As the sun sets on my amazing summer vacation, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time on this beautiful island, Barbados. This year I came with a different approach. I wanted to maintain the healthy lifestyle that I have now incorporated into my everyday life, rather than abandon it while I was ‘on holiday’. This is about more than just what I eat, it’s also about what I do and how I think and feel.
The natural environment of sandy beaches, clear blue sea and glorious sunshine made it easy for me to relax and be at peace. The tropical fruits and vegetables helped me to find a balance with the indulgent local delicacies. Spending quality time with family and friends produced much laughter and lasting memories. I’ve sought out adventures and new experiences, as well as just chilled out and relaxed.
CC – A healthy life and me is on the road to home. I already have in mind a few of my favourite homemade dishes I’m looking forward to cooking and enjoying. I’ve been more active this summer than ever before, no doubt a result of increased energy levels. And although I’ve absolutely loved the sensation of the sand under my feet and the waves lapping at my toes during my early morning walks, I’m really looking forward to a good hula hoop workout.
So I head home, back to my ‘normal’ routine and I feel happy knowing that this summer I’ve lived well and loved life.
