Going to Jamaica was an adventure. We had a group of 27 people in our party. This was a real party. The food was excellent and really tasty. We stayed at the RIU Ocho Rios Resort. This resort was all inclusive, drinks and food—the temptation to go overboard on food and drinks was always present but I was able to contain myself while still enjoying all that Jamaica had to offer. Every morning I did my workout enough to build an appetite and then burn the calories later at the beach or the pool by participating in the water aerobics, beach volleyball, etc. I made it a point to stay active if I was going to enjoy that great Jamaican food. This may not seem like much but I was able to lose ½ a pound while on vacation. In days past, I would have gained more like 5 pounds. So all in all, I am very proud that I did not gain any weight while enjoying my vacation. I would recommend that anyone that goes to Jamaica should do the Dunn’s River tour combined with snorkeling and the boat ride.
