Cabo: A Recap

Well, we've been back since Friday night and it took me until Sunday to really feel right again. I'm a creature of habit who put her body through some major turmoil last week. Though my eating was pretty clean, my beverage consumption was not, and for this I paid. Surprisingly, no skin issues to speak of, but digestion has been horrible and we're both having insane cravings, continuing into today. I've been drinking a lot of water, eating my raw sauerkraut, and until today have limited my carbs and overall food intake, hoping to give my body a little rest and my gut some time to heal. Nice. 


I'm not going to say that I didn't enjoy my poolside libations, but it is a huge eye-opener with regard to goals and weighing what's important. I've been working really hard in my workouts, have been eating super clean (leading up to our trip), and know that I will bounce back, but it's getting easier for me to realize what's important with regard to my health, well-being, and physique...and, alcohol is moving it's way down the list of "indulgences", or...off of my "Healthy/F-Off Scale". 


Moving along, here's a bit of what I ate:

With exception to our first and last days in Cabo, we ate the same Breakfast every morning, 
-Poached Eggs w/Roasted Yams, Avocado, and Fresh Green Salsa...YUM! 


Other days we ate:
-Omelets w/Ham and Spinach and a little scoop of Potatoes w/Chorizo (I'd never had chorizo, so I had to try it...good and spicy)
-Soft-Boiled Eggs w/Avocado


Lunch:
Shrimp Cocktail (Shrimp w/Tomato, Onion, Jalapeno, and Cilantro) w/Avocado and Corn Chips


Dinner:
Seafood Cobb w/Red Wine Vinegar
Halibut
Grilled Chicken (made by my bro-in-law, Tony) w/Cucumber and Guacamole

So, there you have it...my Cabo confessions- Ate well. Drank too much. Exercised a little. Now, it's time to get ready for my upcoming Mobility Cert, Kettlebell Cert., and a move to Portland, OR! But, before I go, I give you..."Beach Crow" (inspired by my incredible yoga friends, Lisa and Ginger):

I had always wanted to try this, when the progressions were taught in yoga class but was too afraid to try. The first time I did, I was at home in our carpeted bedroom...I fell on my head. I'm proud to say, that I can do it now...so cool.
