Hey there!!

I’ve been searching for resorts for what feels like forever, and I’m looking for recommendations now because everything is blurring into one 🤣

Travel Dates: Flexible (ideally this fall/winter) 7-10 days

Location: Anywhere

Price: Flexible (up to $6,500)

Coming from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Things we’re looking for in a resort:

- No kids

- Multiple Pools *bonus points for lazy river or water slides

- Small Scale, but not a luxe boutique feel as we like mingling with people who have a similar lifestyle

- Great food with vegetarian options that aren’t just fries and pizza

- Amazing beach

- We’re early 30’s but don’t love the nightlife scene. We would rather sit with a drink and play cards!

- Hiking or outdoor activities nearby (no golf)

We previously stayed at The Westin Reserva Conchal, and really enjoyed the vibes of that resort.

I’m 5’6” female and pre covid I was always around 160-170lbs. During covid my max weight was 210lbs…

I’ve always been pretty active, I have a physical job that has me walking 6-8 hours per day.

Last year I got married and decided to start recomp at 205lbs from the advice of an online trainer. From January to May I worked out 3-4 times per week, lifting heavy and cardio from my work. On my wedding day I was 185lbs and still felt fat, even though I was visibly leaner with muscle definition.

Post wedding I got back up to 200lbs because that all at once lifestyle didn’t really work for me and caused burnout.

I’ve been creeping around these subs and realized I maybe should have lost weight prior to recomp? I restarted and I’m currently at 182lbs from a calorie deficit and walking. My question is ideally when would be the right time to start recomposition again? I would like to slowly start incorporating weight training, this time in a healthy way so I don’t burn out.

I’m the sole caregiver to my disabled mother, and this has really opened my eyes to the use it or lose it mentality.

Any advice is welcome 😊

Long story short my mom is suffering from Parkinson’s disease, and had an episode this evening that was extremely traumatic. I have been doing so well after starting Zoloft and Wellbutrin, and finding comfort in different places. But tonight after I got home I couldn’t help myself and ate a whole pizza (started on the car ride home because I couldn’t even wait)

I’m disappointed, sad and frustrated that I let myself do this after such a long streak.
