Alooooooooha!

I've returned from the lovely island of Maui! 

This was a family reunion rather than a true vacation, and yet I packed a lot of relaxation into the four days I spent on the island.  Seeing my brother marry the love of his life was a beautiful experience, and although the photos of my not-so-svelte figure make me cringe, the captured smile on my face is a testament to the wonderful time I had.

I even had the chance to get an amazing massage at the Four Seasons spa.  I'll write more about it in the coming days.  I also managed to arrive home with a coconut bra and grass skirt in my suitcase.  There could be hula dancing in my future. 

If I never eat another chocolate-covered macademia nut, it will be too soon.

So!  Back to whole grains, lean protein, lots of veggies.  And water water water.  I'll post this week's menu once I get my bearings.  I have a feeling this is going to be a tough week of detoxing off of the sugars I consumed for the last week. 

I did have the chance to talk to several members of the bride's family who have recently lost a considerable amount of weight on the South Beach Diet.  They recommended the recipes - I'll be taking a look this week.

It is good to be home!  I'm off to have myself an iGallop ride, and catch up on American Idol on TiVo.  Hope you all are well!

There's a set of hula workout dvds available on Netflix if you want to put that coconut bra to good use! SBD is a very sane, very good diet with good recipes. A couple doctors recommended it to me for diabetes, pregnancy and all around good long-term do-able eating plan.
