This is an interesting weigh-in for me. When I was last on Fat Secret I weighed 0.6 pounds less than I do this morning. However the day I left for my two week trip to Mexico I was 3.2 pounds more than the last weigh in. I do find that I am looking at both numbers in assessing how things went.

I worked hard to not only enjoy the Mexican cuisine during my trip but to also remain cognizant of what I was ingesting calorie wise. I didn't want to 'miss out' on a traditional delicacy but I did not want to return to a 10-15 pound weight gain (perfectly plausible outcome as I have done it before!).

When I returned home I was 0.6 pounds less that the amount that I weighed when I left and 2.6 higher than the last logged in weight. Throughout this week I have returned to my routines and am pleased to say that I have dropped an additional 2 more pounds. Personally, I am calling this a win!

My trip to Mexico City wasn't the traditional trip that most of my Canadian friends embrace. There was no ocean and sand (but there was sun!). Mexico City is 12000 feet above sea level so it is cooler than the beach resorts. Highest temperature was 29C (85 F). What there was a lot of was amazing art - in public buildings, outside on roll shutters, in parks, in stores, etc. Truly wherever I looked I saw murals, pottery, textiles, sculptures! They were integrated throughout daily life as well as in museums. They generally make it free for people over 60 to access the museums (some exceptions). I saw lots of indigenous culture overlaying modern life. Music was everywhere and general population random people would kick up their heels and dance in the street! I found the people friendly and helpful despite my lack of Spanish and their limited to no English. You know you aren't in a tourist zone when the person manning the government tourist booth does not speak any English! I was fortunate to have a friend who was well versed (but with limited Spanish skills) in the area. We saw an active volcano and pyramids both an hour bus ride from Mexico City that I certainly wouldn't have seen without his knowledge of the area! My trip (minus the airfare) cost me about $2500 CAD including hotel, food, activities and souvenirs for 15 days. My guide is cost conscious so that certainly helped to keep the costs down. I would recommend this trip to everyone!
