Well I just returned from a one week business trip to AZ....where I ate tons of salad and healthy stuff....and still managed to gain 5 lbs.
Ugh.
I know that it was just all about the sheer volume of food. They spoil us when we're there, so there's always snacks (healthy snacks, but still....you can only munch on so many nuts and so much fresh fruit and yogurt before it sneaks up on you too)....catered lunch....dinners out....yummy and delicious, but just too too much of everything.
Kelt's right...at least for me....portion control is a huge thing.
And kudos on your walking sylvie...and the weight loss lips...that's fantastic!
