I just found it a bit hard to stay on track (at 20 carbs). I cooked and thought about food ALL THE TIME. I made WONDERFUL low carb dishes. Then I started having to count calories because I wasn't losing. Then, my son was in an accident and I got totally off track. Some months later - here I am again. Only now I'm going for 'zero' carbs (Ok, less than 5). I officially started on Sept 17 at 198.8. Today, Oct 9 - I am at 188.1. So far, so good. I have a lot of questions - but I'm trying to look at other's posts before I repeatedly ask dumb questions. My main 'problem' (which I'm living with) is the persistent nausea. About 1 hour after I eat, I am so sick to my stomach. I never 'get' sick - but boy do I feel terrible. I'm at about 80% fat, 20% protein pretty consistently although meat in Denmark is much more fatty than in the US so maybe I'm getting more than that? The second problem is that I am soooo tired at the end of the day that I am sleeping a minimum of 10 hours and sometimes 12 hours. Everyday! What is up with that? This has been going on for almost 3 weeks now. I'm thinking its my body trying to catch up from all the abuse of the many diets over the years! Who knows??? Anyway - off for now... Thanks for all the interesting posts! It makes this WOE much more fun! Kacey |

I haven't been cheating! I have eaten very little cheese (one or two ounces twice) and no other dairy. YAWN YAWN YAWN! I'm sooo tired. I just had a big steak. Yum! Cooked in coconut oil with butter on top. Green tea with coconut oil. What is up with this sleeping thing? I could go lay down and sleep for hours! Good grief. Other than that - no cravings. I'm not even sure when I'm hungry - maybe I eat too much? Steak was 150 grams so that isn't too much. Pork chop this morning. 2 pieces of bacon.
Ok, need to go and cat nap or something.... Is this just me? I've NEVER been sleepy during the day! |

Kacey, the nausea may be from too much fat. It possible that 80% is a bit more than your body can handle right now, especially if this is a big change for you. I'd suggest cutting back to 60-70% and see what happens. | ||

Re: kacey's attempt at keeping track....Kacey,Sounds like you've been experimenting for some time. It sounds like one of your goals is to not be thinking about food all the time. That is an extremely important part of the process, as I'm sure you are aware. Since adopting IFing and not worrying about eating, yet still getting in enough nutrition each day, I have been able to completely forget about food. It is very easy to become obsessed with food and diets, as I'm sure we've all been there at times. I'm glad you recognize that as being unhealthy. I hate counting calories and carbs and crap like that for that very reason. It's so much more important to have a balanced life and be involved in all sorts of activities and thoughts, etc. I think it's safe to say that one must create a caloric deficit to lose body fat. There are many ways to do that, of course, including manipulation of hormones and such. IFing helps me keep my calories in check. Of course, fat is so calorically dense, that it isn't easy to create a deficit. I'm having that problem now. At least I'm not gaining, though, and my moods are much more stable without a lot of carbs, and with more fat. I'm still tweaking it. It's a long journey, but, it gets better all the time. It is a balancing act, coming to a WOE that works for each of us. I think it's really important to keep all things in mind, including social situations, when it comes to finding a WOE that works for us, both for our physical health, as well as our mental health. It may not be easy, but, it is doable. You sound like a very determined person, and I'm certain you are going to find a WOE that works for you. Keep the faith, stay on the Bus, and it'll all work out. Cheers.

My first thought was nausea = too much fat.
The sleepiness I'm not sure about, could be a candida die off or maybe just the change in diet is taking you a while to adapt. My first time doing zero carb it took my 14 days before I felt normal and during those 14 days I ate so much, I always felt hungry and unsatisfied. My body may have working overtime dealing with the volume and density of food. 
Keep up the good work. |

| Kacey |
Hi all - Thanks for your comments! I am going to try less fat today. Add in a whole chicken or something  !
Other than the nausea and sleepiness (I just woke up from 12 HOURS of sleeping!) - this is going great. I'm losing weight without counting anything (I do put it into Diet Power so I know my percentages but I'm not fussed about it.) I AM learning to just eat when I'm hungry. And I have almost ZERO cravings. In fact, I bought a dark chocolate Lindt bar (85%) and had one bite and laid it down and have walked by it several times since. Not interested. Before zero carb (bzc) I would have eaten some of it just because it was lying there. The fact that I am losing weight is like I've found the key to a long hidden treasure. Some secret tablets out in the desserts somewhere! (OK, I sound like a freak... maybe I am a freak! but the fact that I don't feel like I have a mental problem with food that is some kind of sick childhood thing I need years of counseling for is sort of a relief!!!  )
So, today - upping protein. If that doesn't work over next few days, then I'm going to try ditching the coffee and tea. 
Also, on the topic of candida - I read somewhere that vinegar should help - I think I did anyway. Am I nuts? Has anyone heard that? I've got a bottle just in case... (I've got a bottle of red wine just in case too - hoping that is the cure instead of vinegar !!! blah) Thank you again for taking time to comment! Kacey |

The tiredness is probably from too much fat. When I ate fat in excess of what I could digest, I would get sleepy and very tired. As others have mentioned, nausea is definetly from too much fat.
Eating around 60% fat is a good place to start. Then, gradually increase fat content and see what happens. |
||
| Dean |
Kacey,
I agree with everyone on the fat deal. It's important to not go too low, but, if you are too high it will be hard to lose and you'll get these side effects you are experiencing. If you are nuts, then you are definitely on the right Bus. 
Yah, SAD was the first ED for all of us. Your therapy begins here. 
I think red wine might just be the right intervention. It works pretty well for most of us. 
|
||
| Kacey |
Oh Dean - I just decided to check in to let everyone know that the lower fat is working! It is 9 pm and I am still awake. I've only had slight nausea today - much less fat!
And well, I have also been starving - and decided the right 'cure' was some red wine. It is working fabulously. I'm happy for EVERYONE'S suggestions...  and I'm uh, loving you all too!
And... um, I think I may hate you all in the morning.... (um, love you tonight, hate you in the morning... this is already starting to sound like a bad relationship!) Anyway - let's focus on the 3 glasses of red wine I've had so far! Definitely the start of feeling much better!!! Kacey |
||
| Dean |
Yes, it's a balancing act. For me, it's a balancing act between protein, fat, and wine.
If you go over 3 glasses, you might wanna think about upping your fat. Or, you could visit the Metabolic Ward. There are wings dedicated to every type of issue. Some of the therapies are pretty good, I've heard. Just ask jeff. He knows all about it.

| Kacey |
ahhh (hands on head)
What did we do last night??? oh - forget it! I don't really want to know do I? Up the fat! THAT was the problem! Dean, you are right this IS such a balancing act. I will definitely try that today since I will most certainly have to experiment again tonight. Hubby is gone out of town! he he! (although I seem to remember men, dancing, leather... hmm..... oops, wrong forum!  )
As I was saying - I'll try a bit more fat and a little less wine tonight (um, ok I'll try a little more fat!). off to drink coffee - the other part of this balancing act! Have a great day! Kacey |
||
| Dean |
No, you've got the right forum... you finally found your way to the back of the Bus!
|
||
| Kacey |
Well that sends me on a reminiscence trip. As a cheerleader (some few years ago)... on the way back from the 'away' football games, the mystic of sitting in the dark, sweaty, male testosterone part of the bus had a great deal of allure. But, oh, those young men.... all talk!!!!
Maybe the back of THIS bus is more interesting
As for the events of last night - well, I'm not a show and tell kind-a-girl.
But the right balance of um, wine, and well, wine... well, let's just say I hope the boys in the back of the bus are grown ups this time!!!
(p.s. you know I live in Denmark right? - things are MUCH more open here in Scandinavia!) |
||
| Kacey |
I feel like I need to write a Dear Diary entry:
Dear Diary - I cheated on my WOE this weekend. It wasn't really my fault - I was just trying to optimally balance the fat and protein in my diet - and well wine fell into the mix somehow. I promise to be good from this point going forward. This is my first deviation and though I'm sure it will occasionally happen in the future - it is best to keep these to a minimum. Oh, and Dear Diary - we'll skip the other parts that happened after the wine drinking - no need for unnecessary details. Let's just try to not enjoy ourselves so much next time.
Back to a proper bus ride now! Kacey |
||
| jeff |
Oh, the back of this Bus is quite interesting.
|
||
| Kacey |
Note to self... Do not try on too small leather pants (which I'm using as a 'measuring stick') after a weekend of debauchery. It just starts the week off on a bad note!
And damn those English... size 10 - In English is like - oh size 2 in American (ok, probably not that dramatic but it FEELS that way). MMM, this really annoys me.... Off to punish myself. And chant: meat and water meat and water meat and water meat and water .... |
||
| Dean |
Kacey,
If you put on some tight leather pants and head to the back of the Bus, I'm sure you can punish others besides yourself.
Those Kool-Aid parties can get pretty wild back there, sometimes. 
 
|
||
| Kacey |
I added my new avatar. When my stomach gets that flat, we'll call that goal! In the meantime, if I could just zip these darned pants! That is my goal by end of October - so that means strict 'zero' carbs for the next 15 days! I'm going to do it!
< 2 cups of coffee < 2 cups of tea minuscule amts of cheese - not daily 60-70% fat no cream meat meat meat I'm going for it!!!! No more being punished for me! I want to be the one doing the punishing!!
|
||
| jeff |
Looks like a good plan.
|
||
| Dean |
Yes. Especially the part about you doing the punishing!
I hope to see you soon at the back of the Bus.
|

| Kacey |
just a quick post -
yesterday managed to get down to 73% in fat (26% protein). I can't judge how I felt because I had an absolute shit day  ! But it is ironic to be struggling to get my fat down. I actually had to eat some CHICKEN!
(actually I like chicken, especially made with cream cheese/butter but a good, thick steak is just soooo much better) I also added in a few workouts and a long walk. This morning - weight didn't move on the scale. Is it really possible I gained 7 pounds in one weekend of um, being a little naughty? I would have thought some of that weight would have come off by this morning. OK, hopefully tomorrow looks better on the scale. And hopefully today is a better day! I think I need some pampering - that's the problem. I need a nice male slave!
|
||
| Heather |
YES!!! 
|
||
| Kacey |
Ok, depression.... I gained 7 pounds last weekend. Honestly I wasn't THAT bad (in terms of eating anyway!). I drank too much diet soda. Drank too much wine. Ate a few pieces of chocolate. 1 serving of rice. Rest meat, eggs, butter, cheese.
Now it's Friday. The scale has not MOVED! I wish someone would do an experiment on me! I started Wednesday doing my own person version of "The Biggest Loser" - walking 5 miles (HIIT), weights (one area per day), pilates, and some back exercises on the exercise ball. What do I get? Nada! Also, hubby told me 'SURPRISE' we are going on a cruise in 2 weeks. Um, great. (that's what started my exercise madness) I'm thrilled of course to be going - but if I'd known BEFORE the 7 pound weekend - well that would have been nice! I'm really experimenting with the level of fat. It seems the higher it is - then I lose weight faster but I feel like crap (and sleep a lot). The lower, the better I feel, but don't lose any weight. This isn't all about weight but damn it - I want to look great (not just good) outside AND feel good inside. How unreasonable of me! I'm whining... I know... 
And just to whine a little more! What IS IT with people wanting to comment and interfere in people's food choices? I don't go around looking at people's plates or grocery baskets and making comments ("WOW - look at all that carby junk food you have in there! you are sure to die of a heart attack at a young age!"). So, isn't it amazing that people (especially those 'close' to us) feel compelled to tell you all KINDS of stuff while you are 'dieting' or eating a 'special' way. I feel like I'm under attack. My mom sends me articles she finds online about eating too much fat or how carbs are good for you. My husband, he points out that he saw a program where you should only eat 1.8 pounds of meat a month (ummm, I didn't tell him I eat that in a day or two!). Friends come over and say, "Wow, you are frying that in BUTTER?" (the rest of their comments whispered under their breath) Is it just me that experiences this? I also had this when I went on Atkins. Constant defending of myself. HELLO - I AM LOSING WEIGHT THIS WAY. HELLO - MY BLOOD TESTS ARE BETTER THAN EVER. etc. But it falls on deaf ears. OK, I'm crabby this morning. Sorry. I'm going to go do some more workouts. I think I'll do weights then intervals. Then later do it again. I might not be super thin but by god I don't want to jiggle!
Is there a photo gallery here? I think I'm going to do ongoing progress shots... But for some reason I can't seem to find it??? I hope your day is better than mine! |

Thanks for that Jeff.
I lost 3 pounds today. HALLELUJAH! I have dropped eggs the last few days. Coincidence? Hard to say since I've been exercising my a.. off too! More exercise today - triceps today I think. Owww! Ohhh I had set myself a goal of under 180 by end of October - and last weekend just blew it! I'll just have to keep up with the massive exercise and see how I look for the cruise! My son's second surgery this week - so a challenge to stick to it. But I succeeded last time so I can do it again! Ahh, yes and my second interview for a job in the local city. (as opposed to traveling all the time) A college professor. Me ??? Moi??? Hmmm - I never thought of myself in that role but lets see! Have a great weekend! |
||
| Kristelle |
Good luck with the surgery and the interview...hope you get the job.
In regards to weight, exercise will not help however much you exercise. The key is to keep things as constant as possible and carbs as low as possible, even zero for some who can't lose anymore weight, and remain this way for the rest of your life. This is a lifetime commitment. I'm zero-carb and I have no desire to eat any carbs anymore. Perhaps, you should join this forum, it could help... http://www.zerocarbage.com/ I hope your daughter is better too. I read your post about her. A high-fat, protein diet would certainly help her. Carbs increase our needs for vitamins and minerals as they either compete or interfere with absorption. Many carbs are also poor in nutrients like white rice. She is beautiful, by the way. Take care, Kacey. :) |
||
| jeff |
Even though I am an avid exerciser, I agree with Kristi. Exercise is good for us, but it's effect on weight loss is minimal, I think. | ||
| Kacey |
Hi there - Thanks for the replies. I'm in Copenhagen where my son is staying the night at the hospital for surgery. (his dad is staying with him tonight as I have a cold)
I'm exercising my butt off (literally - it IS getting thinner and higher!) but you are right - no difference in the pounds. I'm still at the 4 pound gain even though I've been zero carbing it religiously. I only seem to crave red meat. (with one exception - I feel like crap tonight and I wanted soup and cheese so I'm doing bouillon and some good cheese) I have a question about intermittent fasting? I've been skipping some meals because I'm not hungry. (I've even skipped wine for a week now even MORE strange!) How long do people go without eating or is it individual? I've been going from early lunch til breakfast next morning for example. Does that 'count'? I've advised my daughter on a better meal plan but she says they just serve lots of junky, carby food at the boarding school and she's not allowed to cook there - so we'll have to come up with some alternative plan. OK, little email reading them I'm off to bed. Kacey Oh P.S. I got the job! NOW WHAT? The day after I return from the cruise they want me to start lecturing. Good grief! What HAVE I gotten myself into? |
||
| Kacey |
Oops - I wanted to post one more thing. I've cut down on the fat (maybe 60 - 70 % or slightly more) and I feel MUCH better. The sleeping problem is nearly gone. The nausea - well I can tell when I'm starting to get too much fat and then cut it back (leaner meat cuts, less butter). I've also stopped the eggs. Don't know for sure they are a problem - but going to cool it with them for a week or so and see.
The cruise? It is going to be interesting. I'm pretty sure I will mainly stick with meats, fat, and maybe a eggs at that point. And well, some red wine. But, I have noticed a DIRECT correlation between how much fat I intake and whether I can even finish a glass of wine. So, when hubby wants to start having some - I drink a cup of tea with coconut oil. Then the glass can just sit there and I'm not interested in it at all. So plan for cruise is - coconut oil in tea/coffee during day - stop that 3:00 o'clock or so. Then I can enjoy a few glasses of wine with dinner. And you know what they say about how to make God laugh??? Tell him your plans! Kacey

Enjoy the cruise. :) | ||

Hi Kristelle - Thanks for the well wishes and for the link.
I am sooo confused. I'm really doing well zero carbing. I LIKE this way of eating. I gives me a feeling of control that I never had, even on 20 grams of Atkins. With Atkins I lost weight, but I was always thinking about food, planning my food, planning recipes, etc. Now - I just eat. It's just food. So, I'm not quitting - although this is where I usually get in a diet and quit. (meaning, I'm doing it perfectly and not losing a pound - so why bother when I can NOT do it and weigh the same?) But my god is this frustrating! It isn't like I have 10 pounds to lose. I have SEVENTY pounds to lose! And the scale stays within the same 200 grams every single day! I don't know if calories count or not. It is a mixed message. I'm exercising - alot. I'm not using cream. Teeny bits of cheese. Very few eggs. No artificial sweeteners. I AM using coconut oil - it helps with the feeling of being full - and the feeling of control. Any ideas? Thanks Kacey |
||
| Heather L |
Kacey- I can really understand your frustration. I know that for me calories do count, but that doesn't seem to be as big of an issue for some. If you are stuck, then maybe that is the thing to look at next.
For me it has been quite a bit of experimenting to find my best path for progress. |
||
| Kacey |
You are right Heather - I need to experiment a bit.
What I HAVE figured out (at least there is something):
I feel really good, content, with no cravings, eating basically meat & eggs My skin looks great eating this way Oh did I mention - I feel in total control of my food intake eating this way!
I CAN work out for long periods of time without the need for carbs NOT having to plan what to eat helps me NOT eat Extra fat helps me not drink alcohol even when everyone else is doing it Cutting out the artificial sweetener has NOT moved the scale What I have NOT figured out yet:
Why I can lose weight on a liquid diet (like Medifast) - if calories don't count (it was 60 - 80 carbs a day and around 600 - 700 calories) (I felt OK on that diet - just had no energy for anything and no time either as I had to 'eat' 6 times a day) Do eggs help or hurt me? (I'm experimenting but since the *&^%$& scale never MOVES I don't know the 'answer' - yes, yes latent hostility I am going to have to take it out on SOMEONE!) Does cream hurt me? (I have not used it to date because we only have cream with 23% fat in Denmark and I haven't had a need for it) Is the coconut oil slowing my weight loss? It certainly HELPS me control my eating (and some say it helps with candida) Do I need to drink loads of water? I quit doing that based on some info in another thread but in the past I've drank 4 - 5 liters a day with no problem. Is this a good idea or bad idea? What other things do I need to try? I'm doing interval training nearly everyday. I'm doing weights (one target area a day) - 5 days a week. And I'm doing exercise ball work twice a day for my back. To give a review: August 12 - Started liquid diet (no exercise) Weight 213.4 lbs - Waist 41.7 in Sept 11 - Last day on liquid diet Weight 195.4 lbs - Waist 38.5 in Oct 23 - More than a month on low carb or VLC Weight 191 lbs - Waist 36.4 I DO understand the science (well at a high level). I was reading Gary Taubes book which is what made me go OFF the liquid diet. The first week or so on low carb I lost a little more and I've been hovering at the same weight ever since. Like my body is HAPPY at this weight. Some kind of karmic JOKE! Anyway - I'm sorry for the very long post - but I would really like to know others opinions on what has worked/not worked, helped / not helped, etc. I know everyone is different but I'd like to see what options besides counting calories I have. I CAN do that but honestly my pattern of eating looks like this: one day (eat ALOT), next day (eat hardly anything). So I think the calories work out. I tried lower fat yesterday and I was starving and grazing all day - so that isn't a good answer. I think I'm about 60 - 70 % fat but it is VERY HARD to say as the meat here is fattier than in the US and since I buy it from the butcher it is not clearly marked as to appx fat content. We have some dishes which are almost pure pig fat (danish dishes). They are YUMMY! Oops - lost my train of thought there. Anyway - ideas? suggestions??? Thank you! I LOVE this forum. Everyone is so open and open-minded. It must be the Kool-aid!

OK forget the 'diet' - I'm going to do THIS!
Just over 11 years ago, on Aug. 4, 1997, Jeanne Calment died at age 122. Born Feb. 21, 1875, the lifelong resident of Arles, France, was the oldest person who ever lived whose birth date was reliably confirmed. Her quick wit, lifetime of exercise (she rode a bicycle until she was 100), and cheerful disposition - “I will die laughing,” she once said - all played a part in her longevity, but two of her dietary habits stand out: She reportedly ate nearly two pounds of chocolate a week, and was “devoted” to port wine. No matter what - you die happy!!! |

Kacey,
FWIW, from doing lots of IFing and eating high animal fat, I have gotten completely away from feeling the need to eat, period. Now, even if I eat high sugar crap, like if I dive into donuts for the hell of it, it does not affect me. I don't start having massive cravings the next day. I can best sum it up as the body gets used to whatever one does. There are so many people who swear they HAVE to eat (graze) all the time. I can go two days without eating and not feel like I'm craving anything. My guess is it's all about controlling blood sugar levels. I think IFing and ZCing and eating high animal fat is like a method to heal the body. I think if someone is having cravings for carbs all day, then there is definitely a metabolic problem going on. A normal way of being is for us to NOT need to graze. A normal way of being is for us to NOT have huge sugar swings, with hypoglycemic symptoms. Perhaps the best way to get back to our normal ways is to try to emulate our ancestors ways of doing things, which was NOT grazing, and was NOT eating carbs, and WAS eating good animal food, including animal fat. On the weight loss deal, I think it may take some time to get to the point where your body will give up the extra body fat. If you feel better eating a ZCarnivore type diet, then that is a great sign right there. If it keeps you from obsessing about food and keeps you from grazing, that is also a good thing, right? Eventually, your body composition will start to change. It may take awhile. My best suggestion is to realize what and how we should be eating, and, at the same time, that we are subjected to the acculturation of modern society. There is no easy way around that, but, while practice may not make following this WOE perfect, it sure will make it better. HTH.

When we go zero-carb, our need to eat goes wayyyyy down. I've been consistently zero-carbing for almost 3 months now and I'm only hungry once or twice daily. Today, I only ate once, at around 2pm. And right now, at 10:30, I'm soooooo not hungry. Best feeling in the world but strange too... | ||
| jeff |
Kacey, you've lost 2 inches from your waist while only losing 4 pounds in the past month. You have lost fat.....but you've also gained muscle! You are working out alot, so that makes sense. Two inches off my waste would equal 20 punds of fat. | ||
| Kacey |
Thank you for that Jeff! That is motivating to hear. I was getting a little bummed out but I appreciate everyone's comments - and Dean and Kristelle are right - I DO feel better so we have to count that for a lot too.
I just want this weight OFF of me - but 20 pounds of fat gone! I'll take that !
|
||
| Kacey |
Um, minor news flash (for me anyway) - I can zip my size 12 black jeans that go with my 'hooker' boots!
Woo hoo! |
||
| Heather L |
That's worthy of a celebration... and you'll fit in well around here with the boots. hehe 
|
||
| Dean |
Another boot babe for the back of the Bus!
I trust you have a matching whip.
|
||
| jeff |
Hooker boots? Back of the Bus, please.
|
||
| Kacey |
Well, several actually! Which do you prefer???
|
||
| Dean |
How 'bout you meet me at the back of the Bus and we can try all of them out.
|
||
| Kacey |
Quick check in at Journaland.
Sorry Dean, I've packed all my whips and various other 'items' already in my bags for the cruise. You'll have to wait til I return. I'm seriously hoping customs doesn't get nosy and remove anything!!
I missed my exercises for 4 days in a row (missed versus skipped is where I TRIED to work them in and couldn't - skipped is where I said - oh to hell with it!). Then we had a little drink-fest at our house on Saturday night with some friends. I skipped the cake, the cookies, the whipping cream (yeah - I know!) but alas after several hours of THEM drinking and me not, well the wine finally made me succumb. (I was totally helpless in the decision) Result, today is Tuesday morning (I DID do my exercises yesterday) and I've lost 2.5 more pounds. WTF?? I exercise like a madwoman, eat perfectly, and stay the same weight! (I know - it's muscle!  )
Then, I 'cheat', don't exercise and lose weight. Confusing???! Anyway - we leave tomorrow night for the cruise where my intentions are good. Lots of meat, very little treats (regarding food), but probably too much alcohol. And LOTS of exercise. So let's see how that new combination works. Be good little boys and girls while I'm gone!

Have a great time on your cruise, Kacey. We want all the details when you get back.
