Slimming tortoise :o)
Get that water down your neck Lisa - most of it will be dehydration bloat..............
I "gained" 3.6lbs whilst away for 10 days on holiday, but 2lbs has already gone since Friday so most of that was carb bloat (no brown bread to speak of in Greece it seems
) and dehydration (it was high 30s/low 40s degrees most days and I still felt thirsty despite drinking at least 3 litres of water every day and not a drop of booze passing my lips!).
I probably have had a small gain as I had dressings on gyros and salads that were no doubt full fat Greek yoghurt based (delicious though), you couldn't get skimmed milk so semi skimmed had to do and the only breakfasts available were fry ups so I stuck to cereals - the lowest calorie I could find. No fruit salads unless they were lathered with ice cream or squirty stuff (and you apdi teh same whether it was removed or not!!) and in a small village there were no supermarkets just a couple of tiny food shops unless one wanted to walk 5km to the nearest town in the burgeoning heat as there were no local buses services either and I wasn't paying 18 euro return to go 5km down the road by taxi In any case our "self-catering" apartment consisted of a single ring electric hob and no oven so cooking was pretty much out of the question too!
Still, I enjoyed the wall to wall sunshine for 9 days - very elusive in the UK over the past few summers; although the heat could have been turned down a bit - it was BOILING. The entertainment was amazing (it was a rock tribute holiday) and it was nice just not to be stuck behind a desk all day as well.......... I love my job, but hate all the sitting in front of a computer on my butt for 8-9 hours 5 days a week
Your jeans will soon be back to normal if you keep guzzling I am sure. If you can't face water, have NAS squash instead - I find it much easier to get my quota in that way.
