Shana's Travel Diet

While I haven't weighed myself in a couple weeks, I am certain I have lost more weight. When I last weighed myself, I was done about 20-25 pounds. And since the Goal Jeans I brought with me (girls, you understand; guys, don't ask if you don't know) couldn't be buttoned then, and can be now (though, they are dangerously tight -- but the point is I could barely get them over my hips before I left), I reckon another 5-8 pounds have been lost.

This phenomenon is not uncommon with me. I traditionally lose weight everytime I travel for more than a week. It's generally about 10 pounds per month. Simply, I'm just more active (when I have the time, I walk quite a bit), and my diet tends to be better. Read: I am not stuck in the office building that only has relatively high-fat lunch options (their low-fat options usually tasted on par with cardboard). Granted, I am also unofficially on the Atkins diet. Before I came to Argentina, I had a steak maybe once a year. Now, I have steaks an average of 2-4 times a week. I've even had steak for lunch and dinner on the same day...

And it goes without saying that I eat Alfajores and chocolate frequently. As in: Every Single Day...and I'm still losing weight.
