Just a little update about how I survived the “Sin City” - Let me say that this really is the city of excess - But I tried to keep to my new lifestyle change and really did watch what I ate - It really was hard when there was so many great places to eat and enjoy.  So many choices - trust me it was very hard but I think I played it pretty smart and kept using my food journal of what I ate to keep track of the calories and helped me plan my day.  Yes I did go to the buffet - and I was able to watch what I ate - let me tell you the buffets have some of the best fresh fruit that you can get and you can ask for your eggs to be prepared any way you want - I was able to order some poached eggs one morning. Yes, you have to watch and know yourself - I really wanted to load down my plate with all the fried goods and creamy treats but I knew the rewards of watching what I ate would be better for me than the food itself.

I kept my pedometer with me in my pocket to see how much I walked around between casino and show. My total for the 4 days was 22.75 miles of walking / gambling :-)  I think most of it was the long long hallway to the room.

If you get a chance to go to Vegas - I would highly recommend seeing the shows there. I got to see several different ones while there - Mama Mia (Great Show - Much better then the movie) - and I can’t recommend Le Reve more then enough - This was the best show I have seen in quite some time - I might even say it was the best show I have ever seen. While it is not truly a “Cirque du Soleil” Show it was created by the creative director (Franco Dragone) who created some of the best Cirque Shows (O and others) and he only made this show one of hottest shows to see. I loved the music, all the water (1.5 Million Gallons), the wonderful acrobatics, the hydrolics, and all the fantasy costumes.

Well that is my update on how I am doing and to wrap it up - I broke even - I didn’t loose any weight but I didn’t gain any either.
