Spring Break Punta Cana Style

Y'ALL! What a trip it was! This past week I was able to treat my hubs and I to an all inclusive trip to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, it was the 5th trip that I had earned for us and this one was hands down the best one we have ever been on! Maybe it was the 2 years of waiting for it, maybe it was the perfect weather, maybe it was me stepping out of my comfort zone and having conversations with women who I look up to and get my inspiration from! Whatever it was it was incredible!

We left Friday night at midnight and flew over night to Dallas where we had a quick 2 hour layover (just enough time to grab breakfast and be on our way!) we got to Punta Cana around 2pm their time and then the fun of customs happened (this trip we got hit so hard with customs lines in both directions!) after 30-45 minutes we finally got on our way to the shuttle where we had some more waiting (it wasn't that bad but with so much excitement it felt like forever!) a 30 minute ride and we finally arrived in paradise! One of the things I love most about these vacations I earn are the arrival, they always go so freaking big for us! A customized banner, live band, drinks, snacks the absolute works you feel like a celebrity getting off that bus! Once we got checked in we hit up the spa reservation line and got our 80 MINUTE couples as well as a facial for my coach and I! We then went to the dinner reservation line (yes I know there are a lot of lines up front but once you get all the reservations taken care of your not in line anymore!). Once that was done we headed to check out our room and HOLY MOLY they upgraded the hubby and I because our room wasn't ready when we got there and we had our own little oasis area, if you followed on stories you got to see it each and every morning and let me tell you I have visions for a back yard being just that! We hit up the beach, welcome reception and then dinner!

Sunday morning the hubs and I went to the gym and then headed into our hydrotherapy and massages! You guys if you ever have the opportunity to stay at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Punta Cana do it simply for their spa! Its incredible the hydrotherapy is a steam room, followed by a rain shower, sauna with cucumbers for the eyes (I freaking loved this!), with a tropical bucket shower, then an ice room, followed by a jacuzzi soak and cold soak! Once you are done with that you head into your therapy session! After relaxing we went and found spots on the beach with our friends and this is where a MASSIVE highlight happened for me. While hanging out all the incredible women that train me through my workouts came over and where hanging out in the bungalow next to us! We were able to spend the afternoon talking with them just about life and asking questions about nutrition and our training, it was so scary for me as I am totally introverted if I don't know you and then you get my extrovert side, so to step out and talk to them just as I would my friends was HUGE and such a big confidence boost for me! (STEP OUTSIDE THAT COMFORT ZONE BABE!) The hubs and I had a super nice Brazilian steakhouse dinner this night, and showed off our awesome sun burns (again follow over on the gram to see all this in real time!).

Monday morning I was able to go and do the live workouts with our amazing super trainers trying out our newest program coming out at the end of May, its going to challenge you know mater where you are in your fitness journey and I am so here for it! We spent the day at the pool and tried to stay out of the sun as much as we could as all of us got a little to much during our beach conversations! Stephanie and I went and got our facials (my first one!) which I fell asleep in, it was so relaxing and felt so dang good! That night was a date night so the husband and I went and played putt putt in which we each got a whole in one which was super fun and exciting and then hit up a gorgeous steakhouse for dinner, where I had another first! I had my first Gin and Tonic lol, your girl loves her high sugar super over the top fruity cocktails but this trip was all about trying new things and stepping out of what we normally do and it was the best thing I could have ever done! Speaking of which while at the pool we got to hang out with a member of our cooperate team, I have this massive dream to speak on stage and share my coaching journey at our annual coaches conference, while talking to her she mentioned that she was looking for someone to come and speak to the network about the power of our live events. Without thinking I volunteered to do it! Told you there was no staying in a comfort zone this trip and now in April I am speaking to our entire company and I am so dang excited to be taking the first step in achieving that public speaking dream!

Tuesday was the last full day we had naturally it started with a super motivational workout and then it was back to the beach and it was so relaxing! I also tried out the flow rider for the first time (they are at each one of these events and I am always to afraid of doing it and looking like a fool), it was a lot of fun when I got it and wasn't just sliding down it lol! We had our farewell dinner and closed out the incredible vacation!

Wednesday was our long travel day back home, so the hubs and I went and got a 3 mile run around the resort (just 2 laps around it was all you needed!) we got some food, took out time checking out and headed for what would be the most stressful adventure to come!

Spring break in the DR was what my heart and sole needed to see friends after 2 years of virtually hanging out, to be back in an environment where growth is encouraged, women support each other no mater what, and people just genuinely want to help others feel happy and believe in themselves is what I needed to be reminded on why I started this business 5 years ago! More than ever I am wanting to pay this forward to other women around the world, to let them experience one of these top of the line vacations where you are treated like a queen and given the space to fully embrace yourself and be loved by so many!
