Sadly, today is our last full day on the weeklong Holistic Holiday at Sea<\/a> vegan cruise.<\/p>\n

And while that\u2019s a shame, I\u2019ll be leaving with a distinctly different feeling than I\u2019ve ever had at the end of other cruises I\u2019ve been on — namely, a renewed sense of enthusiasm for this diet and lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Oh, I\u2019ve been motivated to eat and live better by cruises in the past — but that motivation is always of the rock-bottom, \u201cI can\u2019t believe I ate and drank that much\u201d variety. This time, it\u2019s an inspired, enlightened motivation, owing to dozens of talks and classes from amazing lineup of speakers, and a menu much lower in oil than what we usually eat at home. Not to mention being surrounded by 1800 other people as passionate about all of this as I am.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong; we\u2019ve done plenty of \u201cnormal\u201d cruise stuff this week too. The massages (hot stones!), the beaches, the pina coladas, the gambling, the devouring of all five courses at dinner when three would have done just fine.<\/p>\n

But all that has been balanced by the packed schedule of health content on the ship: my wife and I have attended talks by T. Colin Campbell, Caldwell Esselstyn, Michael Greger, Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, Robert Cheeke, and Chef AJ, to name just a very few. We\u2019ve gone to yoga, pilates, meditation, and Qi Gong classes most every day, and still found time to relax and just be.<\/p>\n

And none of this is to speak of what we\u2019ve done off the boat — finding an off-the-beaten-path vegan Rastafarian restaurant in Jamaica that served just one dish, relaxing at a beach in the Cayman Islands with water so clear you could see your feet at any depth, and renting scooters in Cozumel to go to another secluded beach. Today, we\u2019re in the Bahamas, and tomorrow we\u2019ll round out the trip with the NMA Miami running group for a few meals and a run before heading back to Asheville.<\/p>\n

And when I get back, I\u2019ll have some changes to make. New books to read. Blog posts to write. Podcasts to record. And lots of thinking to do. This cruise has been exactly the refresher I needed, and I hope I succeed in capturing some of that here over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

Longer recap coming when I get back!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
