And I went on a one-week cruise to Mexico, lost 3 kilos (6.6lbs) because I was actually eating regular meals in a low-stress environment and hitting the gym on a regular basis (as opposed to coming home at the end of the day, taking the easiest food option available, and falling asleep on the couch). I got off the boat just enough to remember why I left Latin America in the first place.

Why, I even spent some time feeling smug and self-satisfied in the ship's library!
