    How I discovered the secret to weight loss

    • Last week, I went on vacation.
    • I did not eat all the things, but I ate a lot of both healthy and unhealthy snacks. And I didn’t sit down for a real meal between Thursday afternoon and Sunday morning.
    • I tracked my food, mostly in dismay at how many calories things actually have. I went over “budget” almost every day.
    • I set a goal to work out three times but only made it to the gym twice, where I struggled because we were at altitude. My longest run was 2.15 miles. (Good thing it’s a stepback week?)
    • I also did arm weights while on a stationary bike, confirming my status as That Girl In The Hotel Gym. You know.
    • On Monday (er, today) I pushed my suitcase to the side and dug out the scale.
    • I lost 2.4 pounds.
    • Wait, really?
    • Huh?
    • …
    • Oh, I get it!
    • Clearly the only sensible thing to do, because I am so serious about my health, is become a professional vacationer.
    • I’ll be out digging for treasure in Central Park if you need me.
    • (That’ll probably take care of the arm weights.)
