1. What I ate - - Meat. Seafood. Eggs. No - I didn't deviate from my normal diet even though I was on vacation. One reason I eat this way is because I want to feel my best. And call me crazy, but I want to feel good on vacation. I worked out every day for the same
reason.
2. What I read - - This book isn't your typical vacation reading. The philosophy of "Finite and Infinite Games" is like a slap in the face while
international traveling. It made me see the "rules of the world" in a whole new light.
3. What I good deed I participated in - - The day after arriving I woke up with a scratchy throat and cough. And I wasn't alone. There were people from all over the world staying at our resort. I met people from Canada to Scotland to China. And it seemed everyone had something.
Luckily, new research suggest we might have been doing our part in preventing global pandemics. Contrary to fears, increased air travel worldwide may actually be causing widespread immunity. You're welcome :)
4. What I witnessed - - Obesity is not an American problem. It's a worldwide problem.
- The "Western" diet or the "Standard American Diet" isn't special to the west nor America. The whole world is eating a junk diet of sugar, grains, and vegetable oils.
5. What quote I thought about -
"Don't postpone joy until you have learned all of your lessons.
-Alan Cohen
6. What I learned - - This was my first trip in quite some time. I love my day-to-day life so much that I never want to interrupt it. But taking time out to hit pause, sit in the sun, and unplug from social media, the internet, and the world is
a good thing. I learned there is a big difference between needing a vacation to escape a life you don't like and taking a vacation as a part of enhancing a life you love.
7. What I was denied - - Mexico is one of the most humid places on the planet. So naturally I packed shorts. Well one restaurant wasn't ok with that. So after being turned away, the next night I put on pants - at least it came with a silver lining.
It's a pleasure and an honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend! Kevin
