    Our trip was fabulous...... what a beautiful country is Switzerland...so beautiful! I didn't get chance to run but had a nice hour long walk in the sunshine and lots of browsing round Lucerne and Zurich. Wherever we go, food is always a huge part of the enjoyment so I decided to just eat what I wanted...it was only 4 days after all....I put on a few pounds as I overdid the carbs I think so have reset my weight and goal thing...and...treated myself to a new set of bathroom scales..they are Lagoon Blue...but still weigh me the same...lol

    Today I did a 5 k run before roasting a sweet potato with tomatoes, onion and herbs and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese...it was so easy to do and was delicious...... very healthy and low in calories. I will be having it again!

    After a worrisome morning, the mail brought a Jack In The Box discount flyer. Since I haven't been to one for well over a year, and am now on maintenance, decided I would treat myself. I biked over and order a BLT burger and pumpkin pie shake at half price. And they were both so good :drinker: However the burger & shake came to 1,457 calories!! :noway:

    So once again I was reminded of how easy it is to pack on extra weight. Makes me think of Mad Eye Moody bellowing his mantra of "Constant Vigilance!" Maybe I should buy the t-shirt :)

    I need that tee shirt :bigsmile:

    Hope the bike ride over was a long one to burn some of those cals. I get all kinds of coupons in the snail mail and my email as well. I have set my priorities and only use the ones that get me what I want and need to feel good about my diet. There is a Sweet Tomatoes place near me. If I stick to the salad bar and iced tea, it is a treat and does no harm.

    Sounds like a lovely trip.

    I like the sound of that sweet potato, I love those and rarely have white ones any more. I'll have to try your method.
