Amazed...

I just got back from a month in Spain, where I was with a study abroad group from my school.  That's amazing enough....but I was staying with a host family and had little control over what I was eating.  I thought for sure I was going to come back and have gained weight. I wore my pedometer most of the time, and was averaging 6 miles a day of walking, but was not necessarily eating as well as I should have been. I jumped on the scale yesterday, a frightening though, and was down another 7 pounds from when I left.  I was beyond sure that I would have gained weight while I was gone. I'm so happy and amazed!

That is super! Where were you? I travelled all through Spain on holiday when I lived in Paris my Junior year of college. There is just such a difference between the European lifestyle and ours. Since so much of life revolves around the center cities, you have to walk or take public transport. And the foods you can eat are so much healthier. I remember I ate and ate that year yet I lost 50 lbs. Congrats on your continued loss and on getting to experience such a wonderful cultural experience.

I was in Granada.  It was also amazing to be there when they won the Eurocup.  The energy was amazing...and crazy. Thanks!  I'm glad I went.

Wow, what an experience!!  And great walking too!!  congrats on the wieght loss!!

Congratulations!  It must have been amazing over there.  One day I hope my family can go.  I know the food is fab and making good choices can be difficult.  Congrats on making sound choices and walking so much.  That certantianly doesn't hurt! Tammy
