Well, hello 
It's been almost a month since I last showed up around MFP. I was in Mexico for work. Spent 17 days there, between Mexico City and Playa del Carmen. It was all kinds of awesome!!!! I can't say enough about how good [real] mexican food is. I spent 17 days without tracking a single calorie and it felt good. I didn't binge. Since I changed my eating habits I'm very conscious about what I eat even when not keeping track of it. After 17 days I gained 3 pounds which find to be great if you think of many calories and carbs I was getting.
I've been home for over a week now, and I not only got back to my before-mexico-weight, I lost one extra pound. Life is good.
I'm still not tracking what I eat, but I do am measuring/weighing everything I put in my mouth and keeping my protein/veggies high and my carbs not so high. Mexico was fun. Eating what I wanted was great, but there's nothing better than that feeling you get when you know exactly what you are putting in your mouth and have complete control over it.
I'm ready to continue losing!!!!!

Love Playa del Carmen! Or did 18 years ago when i was there!
Sounds like you had a busy and wonderful time. Congratulations on a great job of watching what you ate and exercising to a very modest gain. I can swing three pounds after a salty meal, so after so much time travelling...Well you ROCK!
Glad to have you back!0 -
