Post Florida Diet Post-Mortem

  Last week I was in Florida for a work related event. I had been worried about eating while “on the road” and unfortunately my fears were more than justified.   I weighed in this morning and I’ve gained over 1kg, which is NOT good. Whether that is due to alcohol or food, or simply [...]
