Vegas Bound Baby…

Two weeks after returning home from NYC – I am off to Vegas for the week.  Again, for work – but it is Vegas nevertheless!  I swear my body knows I am headed to Vegas as not 10 minutes after being on the plane, my body began to swell… One of the most undesirable effects of being in Vegas.   While I know I am in the big LV for work – I plan on getting in some sun, fun and posibly some shopping! 

For the past two weeks, my sissa and niecey have been in town visiting.  I tried to spend as much time with them as I could, but as usual – life got in the way.  However, the time that was spent together was big fun!  I cannot believe how big my niece is getting, and too smart for her own good fo sure.  I am counting down the days until the Family Reunion in WVA when I will get to see them again.

For an update on the Rodes Family Biggest Loser Competition – We have 5 weeks left – less than half way there.  Last week I pulled a 3.6 lbs loss out of my ass (literally – my detox tea must be working… HA!).  I checked in with my weight this morning before I left for the airport, as I want to gauge how this week goes.  As mentioned above I tend to swell in Vegas, so I do see a lot of water and alfalfa in my future.  (off subject – my iphone/ipod was just skipping… seriously – did not know it could do that.  Hmph). 

Also – while I know we will be eating out breakfast, lunch and dinner this week, I am going to try to have some self control and not be a pig.  I brought my shape-ups too – so I hope to get some walking in.  I have never really walked the strip before, and I would love to while I am here this time.  My hopes is that I will lose or at the very least maintain my weight for next weigh in.  I would really like to see a total of 10 lbs lost for this leg of the competetition – right now, I think I am around 5lbs. lost thus far. 

Well, better try to get alittle cat nap before we touch down – it’s going to be a long day!

Viva Las Vegas!
