Ana Klizs

I turned 36, Johannes turned 8, Henrik turned 2 and today Michael and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary. All the while I’ve been pushing a lot of my emotions down deep and telling myself “its no big deal And it will come, because this isn’t the first time I’ve felt overwhelmed or emotional about time passing, and it likely won’t be the last. I’ve closed down a lot of my social sharing, though it might not be as obvious to everyone and I’ve been vigorously trying to do whatever I can to bring my feelings to a head…spring cleaning, selling old things to buy something new, organizing the kids’ rooms, focusing on my workouts, looking ahead to changing careers, new sporting activities for the kids, new vacations to make memories, and so on.

You might remember our trip to the Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit near Puerto Vallarta last year around this time, well we had such an amazing experience there that we decided to book a week at the Mayan Riviera location as well to be able to experience both, and we had the most wonderful experience. The Zen area is self contained in the jungle, with a stunning pool, delicious restaurants, a large gym, a kids club, mini golf range, a beautiful spa that was voted #1 resort spa in North America and a quiet atmosphere. The Ambassador side of the resort sits right on the white sand beach and has a much livelier atmosphere, its own kids club, restaurants, gym and more. We realized 2 things on this trip though: (1) we need to book 10 day trips instead of 7 because we spend 2 travelling and when you’re travelling with 3 kids its exhausting to say the least.

This has been the most requested video, blog, review of all time…well maybe not quite, THIS was the most requested post of all time but the review of the Apple Watch was a very close second. To be honest it took me so long because the task of figuring out how to shoot it felt very daunting

I can’t tell you how many times I repeated it to myself: “let it go Ana” this past year. Not just in terms of fitness, but everything
