The Vacation Paradox

I Did Not Have Relations With Those Chips

When I return from vacation, I'm usually lighter -- in more ways than one.

First things first, I totally did not miss stepping on the scale. If I didn't miss it, I should step on it less at home, right?

I didn't do kettlebell or Zumba while away and the only thing that I climbed was stairs.

I drank the Izze. I put half and half in my coffee.

I let myself have Babybel albeit the light ones.

Babybel Plus

I ate veggie burgers that looked fairly greasy.

I felt like I ate a ton of bread.

I am more and more baffled by weight loss. Is it the sitting at my desk that hampers weight loss? I keep seeing this tweet and I know it's true but it never seems that way on vacation.

30% gym, 70% diet. Abs are made in the kitchen, not in the gym.

So, I totally think I should take more vacations.
