Day two of vacation and I quickly realized my body does not bounce back after a day of enjoying a few cocktails. In my 20’s the day after some drinks I would wake up feeling slender and tight (mostly because of dehydration). Haha—not now. Nope. It’s called bloated and puffy. Oh lord.

But here’s the thing. I haven’t put in a single second to better myself in what seems like forever. Being a mom and putting all your time and attention on another human is quite time consuming. In fact, it’s very easy to forget about your own needs. No excuse. I own it. I own the fact I didn’t do a single thing to get Cabo ready. So as I’m getting ready for the pool and not 100% digging the image in the mirror, I am so grateful.

Grateful to be alive. To have the opportunity to take this time away with my husband. To be healthy. To have a fully functioning and healthy body. If there is a little pudge or a lot of pudge, I’m grateful.

Going to enjoy the heck out of this vacation. Still going to eat the tacos and drink the beer. Going to rock my first one piece swimsuit ever!

Cheers to not being perfect (because that would be boring anyway). Cheers to another day. Cheers to making memories. There is always time for self improvement, but this week is not that time.
