P.S.   Weighed in at 150.3 pounds this morning.  WOOHOO!!!!

Vegas Success!!

So my trip to Las Vegas was wonderful...and even though I was worried about how the eating would go, I did really well.  I counted all my calories and made really smart choices...and couple that with all the walking I did not only did I maintain my weight but I actually LOST a pound.  :)  That made me so happy.  I feel so great about how well I am doing.  Going on vacation doesn’t have to mean over indulging and putting on 5 pounds, it means having fun and enjoying yourself all in a healthy manner.

So as of this morning I weigh in at 151.7.  So close to 150 pounds, I can almost taste it!!  I am sure that I will get there just a bit slower since I am no longer walking all over Las Vegas boulevard.  Twice while there I had breakfast at McDonald's.  They have a new egg white and ham McMuffin with white cheddar and it is only 250 ish calories.  That was perfect for me.  The other two days I had a veggie omelette at this sandwich place, and I forget what I ate the other day.  

Dinners were a bit easier because by then James was done with the conference stuff he was there for and I was able to share things with him.  Also the people putting on the conference would usually have food afterward for everyone.  Even though I didn’t have a tag on saying I was part of the conference no one seemed to question me being there when I was getting food...which was great!  I had some seafood which isn’t as fattening, and also some salad.

Eating healthy isn’t so much a problem in Las Vegas, what is hard is eating for cheap...or even semi cheap.  Everything is very expensive on the strip, and I suppose that is expected when you are in a travel destination.  I saw one place that said milkshakes were $9!!  Crazy I know...but really that is about the same price for one in San Francisco along Pier 39.  

So anyway….really pleased with my continued success and feel like with James’ help I will continue to be.  He is still taking my protein bars to work so I only have one a day, and I know if it wasn’t for that I would still be eating way too many.  Hopefully one day I will be way past wanting to have more than one a day and he can stop taking them to work for me. lol  

P.S.  Pictured below is one of the dinners I had, Adobo Chicken Tacos.  YUMMY!
