I don’t consider myself an active person. Sure, I hit the gym three times a week, I walk around (now that I work in Downtown Vancouver, I take transit rather than drive there) but, if given the option, I think I would take a nap, or just being lazy. Just before I started food blogging, I was able to keep my weight in check; not necessarily an easy task considering I have a big appetite. However, I have noticed that in the last three months, I have gained at least 3.0 kilograms (the half kilogram is dependant of the time of the day; i.e., before or after meals, hehehe)!

Can I blame food blogging? Of course I can! Can I blame the fact I have been travelling a lot in the last several months – which usually means over a week without exercise? (Most noticeable ones: Toronto/Hamilton, one to Philly and two to Baltimore) Sure, again I can! However, in the end, I think I must blame myself. Everytime I have been to a restaurant, I end up cleaning my plate; something not necessarily the best way to eat.

I am due with my trainer so I will check what can be done about this. Would I eat less/exercise more to manage this situation? We will see… ^_^ So, to my fellow bloggers, how much does your eating habits have change since you started blogging? To (food) blog readers, have you visited more restaurants based on blog posts? And, if so, what have been the secondary effects?
