Vacation Weight Gain: what's your number?

[hermitclub]

+1 for other people vacationing with me here on the Cape. I have every excuse to eat fried clams and homemade ice cream. My willpower this summer has been non-existent.

My problem was not food...it was beer and margaritas. :

I second that, but for me it's the beer and wine (or is it whine?)

Sangria. Lots of Sangria.

And pistachios. And chips.

Oh and my weight is back to normal this morning. Whew. Must have been water (sangria) weight.

Well, this is good to know... both not alone, and the key is if you have your bike on vacation, your golden.

Knott is right about a little goes a long way. I was in the good routine when I first lost a ton of weight I carried for many years post kids (roughly 40#s). The food must "be worthy" of the mouth before it enters. Like Knott's reaaaallly good piece of chocolate. Opposed to just eating on the fly like the vacation.

Labor Day will be our last short trip to wrap up the summer. This will be just a long camping weekend. Both of my bikes will be going. My kids are only old enough to do a spin that only gets me a moderate coast. I will venture out alone to burn off some camp fire smores.

Good Lord, I just read the back of the Kraft package... did you know that just ONE of those weenie little marshmellos has 25 calories ? Daaaannng... that's a lot of calories for the multiple fire treats.

Maybe I will pack some of Knott's exotic expensive chocolate for just ONE Team Estrogen special smore. Problem solved.
