Been travelling. Just now I learned that while both "travelling" and "traveling" are acceptible spellings, the variation with only one "l" is American, while the other is used in Canada/Britain (and most other English-speaking countries). Just in case there was anyone else out there reading this besides me who didn't already know, there you go.
I was recently out east where I did a substantial amount of walking around. Around 6 hours per day, I would say, on average. I don't drive, and I didn't know where I wanted to go well enough to bike, so I walked everywhere. Eating-wise, it alternated between super healthy, forgetting to eat altogether and being understandably indulgent (it can't be a vacation for nothing). My budget for the trip was low, which meant that I would eat cheaply from fresh produce markets and prepare food where I was staying with friends and relatives. That, along with the numerous unavoidably necessary hot dogs, and not to mention the Midnight Poutine. Amazing. (Note: I kind of hate that I love hot dogs. But I do.)
What it all averaged out to was, when I arrived home, my roommate remarked that it looked as if I had lost about ten pounds. I haven't checked this on the scale, but I took my usual measurements in inches and it confirmed that I was down considerably, even smaller than I was after I had been sick for three weeks. Following this, I highly recommend the budget-travel & walking exercise and diet plan as a way to get into the right headspace and, after noticing an encouraging difference, getting onto the right track back home. Which is what I have been doing for the past week, and I've impressed myself so far. Keep going, team.
