AuntieJan's Journal, 07 May 2012

It's about time I got back to my routine, and that includes daily check-ins here. What a busy month that has passed, most of it good, some of it not so much.

Since I last posted a journal entry I was on vacation and I was happy to have actually lost one pound while having fun at Cayo Costa. That was a couple weeks ago and I need to get an updated weight recorded in the next day or so.

I have been under a huge amount of stress and last week was horrible, issues with a family member that has caused hardships and hard feelings due to his own selfishness, I am trying to deal with it as best I can. Thankfully I was able to spend some time doing some creative projects as well as spending some time with people that actually care about me. But enough about that.

Cayo Costa was wonderful, as always, and it was good to REALLY get away from civilization. Good times and good memories! We ate well and got plenty of exercise, hiking and biking, kayaking and swimming. The fishing was good most of the week and really great on a couple days! Lots of fun, surrounded by God's beauty.

We enjoyed some really beautiful sunsets!


As well as sunrises...

A few of the seaside treasures I collected.

Biggest Loser Nomad continues and we are getting down to the last 1/3... it officially ends in July. I am going to hut the gym hard from here on out, my visits have been sporadic and even though I have gotten exercise in other ways, a session at the gym is very stress-relieving. Plus, 'tis the season for cookouts and barbecues, I went to a Cuban style Cinco De Mayo party on Saturday that was complete with a whole roasted pig and of course Mojitos. Did pretty good the rest of the week so I could indulge a bit.

Well I have a yard that needs to be mowed so I'd better get on to it. I will get caught up with everyone this week, hope it's getting warm where you are because it certainly is here in muggy buggy Florida!

Peace.

I am so glad you were able to get away - what beautiful pictures. Hope your stress level quickly goes back down. BTW - your weigh ins look a lot like mine and I've only got 3 weeks to lose my 10 pounds. Oh well!

Hi there Skinny! Yes I did enjoy my break and I was so happy to have lost a bit, they even gave me an extra pound loss for BLN because I participated in the blood and bone marrow drive two weeks ago, but I didn't record that here. Maybe I should have but I'll weigh in tomorrow at the gym. I hope all is well with you, I will get caught up on your world this week!

Thanks Buffy, Cayo Costa is such a beautiful place and it's worth a bit of "roughing it" to me, it really is like having a tropical island to yourself at times. We can do it Buffy, we may not make ten but we can darn sure come close to it! Let's throw a personal challenge down right now! ONWARD....
