Abner and I are hoping to go to Italy and Greece next year, and I know I won't go again for a long time. More than anything, I want to take it all in, and the food and wine seem to be such a part of this. Were you able to really enjoy how great all the food was while still eating healthy? I think I'm more prone to "chasingparadise's" strategy of going for it on vacation, and then adjusting back into a healthy routine when I get home. Any thoughts? ~Mollymollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02961399685300865234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161579608494284950.post-27694302797068050182008-08-08T05:08:00.000-10:002008-08-08T05:08:00.000-10:00Loving this!

However, the most disastrous & gluttonous vacation I've ever taken was a cruise to Alaska. Too much food and not enough movement.

Ok, not 100% true but I did start jogging...but now hurt my ankle so now will start pilates which hopefully will be less strenous on my bones. Food wise, if I could only not eat so much junk, I'd be eating perfectly healthy. I'm working on that. I'm just your typical out of shape petite girl that looks really skinny and healthy...but most likely no better off.<BR/>I do prefer water over soda. <BR/>See, I am trying. Does that count for something?<BR/>Glad I found your blog.

What can I say, I didn't want to prevent myself from enjoying the city's food offerings. But when I came home, I went back to my regular routine and dropped that weight off in about a week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161579608494284950.post-5225512541698776002008-08-07T04:15:00.000-10:002008-08-07T04:15:00.000-10:00These are great tips!
