(But this is based on personal only on personal opinion. It sounds like you should live like you're at their house all the time! :eek: )
Why don't you try changing the things you mentioned one at a time during the week and see when you notice the change?
wishing I could ever see "my awesome girl-six-pack",

Every weekend that I go to my fiance's parents' house, I notice that my tummy gets noticeably flatter and more defined (yeah, I can see my awesome girl-six-pack). It goes back to being slightly less defined by about Tuesday. The things that I do differently when I'm at their house that I don't do during the week:
1) I only drink 2 small cups of coffee/day as opposed to my normal 2-3 mega mugs during the week
2) I don't drink diet soda
3) I eat different foods than I do during the week
4) I sleep 8-9 hours a night
5) I switch up my workout (I jump rope instead of running)
So which of these things is doing it, do you think? Or is it a combination of all those things together? I'm just curious, that's all. Thanks :)"
spectrachic311 said: "Thanks for the input guys :) I think it is most likely a combination of not drinking the diet soda and not having as much caffeine. I drink water when I'm there. (I know, I know, I should drink more water anyways....it's good for you!). I do pee more when I'm there too...maybe I'm getting my H2O balance back in sync or something. Whatever...my new goals are to cut out the diet sodas and cut down on the caffeine. ;)"
