Hi all!

I'm back... with a few grams up! doesn't matter at all; I actually thought I would gain way more during my holidays, so I'm happy that after all I ate (and I enjoyed every-single-bite of all my beloved mexican food!) I didn't gain that much.

I loved being back in my country and spending time with my family and some of my friends. Unfortunately there wasn't enough time (I guess there is never enough time when you are with the people you love) and I came back very, very sad; but well, at least I enjoyed the time there. I am way too emotional now, and wondering if perhaps it is time to come back home... I enjoy this country and my job and everything here; but you know what people say, 'home is where the heart is' and my heart is still there. Let's see. Hopefully being back in the office and getting busy will keep those thoughts away.

I ate a lot of all the dishes I love <3 and that also made me very happy. Oh! and also, most of my friends and family noticed that I lost "a lot" (so they said) of weight and people congratulated me so much. That was so rewarding! As I said a couple of times before, I am doing this for myself and not for others. But the fact that others see it and make me know that I am doing good, was really nice and makes me want to push it more and lose more and look even better than I do today.

So here I am, getting back on track and setting new goals in life, some of which I want to share with you as well:

- Commit to exercise more
- Lose the remaining extra weight I have, latest by October (date to be further defined once I get to know how much I actually need to lose!)
- Tell my family and friends more often how much I miss them and love them
- Be grateful for the amazing things that Germany is offering me in a personal and professional areas
- Start defining my future steps instead of letting life guide me as it wants.
- Think less, and feel more
- Go back to my healthy way of eating! I loved my holidays but my stomach is killing me now and making me pay for all that misbehaviour

Sorry for the long post. Happy to read you all again!
