I love going on vacations!
I got back in from Vegas on Monday night and can I just say the trip was SO fun! I totally miss hanging out with the girls. I want to do it again! YAY! We shopped… and we shopped, and ate, and shopped more, watched Phantom of the Opera, and topped it all off with………………..more shopping! So much fun I could’ve easily stayed for another two or three days. And it’s only Vegas!
BUT… I am going back again this Friday. I have a houseboating trip in Lake Mead. SO a bunch of us high school friends are going to stay overnight in Vegas on Friday night before we head over to Lake Mead the next day.
I totally stayed on top of watching what I was eating in Vegas. I did have Korean bbq and two buffets. One at the Mandalay Bay and the other one at the Wynn. But I still stayed in my daily calorie budget of under 1800. The key I think was everything in moderation. So that worked out really well. Plus we were walking so much from shopping.
Now that I’m back it’s back to the gym for my daily runs. I went last night right after flute lessons. Did 6 miles in about 73 minutes. Felt great. I missed my 24 Hour while being away at Vegas. Time goes by pretty fast for me these days at the gym. It’s normally an hour there or maybe 2 if I do some resistance training beforehand. I will be hitting the gym again today for an hour of cardio, also tomorrow and Friday day time as well before I head off again. That should pretty much have me set for the whole week.
On to some pictures from Vegas….
On the first night we stayed at a friends's house off the strip. They weren't there but were nice enough to let us borrow the house for a night. I slept in the master bedroom on a king size bed. Mmm.. heaven. And we also made Chocolate Truffle dipped Strawberries. So good....
This was my birthday ice-cream cake...............before we even ate it. We open the box and this is what it looked like inside...
All of us trying to figure out what happen in the box...
Made instant noodles at 3 a.m. in-between episodes of Desperate Housewives on DVD...
Now the fun stuff... Shopping!
