Heyyyyyyy. Athena Jess Aqui!
I’m “back” from a week in Cabo. Actually, I’ve been back for 3.5 days. I’ve been ignoring life since I’ve been back, because mentally I’m still not ready.
You might be wondering: “How did the Athena Project fare while on vacation?”
Let’s just say I put the “FUN” in Queso Fundido, if you know what I mean. I blew my 104-day www.myfitnesspal.com log-in streak, which was probably fortunate because it was graphic food porn and nobody needed to see the gruesome number of mango margaritas “mas fuerte” consumed in a food diary.
The Good: I ran at least 8 miles. I drank one almond milk protein smoothie. Ceviche. I did an open water swim and kayaked. Table Dancing at El Squid Roe. I learned that when I’m drunk in Mexico, I speak fluent Spanish. Chicken Mole.
The Bad: Queso Fundido. Guacamole. Mango Margaritas “mas fuerte”. Late night taco stands. Jello shots. Table Dancing at El Squid Roe. As my fake tan faded, I actually got whiter as the week went on.
It was liberating, however, to not think about ANYTHING for a week. Here is proof I wish that could continue.
Exhibit A: Fully loaded suitcase. Still haven’t unpacked.
If you look closely, you will actually see the Protein Powder I lugged across the 
border.
Actual scoop used: 1.
There is little use for protein powder in a Miami Vice. ———————–>
Exhibit B: Empty Fridge
Expired half-n-half and black bean soup.
A chicken breast I took from the freezer today in case I find energy to cook it
Lentils.
I may have to dip into my Ironman 2010 stash of the crappy protein bars they give to you at check-in. Cookies n Cream Powerbar: It’s what’s for dinner.
Exhibit C: Cold Fighters
My body is mad. It likes Mexico mas. So it’s sick.
Exhibit B + Exhibit C = 
But I did start logging my food again (today!). Thank god my queso fundido days are over.
Time to hop back on the burro.
That fridge is SO sad looking!
My fridge totally looks like that right now but not because I’ve been on vacation or anything…it looks like that because, at 8 months pregnant, I eat EVERYTHING in site so food last about…. uuuuumm… ONE day in our house.
Glad you’re back. And I’m jealous of the queso fundido and the mas fuerte margaritas.
XOXO.
El Squid Roe! Ah, memories…I was just looking at a picture of when we were all there back in…you know, I don’t like to think about how long ago. Lol. Glad you had a great time!
