So I`ve just got back from 3 weeks in South America (Argentina, Uruguay and Chile), where I totally forgot about dieting :embarassed: and indulge in the feast of wine, meat, champagne and desserts that the culture had to offer me :drinker:
I enjoyed it but now facing the balance again I've realized that I gain 5 pounds!! 5 pounds in 3 weeks! So I`ve got to start all over again. Sooo hard :sad:

    Sorry, but I think the 5 lbs was worth it...

    Not sure when you returned but I went on a British Isles cruise and gained 4 lbs. It was gone in three days :-) I think the alcohol and long flight has alot to do with water weight gain. Get back on it and I bet you lose it all this week!

    3 weeks and only 5 lbs? You should be proud. I can gain that in a weekend.

    Yhea... definitely loved it, even though now it is a couple of steps back in my progress. I got back home last friday and I started back my work out rutine today, so hopefully I`ll keep myself on the right track... Holidays are coming up people!! Quite a challenge that is!!

    What is life without the living? =) No worries. Get back to your normal plan, and you'll be back on track very quickly. So jealous of the vacation btw. I'll bet is was AMAZING!

    I never worry about it when I'm going on a vacation or holiday.

    I know... me too :S... But I walked those countries like no other so I think that helped me not to pop like a balloon, although is going to take another 3 or 2 weeks (working real hard) to get those 5 pound off me...
