Fri, Sat, Sunday Recap

10k - Went well. I was not in the headspace to do the race.  My toe spur was bothering me, left knee aching so I just did it to to it.  I ended up finishing 17 seconds behind last weeks time - darn it - guess I should have tried harder. Oh well. Next Friday - my goal is to come in under 1 hr 20 min so i'll give it my all! 

I can't remember how the rest of the day went.  Did my best in all the activities and got my exercise in. I took off for Las Vegas my summer vacation right after dinner on Friday night.  Traffic was CRAZY!  Took me an hour to get off the I 15 to my hotel ( gps said 2 minutes). 

SATURDAY - I enjoyed the pool ALL day long

- 45 degrees and basically hung out in the water on my floating in the lazy river, wave pool and other pools.    Went for a breakfast buffet and made good choices.

Egg white omelette with no cheese, topped with pico and guacamole ( healthy fat) and some hashbrown potatoes ( yes, they are not the devil... it's just carbs and they're necessary for us, just not too much) and more veggies and fruitl. 

Lunch I had sliced turkey, hummus and flat bread , fruit and veggies that I packed with me and went out for a dinner buffer as  well ( I had a food and beverage credit - so no sense not using it.  It was a great test in the real world and I passed with flying colors!  So proud of my choices.  The plate method is really easy and just looking at balance!

I didn't do any "exercise" figured i'd take the day off ( I was supposed to do 1 hike and 1 workout as I jammed out of my 1/2 day Saturday) so I figured it would be easier to workout sunday instead.  I did manage to get 15,000 steps in - made the effort to move more.

SUNDAY - I woke up early and instead of laying in bed and wasting time, I was one of "those" people who got up and got their workout in before 8 am! I walked from the monte carlo all the way to the LAS VEGAS SIGN before 730 am at 30 degrees

went for another healthy buffet when I got back and then checked out and went shopping. I went into the Columbia outlet and got Carson his pants.  I figured I would look around - I always have to shop in the mens section as the women's does not fit.  I looked at some clothes and took 5 things into the changeroom and I CRIED.  They all fit. A regular XL in a normal store, when I have a closet full of 3X clothes at home!  I ended up getting 3 Columbia shirts, 2 jackets and carson's pants for $140.  CRAZY!

Did some more shopping for Carson at FRYS electronics. I was starving, I waited too long to eat.  So I took out my container of peanut butter, jam and my sandwich thin and had lunch added in 1 hard boiled egg a bag of veggies, water and an apple and voila! FIXED UP . No need to have a bag of chips of or a chocolate bar at check out or drive for fast food, it was faster to take my own!

I got back to MOVARA and hung out in the pool and relaxed until Supper was ready.  Not many here this week, it'll be nice. Way quieter - 30 people compared to 90! 

Put in 45 min hard peddling on the exercise bike after supper and came back to the condo and enjoyed a hallmark movie and started packing - yeah - I get to go home soon!

ps. my clothes are starting to get TOO BIG~! Hooray!
