Someone told me that the food you consume while on vacation has ZERO calories!!! Is this true?? ....... of course not!! LOL! but it made for a great vacation!

I just got back from Puerto Rico.... i started off trying to "eat right" and log everything in my food diary but it was close to impossible!!! most of the food wasnt "American" and couldnt be found in my reference chart...I didnt have internet access and i didnt have enough time in the day to log stuff!

I got stuck twice while out to eat... i guess i didnt chew my meat properly? maybe b/c i was so hungry by the time the food arrived? I definitely did NOT over-eat anything!! my band was tight and my pouch is super small!!! but i can NOT say that WHAT i ate was "good"!!

I discovered this wonderful italian eatery w/homemade ice cream and gelato!!! Mmmmmm.... then there was the capaccino w/cool whip, the tostones, the arroz con pollo, dulces...........blah*blah*blah***

I did get in a good amount of "exercize" ~ we walked a lot and i played in the waves.... my "new" clothes (the old ones that I can fit back into) still fit -for now (I know the "damage" doesnt always show up for a week or two)

I got right back on my treadmill this morning and had a good workout!! :) My eatting is now back on track....So I feel good :)

PS - I REALLY did miss this site! I missed reading about all of your highs & lows. It will take me a few days to catch up on all your blogs but I'm glad to be back!!!

Isn't there a rule? Like "if a tree falls in the woods and there is no one around it doesn't make noise". New rule: "if you are on vacation food has no calories". I love it!!!

You were on vacation, you ate a little more than you should have, you didn't rob a bank. I am glad you had fun on your trip to PR and now that you are back you will get back on track.

Sounds like a wonderful vacation, sounds like you used your head and were reasonable enough with what you ate and now you're back at it - good for you!

I love the statement "food has zero calories when you are on vacation!" I will use that to my advantage someday. I am happy that you had a wonderful vacation sometimes we just need a break from everything. The Italian eatery sounds heavenly and it's not like you are going to have the opportunity to eat there often it was a vacation splurge now you are back on the wagon - good for you!
