MEXICAN ADVENTURES
The journey continues in Mexico - Oct 23. Naturally I was concerned about my weight on this vacation, but interested to see how my new eating/exercise habits would play out!
I had a 5 lb 'buffer' built in before the trip, so even if I put on a few lbs I would still be below goal.
It was a romantic vacation and wonderful for my confidence. I took 4 bikinis and wore them all!
We had a terrific kitchen so we made many of our own meals, keeping with the Mexican theme. Home made guacamole every evening but with broken up tostadas instead of fatty,salty tortilla chips. Fresh local fish, and Mexican fried rice, but we added black beans for fibre and protein.
Exercise included aqua aerobics at the resort pool and lots of ocean snorkelling, following the amazing sea turtles as they grazed.
The end result?
My Wednesday weigh in showed an increase of 1.4 lbs after we returned! A few weeks at the gym should remedy that! The important thing is that I was able to eat carefully but without depriving myself and have a ball on vacation without gaining a significant amount!! wonderful for my confidence. I took 4 bikinis and wore them all!
