This past weekend, I spent a long weekend celebrating my
sister’s bachelorette in Miami.
One of the things I like the most was that in the planning
stages she requested various classes that she wanted to attend while we were
there.
I am one of those people that genuinely ENJOYS working out
and while yes I suffer from days where I have to kind of drag myself to it, I
feel worse if I don’t move my body somehow.
And let’s be honest, when you are in Miami and rocking a
bikini the majority of the day – you WANT to do some sort of workout to feel
your best (or maybe that is just me…).
So luckily I was able to get in something each day.
Thursday – we all arrived late morning and went to an
evening barre class at Exhale
Friday – we started the day with an early morning Flywheel
class and I wound up running and lifting at night while they got their blowouts
(yay for Japanese straightening, a blowout is kind of counterproductive since
it does not get frizzy at all).
Saturday – repeated the same and hit up Flywheel first thing
Sunday – I was CRAVING some alone time before leaving and
ran a little over 8 miles (on the ‘mill because Miami humidity and heat is
already ridic at 8am).
Getting in something each day definitely had me feeling my
best as I threw on my bikini! I know I don’t have a “perfect” body but, I am
damn proud of the work I have done this year to try and whip it back into
stronger shape.
Then for eats, each night there was a dinner planned. It was
nice knowing where we were going each night to plan ahead meal wise (especially
since my Crohn’s hasn’t had me feeling that great). We hit up some great spots:
Lure, Katsuya and Prime One Twelve – all meals to die for!
I refrained from any day drinking the first two days and
only had one at each dinner. The final day we had a cabana (we were staying at
the Delano) so there was a little champagne during the day and then the night I
had more than one drink ;)
Overall even though I am super tired and in post vaca coma I
am happy that I was able to both stick to routine without feeling like an
outsider because of it and also party it up! (I am way too old for the late
nights – dinner wasn’t until 9pm each day, YAWN).
AND obviously so much fun to celebrate with my sister!

This sounds like SUCH a fun bachelorette weekend! You look great and it sounds like you had a ton of fun :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! It was fun, but intense - I am not used to so much activity ;)
DeleteI always appreciate knowing where I'll be eating out on vacation so I can plan accordingly. Crohn's does not allow for much wiggle room, and I have no problem eating ahead of time just so I can enjoy my evening! No use in eating something that may send me back to my room for the night. Glad you had a fabulous time! :)
ReplyDeleteExactly! I hate "winging" my meals. I prefaced the trip with the fact that I would have to have a toned down version of what was going on bc I went into it not feeling so hot. Surprisingly when I did drink the last night I woke up feeling fine which I was very thankful for - usually alcohol kills me and I pay for even one drink.
DeleteHi lady! Miami sure is a fun place for a bachelorette party! Tell me about your Japanese treatment on your hair. I have been getting keratin for years and it doesn't work as well any more. Have you ever done a post about your hair?? :)
ReplyDeleteI'm totally with you that on a beach vacation, working out makes me feel better about wearing my bathing suit :)
