Adjusting to After Vacation


My daughter and I just got back from a short vacation.  We were only gone for four or five days and trust me when I say that we couldn't have gotten home soon enough.  Please don't misunderstand.  We had a great time.  It's just that if we would have stayed for a week or two, we both would have come back quite a few sizes larger than when we left.  Vacation is just that... vacation.  We indulged in everything and this most certainly included food. 


Breakfast was free at the hotel and it wasn't your simple continental breakfast. They had Belgium Waffles that you could make yourself and we did... each and every morning.


We stopped at local places for lunch and dinner.  And at every single place there was someone telling us all the wonderful things that we just had to try.  And we did try everything.  We wanted to feel the ambiance of the area and what better way than through the food.


And there was a wonderful place called Moomers with homemade, hand churned ice cream.  I don't think I need to tell you how many times we frequented this hot spot.  It was daily and it was multiple times per day.


By the time we got home, we felt inspired to begin anew.  First we were in need of a natural body cleanse and a grocery shopping trip to restock the kitchen but with fruits and vegetables, and whole wheat bread and pasta.  And lastly, we set a goal to begin a regular exercise program.


My daughter is at a spinning class as I write this blog.  Happily, I am here with a coconut pineapple ice cream cone.  I'm older.  It takes me longer to make adjustments to my life.  This is only my second today... which is an improvement.


This is a sponsored post for Xango, however, all the points and views are my own.
