Jan.21. Back from vacations, getting new camera…

Hi, well.. I’m back from my trip to Cuba. And there’s not much to say.. pretty quiet vacation with my parents… beautiful, gorgeous beaches, difficulties being a communist country… well, good and bad days.

While on my trip, I had a terrible headache that lasted 3 days.. there’s nothing such as a Drugstore in there, so I had to survive with some of the pills we were taking. I went to La Laguna de la Leche (one of the biggest on earth – has to be something like Milk’s Lake).. there was a good restaurant in there and a lot of Cat Fish that devour whatever you throw them… and also La Laguna de la Redonda (I really don’t know how to translate that, but it’s a beautiful lake with red water!!).. I will post some pics later..

While on La laguna de la leche, we had an attack of mosquitoes, and also, my mother and I had to take antihistaminics … uff… mosquitoes bit me more, but my mother’s got infected… well… enough said… nutrition was really really bad if you consider that on the entire Cuba, you can hardly find a Chicken Breast or Meat… there’s pork everywhere.. but fried… EVERYTHING’S FRIED!! so you can imagine… 

Fruits were very hard to find also, no apples, no oranges, no nothing… just, potatoes: yams, malanga, yuca.. rarely white potatoes… so… rice and pork were very easy to find but fried.. you could find pizza everywhere (seems like Cubans really love pizza). And of course RUM… people drink on the streets at every hour of the day… I had a lot of trouble finding DIET COKE… and when I found one, somebody asked me if I was diabetic… no dietetic culture in cuba… seriously!!… 

Well today was my first day at work.. I’m reading Adam’s RTP transformation system, and can’t wait to turn this pretty damaged mindset to my previous one… I’m one of this tough cases when you need to really focus on the kind of transformation you want. I think I will start Adam’s system on Monday, because I need the discipline back… tomorrow I will take what I know is going to be an OPENING EYE PICTURE for me…. because I gained some of the weight I previously lost.. hopefully, some of the work I did is still on me… I’m not feeling good right now, specially when I was doing so well… I need to feel like before, psychologically, and have to follow the plan exactly…

   So, oh! I was almost forgetting, while on Cuba, one of my mother friend’s daughter wanted a digital camera, and just for you to have an idea, one of  the cameras that you could easily find in the US at us$150.00, in Cuba cost $500 euros! you can imagine the problems that people have to get electrical devices or stuff like cameras, dvds, televisions, etc., she wanted my camera, and so I gave it to her… so one of the first things I did when I got home, was finding a new digital camera for my pictures..

  Well, enough said, thanks a lot for your comments and your support while I was away…

  1. Hi Celina, Welcome back! Sounds like you had an interesting time in Cuba. You appreciate what you have so much better when you don’t have those things around you. We are truly blessed to be where we are! I know you will love Adam’s program and you will do so well with it! Looking forward to see you progress.
    I also want to say “Thank You!” for joining me in my “Christmas Sprint”. I am happy to report that from the beginning of December through last week, I dropped 6 lbs.! Some may be loss of LBM…but I aim to build that back up the next 10+ weeks using Adam’s program! Really absorb Adam’s program the next few days and rock it out on Monday!

  2. Welcome back Celina! I’ve missed you and your posts mate :)

    Glad you had a good holiday. Are you ready to shred hard now?

  3. Great to see you posting again, Celina. What an eye-opener that trip was for you (and for us too).
