Evie1010's Journal, 17 July 2011

Vacation is winding down. We're having a blast here in sunny Cancun! We've been pampered and indulged - the weather's been beautiful, too. Yesterday my sister and I enjoyed some hydro-therapy; and then we had a hair/scalp treatment - which was so relaxing. Imagine getting a head massage and shampoo for thirty minutes. Ahhhh!

The chefs have continued to wow me catering to my controlled-carb needs. Yesterday at lunch they made me filet mignon and a piece of mahi mahi cooked to perfection wrapped around two shrimp, surrounded by fresh colorful vegetables. Dinner last night was amazing - I had a full chicken breast stuffed with cream cheese and spinach; a creamy spinach and cheese soup, and a shrimp ceviche salad mixed with diced melon and mango - the perfect blend of sweet and sour; literally the best thing I have ever tasted in my life. Everything's been delicious! I am loving my low carb lifestyle!!

I am so happy to say that I have not eaten a single thing outside of my Atkins-plan while I've been on vacation these past two weeks. That's such a great feeling - to know without a doubt that I have made a decision in regards to my health that has become a totally permanent lifestyle for me. No temptation can break my resolve. My family has been pretty impressed with my steady commitment to this way of eating, too. Well, I am off to the pool for some fun in the sun! Have a super day, everyone! = )

Ok, totally jealous over here. And drooling. And I just ate dinner. The food sounds AMAZING & I'm so happy you are enjoying paradise...you deserve it!!! I've been hearing a lot about ceviche so that is going on my list of recipes to try. Have fun!

Sounds like a marvelous time you are having down there in sunny Cancun. Hate having to get back to reality when enjoying such lovely vacation time. The foods are so nice and clean and so simply but finely prepared. Hope you try to replicate some of the dishes when you get back home to recreate the memory!

thanks Kat! Let me know what you think about the ceviche when you try it. I've had it two ways - with shrimp and with mixed fish. Yummer-oonie

Thanks for your comment Babs. Great hearing from you! You are so right about the freshness and excellent prep of the foods down there. I miss that fresh fruit and seafood so much! I do hope I can replicate some of the foods. I did take pics of some of the entree's -- and my sister kept saying "I can't wait 'til the next time I can come to your house to eat", implying that I would become so inspired by the meals I was served in Cancun and begin cooking those same dishes right away at home. Me thinks I'll stick with the tried and true for now....
