,,,Viva Las Vegas!...

Wednesday, June 26, 2013

Well I just had the pleasure of getting to go to amazing place. The best part was that i was able to go with my girl so it was a GIRLS TRIP! For the past few years, we have been dreaming about going to Vegas. Sooooo about a year ago we made the plans and just decided to do it! We decided to go to Vegas for 3 nights and 4 days.  and that was long enough!!
I will admit...i was sad to go and i wish we had one more day to just sit by the pool and relax! We got to stay at the Luxor hotel It was a very nice hotel!  The rooms were very spacious and clean. the bathroom was HUGE and was perfect for accommodating the 4 of us (tons of counter space and a huge shower). We got there and hit the ground running!
 We went to pool parties, clubs, walked around a little bit, but most of all WE HAD FUN! It was perfect timing because it was right after my most recent competition and it we right before i had to start training for my next competition.  So this allowed me the chance to enjoy some good foods and enjoy a few cocktails.

The term "What happens in Vegas STAYS in Vegas" for sure applies to this trip!!

We didnt do anything bad or anything that we would regret.

It was just a trip for 4 best friends to go and have a good time....and we did!

I can not WAIT to go back and i look forward to the next trip that we all get to take together :-)

If you have never been to Vegas i suggest you go!

It is an amazing time!  You have to be willing to open up and feel free to meet people and just HAVE FUN!

Hump day is here again...

Have you ever wondered WHO came up with the phrase "Hump Day"...

...were they sitting in their kitchen drinking some coffee...reading the paper...and just decided..."Hmmm today is Wednesday.  I think i am going to call it Hump Day!"...LoL

Yea...i always have these kind of random questions floating around in my mind...

Oh Well! Happy Hump Day!! :-) 

This is a pic of my fridge after i go shopping.  I use Sundays as my shop day and food prep day.

I cook ALL of my food for the week and it usually takes me about an hour and a half

I bake a package of chicken...cook a veggie mix...make some whole wheat pasta (or whole wheat rice depending on the week)...cut my fresh fruit...get my salad and the salad veggies cut...and i boil a dozen eggs (i got SO tired of eating scrambled eggs so i just eat the boiled eggs instead)

This is what i usually make but it differs from week to week. 

After MANY attempts...i was finally able to paint my fingernails so they looked nice (and not like a 3 year old did them...LoL)  I never really painted my nails growing up. I was (and i still am) a tom boy...so i do it when i have time and i find a color i actually like

a new favorite snack/meal of mine... flour less protein pancakes! 

They are SO yummy and they are light and i can make a batch and keep them around to snack on or have for breakfast if i wanted.

Look who go an IPad...for FREE!!

I start classes on the 13th and our school is trying an "Apple Initiative" program. 

Our books, notes, lectures notes...everything class related will be digital this year.  

and WE get to try it out to see how it goes.  I am very excited and i am still trying to figure out how to use the darn thing! Stupid apple products are like reading a foreign language for PC ppl!

as the school year is starting to approach consider donating school supplies to local schools and charities!

I know i have! 

I am a BIG couponer and price matcher...so with the money i save on my groceries i will use it to buy school supplies to donate to local drives that are going on in my area. It is always nice to give back to a good cause!

Here is a pic of an average lunch for me. some baked chicken and a small salad with some veggies and water.  It was hard to get my portions right at first but i finally figured it out! and eating every few hours keeps me full so i do not get hungry at all during the day! 

Had a GIRLS NIGHT with my sorority sister a few weeks ago! We went to happy hour at Drunken Fish which was a GREAT idea! Some great HEALTHY options for 1/2 the price!! Not to mention we saw The Dark Night after we ate...such a good movie...i think i am in love with Robin...LoL

 

hope you guys are having a good week! 

Today is Wednesday so that means the weekend it right around the corner! 

I know i am excited!! Going on another float trip!! Probably the last one for the year but we have a BIG group going and i got a new bikini! So excited :-)

Pictures to come soon!
