After a six-day Florida vacation, I gained one pound.
That is A Win, in my book.
Two of the days were travel, so we ate road food: Cracker Barrel and Taco Bell. But we also had some carrots, and relatively healthy apple-raisin-nut bread.
The four days at the beach, we ate out every meal, but only two meals a day. I ate grilled mahi mahi every chance I got.
The first day, we rode bikes seven miles (about an hour). The second, we walked/ran 2.5 miles (50 minutes), and the third, we walked/ran that same 2.5 miles in 47 minutes. It is this minimal exercise that kept the gain manageable.
I'll take it, and get back to the running/lifting now.

It's nice that the weight loss blog today was sponsored by Mickey D's scratch made biscuits...;-)
It's possible to not gain weight while on vacation. For example, during a recent visit to the Bahamas, it is my pleasure to report that I did not gain a single pound. I credit this to eating the native foods which included some kind of seafood everyday. From grouper, snapper and most of all conch it's amazing how fresh fish helps the metabolism work efficiently.
The Bahamians as a rule don't eat a lot of processed foods either. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that I stayed away from the heavily sweetened rum drinks and walked every day,too.
The weather and beautiful sandy beaches were an added plus along with the kind and accommodating Bahamian people.
