The Hollando Diet

While I’d hoped to slip in a post or two from Easter Island itself, it wasn’t to be — Internet connectivity on the island was not nonexistent, but it was rather limited, and there were much better ways to spend the daylight hours.

traveling to Easter Island is not to be undertaken unless you like walking. Fortunately, I do, and it was a very outdoorsy four days. We did a lot of walking, which included a few mountains. They may not have been very large mountains, but they definitely counted. So plenty of exercise, and it was relatively easy to eat well, too–and with enough exercise even an empanada or three can be justified.

So I hopped on the scale this morning, and found myself, a little surprisingly, at 166.4. That’s 3.4 pounds from the twenty pound mark. There’s still a good five or ten to go from that point (and since I haven’t been at the gym enough thanks to all the travel, some of that is muscle that’s turned to fat), but all things considered I think I’m in shape to make it into the 150s by Christmas.
