Have mat, will travel
My pretty well-rounded salad from the MGM buffet salad bar, which I munched on Friday afternoon.
I stole that headline from a friend. But I love it. So I had to use it.
I don’t believe I announced to my readers about my trip to Vegas this weekend. Though between my Facebook friends and fellow Challengers and my mom I think I got my readers covered.
Curt and I have made it a tradition to come to Vegas for the first weekend of March Madness. Our friends Jen and Dave have joined us for the past three years.
I decided for this long weekend that I would eat and drink whatever I wanted and tomorrow I would get back to my healthy lifestyle.
(Next week is going to present some major challenges with a planned co-worker lunch and two evening farewell drink and food fests for my boss who is about to retire.)
I hit the gym every morning this weekend, doing cardio and focusing on the push-up challenge. Damn, my shoulders, arms and upper abs are sore!
My travel yoga mat came with me but wasn’t utilized this weekend.
I also made sure to get my greens pretty regularly as well.
Getting greens in was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be.
I have done well with my water intake. Not every meal was a caloric disaster. Oatmeal for breakfasts, lots of greens.
Of course, there were many beers and drinks.
Many times when I travel my exercise clothes never leave my suitcase. This time around they came out four times. I also brought my travel yoga mat. And that one did not leave my backpack.
(I didn’t have enough room in the suitcase so I shoved it in my backpack, which is pretty amazing that it fit in my backpack.)
