And after that I jetted off to Tenerife for a week with my friend, but sadly it didn't turn out as we'd hoped. I'd been suffering with a sore throat a few days before and despite desperately trying to prevent it with various remedies to ward it off, I think it was just one of those things that had to take its course so I was unfortunately incredibly ill for the first five days of the holiday. It was an absolute downer and after trying to just suck it up and see it out, I ended up at the pharmacy at 1am with a course of antibiotics and a big box of asprin after noticing big white blobs on the back of my tonsils (ick.) BUT, the silver lining is I wasn't ill for the entire holiday, and I didn't let feeling like absolute death stop me from having fun (even though I definitely could have benefited from going to bed a bit earlier but never mind.)
We had lots of adventures, from riding the slides at Siam Park to watching the killer whale shows at Loro Parque and eating A LOT (mostly ice cream in my case because everything else was too painful.) Although I can't have eaten that much because I've actually lost another 2lbs. Woohoo! The gym definitely paid off because I felt healthy and all my clothes looked nice (even if I do say so myself.)
So here are a few snaps from Tenerife... and the countdown for NYC in November has already begun! (And unfortunately, so has the detox.)
