Impromptu photo shoot at the Arenal Hotsprings :)

Arenal Volcano-Active!


What a great vacation it was. I almost cried when I left. I felt so comfortable there and I loved the locals, the food, just everything. Except the driving, yikes! Thank God Jason was driving or I would have probably had a meltdown! Anywho, it was a fabulous trip and was perfect for our anniversary. Can't wait to go back!!

Sooooo....

I am back from Costa Rica..and I have tons of pics yet to be posted. But, I am just too tired! Tomorrow should be promising.

I DID workout while I was on vacation..by the book. While it was hard, and somewhat Un-motivating (Hey, Tony's remarks are motivating to me, I'm a dork..I know!), I did complete them. I have been still sticking to my vegetarian diet, and I think that has made a drastic difference in my health overall. Not coming down on meat-eaters, just my first hand experience talking. Anywho, can you believe that I lost another 5 lbs during vacation?! Carazy. Today, when I was doing plyo, my pants kept falling off.

Never experienced that before. It was nice, I gotta admit.

This is what I want to say about Beachbody, and all their amazing programs. You NEED dedication. Diligence. Hard Work. I have been blessed beyond belief that I have not become sick during my challenging 3 months. I can say-with alot of pride-that I have not missed a single workout, and I've only cheated 2 times on my diet. The one thing I think I screwed up on, was not bringing my recovery drink to Costa Rica. I just forgot. Creatine and Protein are very important! But I tried to compensate for the loss by eating lots of fresh veggies, fruits, water, and protein bars..along with some tequila on some nights! ....Hey-it was our 3 year wedding anniversary, so don't give me any sh*t about it! :)

I am going to finish off this 3 month journey with doubles, and my recovery weeks..then my pics. Hopefully they will be crazy drastic different than my last! I LOVE being healthy and FIT!!

We're Back!!

And it's 1 am, and after over 15 hours of travel today, I am giving you this blog post. I must be crazy! :)

Just wanted to let ya'll know (quickly) that we had an AMAZING time, Costa Rica is BEAUTIFUL and my husband just absolutely ROCKS! We had a wonderful time of reconnecting and just having fun seeing new things together. More pics and more info to come-when my eyes aren't half shut from being so tired! ::yawn!::

Thank you for all your prayers for safe travels-we had such an easy travel experience with the airports and customs, everything was on time and no luggage lost! Plus-we came back with no injuries and in one piece :).

Love you all and good night!

Leaving on a Jet Plane...

We leave tomorrow to Costa Rica!! Woot!

Happy 3 year anniversary to us..Jason I love you more than words can say. These 3 years have flown by and have been such an amazing journey. I still feel like I'm just getting to know you and, boy do we have a great time with life. My Joy comes from God, and YOU. I love you :)

Prayers for safe travels would be appreciated as well. :)

I will be doing my 2nd to last week of P90X in Costa Rica-so hopefully they have a DVD player! If not I will be doing it "by the book" which is something I really would rather not do, but if I have to, I will. Gotta have those drastic 90 day pics SOON, can't wait to post-they're going to be GOOD. (Pat on back). haha.

The hardest part for me is leaving my kids. Especially Isabel..this will be the first time that I leave her for more than a day. It will be hard, and I know there will be tears here and there. I know the reunion will be sweet though, so that's what will bring me through. Did I mention that I LOVE MY KIDS?! Family is so sweet.

Needless to say..no blogs for a week. I hope everyone "keeps pushing play" and keeps eating clean. Remember, every workout is money in the bank. The hardest part of working out is just getting started. Once you got your workout clothes on and get your mind right-that's half the battle right there. Even if it is YogaX that you have to do. LOL. Which is what I have to do in a couple minutes..Oooohm.

We finally found a hotel!

Here's a pic of our pool area..I AM SO EXCITED! This vacation is definately on a budget, but we are planning to zipline through canopies, see monkeys, and see as much of the 'real' Costa Rica that we can. Pray for safe travels February 16th-February 20th!

And thank you LORD that we found a hotel..we are going during high season, so there was literally, like 4 hotels to choose from in the area we were looking for. YAY!

P.S. The name of the hotel is Magic Mountain Hotel. I just though that was halarious! I fully expect a roller coaster upon arrival. LOL.

Please Pray

1) That my dang OB/GYN office will get their butts into highgear and get my copper IUD in. For the love..It's only been..9 MONTHS! Calendar method can only work so long for a fertile mertile puertorican like myself. I won't even get into condoms. Ew.

2) That our closing goes as planned this week so we can book our hotel in Costa Rica. Turns out we are going there during "high season." So most hotels are booked full capacity. We really would LOVE to stay in La Paz, near the volcanoes. That's one of Jason's dreams actually. Let's make that come true!

3) That the dynamics of living with my parents would improve, and not regress. I'm sensing some tension here and there (between me and my mom, mostly-who doesn't! I sensed the "tension" when I called her a bitch. That'll do it!). We got at least 5 more months here so let's make it good and comfortable for everyone.

And that I don't turn into fat lard butt on vacation. I'll be done with P90X right around that time, so I might fall off the wagon. Jason forbids to bring any dvd's with me because he'll know that I'll do it every day. I might just have to hide them somewhere...

Well as you can see...

WE ARE GOING TO COSTA RICA!! Thank you to my hubby! Sweet suprise :).

Airfair is booked..but not hotel! So we are on the hunt.

If you have went there and have some insight for us..let us know!!

Have fun watching the Presidential Inaugeration!!
