Our recent trip back to Vermont was success. Visiting my family is always a great time for Emilia and I. This year was particularly special with our announcement of a baby in the works for next summer. The excitement this generated took some time to settle down, but eventually did and we all got back to the usual activities of eating, and eating...
By the end of the trip I was ready to start a salad and water diet after overdosing on chocolate, Ben & Jerry's, and Cabot cheese for two weeks. Combine that with the 'driving culture' in the US where everything is at least 2o minute drive away and no walking or cycling is allowed, gives an extra large dose of holiday cheer. My holiday cheer tipped the scale at about 2 kgs, which is not all that bad considering the sheer volume of Ben & Jerry's I was consuming each day.
Now back in Turku, loosing the holiday cheer is easy. No car means riding my bike at least one hour per day just going to normal activities such as work, school, training, etc. Add that to the first real training block of the year means I should be grateful for a couple extra kilos to use for energy in the coming weeks.
