The Ink-Pot and the Palette

Interesting, isn't it, when we drop pounds when we expect to have gained? I can relate to you a brief story of a neighbor/friend who LOVES fairs and fair food. She lives for the County Fair each year. This year she went literally every single day of the fair and ate every fried, fat, butter drenched food she encountered. By the second week she was beginning to feel a bit ill, but hung in there and went anyway. By the end of the fair she had dropped three pounds. Her body was revolting, however, due to the high grease quantities. But, as you say, during that time she was stress free. No worries at home to deflect her activites, her usual health issues were put aside for the fun of the fair. And, I believe you walked a lot more than you realized and just keeping up with friends who are your tour guides can be very consuming! So glad you are home though!
