I've been back more than a week. I've been keeping up with with SP although I haven't contributed much. I gained a few pounds too, but I don't think they are going to stay with me. They are mostly from Brahma beer and I'm not normally a big beer drinker. My positive behavior was lots of running and walking. I did two midnight runs through the favelas from Lapa nearly to Corcavado which involved some pretty healthy hills and lots of stairs. I wore my Garmin Forerunner so I got some GPS maps. Here's one: http://connect.garmin.com/play
