I missed the blog world while I was away! I have a lot of catch up to do reading all of your blogs. I got back last night and am now in full force damage control. I estimate that I was eating about 40 points per day while I was away, which was fine most of the time when I was walking all day long, but during the conference, it was not so fine. Water consumption was a problem (bathrooms are hard to find, and cost money). So this week, I'll be back on the treadmil and the pilates mat, drinking a ton of water, and will limit my flex points to 10 for the next 4 days until I start as normal again on Friday. I took a ton of food pictures, so I'll be posting again tonight. But the quick summary is that I left like Homer in chocolate land. It was wonderful and horrible, all at the same time :) Oh, and the scale last night and this morning is telling me I weigh 141, so that's a .5 lb gain from when I left. I'm not really sure how to judge that (you know: long flight, salty foods, is my huge gain going to come next week) but for now, I'll gladly take it.Monday, November 12, 2007

I totally want to frolic around my office now.
Washrooms cost money? where?!
YAY!!!! You're back!!!!
.5 gain? Not bad at all...remember when i went to italy and came back a full 20 lbs. heavier? so, yea, i think you did GREAT!
Marie - I really was frolicing from storefront to storefront...it was awesome. In the touristy places/innercities/some restaurants we had to pay for the WC. So I drank a lot at night :)
Glad you're back. And I'm with meg, .5 ain't nothin!
(I seriously have problems writing the word, "ain't." But I'm just going to leave it...)
Yay, you're back! :) Great job maintaining. (I don't consider that a real gain. Flying alone will cause you to hold fluids!)
