Day 2 of cleanse

San Pedro Belize beach pictures

It’s going to be another hot one today in San Pedro.

Had my small bit of black coffee this morning. Paul has been trying to make it as fancy as he can so he asked Coleen’s advice and has been making it in the blender with ice. I am just finishing my supplements now so I can have an apple. Will have something a bit more substantial before going to aqua fitness class.

2 things to be happy about this morning 1. so far no headaches 2. I just had bacon and eggs.

Since pork is in the 20% column of the meal plan I bought some Canadian bacon at the sausage factory as it does not have a lot of fat on it. I have to admit I was a bit excited and I may have gone over 20% but I could not help myself – hungry girl on the loose. Unfortunately my stomach is still wondering where the home-fries and toast are.

After class I came home and had a small bowl of pecans and sunflower seeds and was instantly over taken by the need to nap – missed out on lunch completely. Took my afternoon snack chatting with Rick at the dining room table and browsing the papers – had apple juice and cucumber slices.

Dinner was great – fish fillets veggies and brown rice which I was happily eating while watching Gordon Ramsey kitchen nightmares revisited. Rick came home and joined me – we were on the last segment of the show when all of a sudden the political rally blipped in. That sure got us off the couches and away from the t.v in a hurry which was a good thing as I had to bring our laundry in incase it rains.

(incase you are wondering what happened to Paul today he has been on the veranda reformatting lap top for hours and hours barely making a peep – well maybe the occasional curse word.)

411: rubyd told me today Julia the fruit lady across from Ramons needs more surgery. As far as I know there is no official fundraiser yet but if you happen to be stopping by please remember to stop and buy some healthy fruit snacks.

Love Taco Girl Blog @LaurieNorton! I've been reading this blog since I started visiting Ambergris Caye in Belize almost... 10 years ago. It is filled with helpful up-to-date information and recommendations that I wouldn't necessarily find on my own. Laurie Norton's knowledge and extensive network on the island provides her with the ability to share perks/discounts/coupons with her readers, which come in handy year after year. Things on the island change daily - new businesses pop up constantly and LaurieNortonstays on top of these developments. Whenever I plan my return trip to the island, I always check her blog first - and I recommend you do the same. Trip Advisor ain't got nuttin' on Taco Girl!read more

Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s... always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. There is so much information it's amazing! Thank you Laurie!!!read more

I’m so pleased to see tacogirl's blog on Google. Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and... local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. I especially enjoy her guest articles, providing a different perspective of all things San Pedro. Her tipping quide is a classic, and don’t forget her Tropic Air flight code and on-island discounts. You’re not up-to-date with what’s going on in San Pedro if you’re not regularly reading tacogirl's blog.read more

Do yourself a favor. Read this BEFORE any trip to San Pedro - Ambergris Caye or Belize in general. Not saying “do... what everyone else says”, but Laurie has frank and honest info which will make your stay in country a little more fun, a little more informative, and often at a great cost savings. Best thing: it’s unbiased, honest, and factual. Personal note: thank you for your personal tailored help in answering mine (and my wife’s) questions.read more

Taco Girl (Laurie) is amazing. She has so much knowledge about Belize and has great connections with many of the... businesses in Belize. Because of her connections she is able to offer many perks and discounts that you wouldn't have been able to find otherwise. She is super responsive and I always go to her for all my travel needs. From golf cart rentals, to spas, to places to eat. She's got the inside scoop on all!read more

ABOUT ME

I took the plunge and moved to San Pedro Town on the Island of Ambergris Caye, off the coast of Belize, Central America. Originally from Canada, I made the life-changing move to escape winter for good (in 2006) after one three week vacation.
