Hello everyone! I'm off to a 16 day vacation in Guatemala tomorrow. I'm not exactly going to be counting calories there, since I want to enjoy the culture and food! But, I know there will be a lot of walking/sightseeing, so at least I'll get some exercise in. Wouldn't you know, I just came off of a really good 2 weeks of scale movement. Oh well...I guess I just know what I need to do when I get back.

Aside from eating and exercise...I'd appreciate some positive thoughts about safe travel. The safety situation there sounds a bit rougher than other Central American countries that I have visited. Keep your fingers crossed for me! Thanks!

    Have a great time. I got back about 2 weeks ago from the Riveria Mayan in Mexico. Stayed at a resort and had all the food and drink anyone could ask for. Was also very active walking swimming etc. Thought that I would gain bunches, but ended up only gaining 1.5 lbs. Guess it was due to being active instead of sitting at my desk at work.

    Hope you have a great vacation and enjoy everything,,, it's a special situation and calories don't count!!

    Have a wonderful trip!

    Don't be surprised if you lose weight while vacationing if you plan to do a lot of walking and sightseeing. When I went to Europe a few years ago, my pants were a little loose upon my return home. I ate all of the things I wanted to try and drank tons of red wine, but walked absolutely everywhere!

    Safe travels!
