I came home from China 5 lbs heavier than when I left but it was all water and was gone in 2 days. When I got home from my France trip I was only 1 lb heavier than the beginning of the month so I felt pretty good about that. Then came the quilt retreat this week M-W. Oh, the food! Huge, delicious meals. All kinds of yummy treats sitting out. I took along some apples and a veggie tray. Too bad I couldn't just stick with those. Sitting on your butt all day does not burn many calories!
