5 pounds (minimum) in a week's vacation... that's my answer...

See, here's what happens to me... the vacation police show up and put a loaded gun to my head, "eat MORE ice cream, or else...".

Tonight's scale step on was umm, about 8-9-ish, so the usual early morning nekkid weigh in routine will be the minimal 5 pounds for sure. I just got part of that off too, shame on me.

I guess it's like I was reading in one of Selene Yeager's (Bicycling mag's FitChick) books "Every Woman's Guide To Cycling" (while eating my yummy vacation mint chocolate chip ice cream) you can rationalize and it gets you. Selene was writing about how she actually gained weight when she first started riding "well, I rode 2 hours today, so I can have another treat, and another... and so forth". Kinda like my vacation treats.

Gheez, one day maybe a trip will come when I can actually maintain, or lose a pound. New saddles to try came in the vacation mail at least, good reason to ride extra I guess, eh?
