Mexican Cruise Day 5: Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
In Puerto Vallarta we went on another excursion! This time we went on a Kayak and Snorkel adventure.





We started off getting on a boat and getting a tour of the islands. What we didn't know and what isn't in the name or description of the excursion is that it was all inclusive. They served us drinks on the way out there (although no alcohol before water activities).




When we got there Jake and I went snorkeling. We were warned there may be jelly fish but after living in Hawaii so long Jake and I knew what to look out for... or so we thought. After snorkeling for a few minutes I felt what felt like a sting on my right arm but I thought the strap to my floaty cut my arm or something. So I keep swimming. After a few more minutes I feel a few more stings. I look over and what do I see?!?  TINY JELLYFISH!! I yell over to Jake telling him there is jelly fish and to get to the boat but he didn't hear and swam to me. Then we had to swim through a bunch of jelly fish back to the boat. By the time we got back I was stung at least 7 times and Jake was stung at least 5 times. The employees to the excursion got us some cream and that helped quite a bit. Good news! We were the only ones that got stung.

After getting stung by jelly fish Jake and I weren't feeling up to kayaking. So while the others kayaked Jake and I enjoyed an amazing sandwich buffet. I originally thought they were just going to serve pre made cold sandwiches but it was a buffet with lots of fruit and veggies too! I made some amazing veggie sandwiches, had a plate of fruit, and had a couple margaritas. After everyone was done drinking we headed over to the next part of the excursion.





We went to a beach and walked up to a waterfall. I had wanted to go swimming in it from pictures I saw online but the water was pretty muddy (I'm assuming it had just rained recently) so we just took pictures next to it.



After that we stopped at some shops and bought some handmade souvenirs. Then we made our way over to the beach. We relaxed and had some coconut water out of a coconut! Jake and I really liked this excursion. Even though we got stung by jellyfish we had an amazing time. That's how you know it's a good excursion!








Later that night we went to dinner where I was able to have minestrone soup and tofu steak! It was amazing! I had tofu steak last time I was on carnival as well and I haven't found out how to make it as good as them yet.

Warrior Challenge Obstacle Course and Mud Run

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Today my husband and I completed the Warrior Challenge Obstacle Course and Mud Run! We got there at 07:30 bright and early. Before we went I ate a little bit of fruit and packed some things we might need (lots of towels, baby wipes, eye drops, snacks for afterwards, water, and electrolytes). I really enjoyed myself and it was empowering to accomplish it! Jake and I did it together all the way through. I'm so thankful that I have such an amazing husband that is so patient with me and helped me all the way through the event. The event was just short of 6 miles. It had over ten obstacles and included mud pits and a run through the woods that was very muddy! At the end we got some free water, Gatorade, fruit, snacks, and beer! I was very surprised but my Fitbit Surge held up pretty well! The only thing is when we got sprayed with water at the end, the force of the water must have hit one of the buttons and it turned off my Fitbit. That was as we were crossing the finis...

LASIK: Three Week Review

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
So on May 27th I had my LASIK surgery! I'm going to write the great, the good, the bad, and the ugly. The Day Of The morning of the surgery I woke up very early to make the 1.5 hour drive the where the center was. They said to make sure to eat the morning of because they didn't want the valium to make my stomach upset. I managed to get some nuts, granola, and some other snacks down. I was really nervous so eating a bit was hard. If I could do it again I would have eaten an actual breakfast! I didn't eat enough and afterwards I was very nauseous. When I finally got to the clinic I waited about a half an hour after my appointment time to be seen. I wasn't in a huge hurry just very anxious and the wait didn't help. I already new what to expect but I just wanted it done and over with. I was finally called in and we went over some paperwork that I had to sign, they made sure I knew about all the risks involved, I made the payment, and then they gave me a little happ...

My First Day at GNC

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Well today was my first day at GNC. When I asked for my days off she seemed understanding because I brought it up on the first day. However, my probation period is ninety days and I'm not allowed to use the cash register and I'm taking tests and training the whole time. So by the time I'm planning to leave and start working in a Fitness Facility I would still be on probation. I feel bad for only staying with them such a short time and them investing training into me. I'm wondering how long this will last. I plan to stick it out for a while and see how it goes. I'm not worrying about it because I know God has great plans for me and I just have to trust Him. I have applied for ten fitness facility positions on post this week and this weekend I will be applying to fitness facilities in the city that I am in. Hopefully something comes through and I can start putting my schooling and passion to use!
