The Costa Rican Paradise- My bowels agree. I returned 2 days ago from quite possibly the greatest trip I have taken thus far in my 27 years of living. Myself, and 17 other men embarked on a journey to Jaco Beach, Costa Rica, for the bachelor party of my best friend, JCR, where we stayed at the above Casa Ponte. Just look above, is that not a picture of paradise? If you don’t think so, email me and tell me your idea of paradise, we’ll compare and I bet I’ll come up on top. To ensure privacy, I am not disclosing details of our trip, but instead I will disclose a quick detail of what my bowels thought of this trip. This 4 day party was another point of evidence that shows that no matter what I ingest into my body, if my mind is in a comfortable place, I will feel good, and my gut will feel good. As I said, not getting into details, but of the 4 days I was down in CR, I frequented the bathroom just twice, and had a pleasurable experience both times. It wasn’t until I was waiting for 3 hours at Miami International for our midnight flight to New York, that my bowels did a 180 and made me run to the bathroom (Yes, I do “Carry On” baby wipes). If you’re interested in a wet ‘n’ wild vacation, Jaco Beach is filled with surfing, fishing, zip lining, Imperial, ladies, Imperial, and more ladies. It is a beautiful place that offers much to do, and our guide couldn’t have offered a bunch of guys a better experience. Here is a link to his website, www.hookedoncostarica.com. His name is Capt. Josh Foster, and what he did for us was unimaginable. Now, on to fixing this irritable colon. Much to my surprise, I received a comment a week ago from the author of the book I mentioned in my last post. I spent two hours last night writing up Excel spreadsheets, ranging from Daily Stress/Thought, Relaxation Training, to a Decatastrophizing worksheet- I can’t wait to dive into that one. I figure it will take at least a week for my gut to return to “some” mode of normality, especially since the change from a liquid to a solid food diet is a drastic one, so I plan on beginning this new therapy on Monday- no ifs, ends or buts. For now, I am in a detox and recovery stage. Stay tuned…
