Mexico

I have been home for a few days and am finally getting back to reality, including my new life as a blogger. I had a great vacation with my mum and my sister - lots of sun, sleep, and much needed relaxation. Although I didn't make it through the week with 100% shiny health record, I did not too badly compared to previous overwhelmingly indulgent all-inclusive vacations. Here's the generalities of my week away, good and not-so-good...

Exercise:

• I made going to the gym to check it out and find out the hours right away. Yay me!
• I never actually made it there for a workout
• Our hotel room was quite a climb from the pool and restaurant and we did not attempt to get ourselves a closer room...just made the climb repeatedly despite the calf cramps :)
• I did have bouts of energy and took advantage of the long beach. I also put on my awesome purple kicks to run stairs yew!

Food:

• We ate at the buffet restaurant every meal which gave me the opportunity to make healthier choices and offered flexibility in meal sizes
• I ate a lot of salads, fruit, grilled fish, eggs...mmmmm
• As the week went by I got lazier with nutrition and by the end of the week I have to admit that pasta, toast, and icecream (with sprinkles of course) were entering my digestive system with some regularity

Drinks:

• I chose water 90% of the time over margaritas and other delicious sugary drinks....that's right. 
• I did indulge in a few evening cocktails with my sister
• One evening I MAY have indulged in a few too many shots of tequila....just saying. 

Don't judge....this blog is about honesty and growth :) I'm just resting anyways.

Attitude:

• I gave a lot of thought over the week to how things have been going since I started this health adventure and I came to the conclusion that I need to get my butt in gear. Not that I am disappointed in my progress, but I know what I am capable of and I am nowhere close to it at the moment. Innovative is working hard to push me and I think I'm pushing back at them pretty good....I won't get into it further with this entry but changes are on the horizon! yew!
