hi everyone,

i just want to share about one of the best vacations i've ever had.

i wanted to jumpstart my exercise program/weightloss. i looked into an "ashram" but that was too hard core for me at this stage

i went to a place called "Amansala" in tulum, Mexico (you fly into cancun). it is a program called "Bikini Bootcamp". at first the name intimidated me.....as i will probably never wear a bikini again. but it is anything but initimidating

it is a rustic camp that holds up to 17 campers. the small amount of people allows it to help people develop really nice relationships within the 6 day program.

the day starts with a morning walk on one of the prettiest beaches i've ever been on.

meals are soooo healthy and delicious. they are prepared naturally and are fresh.

the day is packed with classes, excursions, or if you want...free time to lounge on the beach.

excursions include biking to the ruins, snorkeling in a cenote, shopping.

it is hard to put into words how i feel today vs last saturday when i left stressed.

i havent weighed myself....but i am getting ready to meet my trainer. this program gave me the push to get my exercise prorgam in gear.

the website is:

food, drink and laziness. yesterday i felt great and my skin is clear from not eating junk.

Sounds wonderful...and relaxing! I would have been afraid to try anything with the word "bootcamp" in it. Good for you for giving it a shot.

Sounds glorious! I'm about to start a "bootcamp" through my gym in 2 weeks time and I think it will be a fair bit more hard core than that!!!
