Vegas baby!!!

Vegas was a blast!! We got there Wednesday night and stayed until Sunday morning! The first 2 nights we stayed at MGM resort then the last 2 we stayed at a holiday inn express off the strip. It was so hot right as you walked outside your back is already drenched in sweat...

The first night we just walked around the hotel a bit and got some dinner then Went right to bed we were pooped!!

Next morning we got up and went shopping for a bit and later that eve ing we went and saw the show KA that plays at the MGM. it was a pretty good show..

Friday Sam's friends Tyson & Matt arrived with their wives Danielle and kailey. We met them at the outlets and shopped around awhile then made our way to the mall on the strip. We mostly just walked around the rest of the night.. We are party poopers!

Saturday was Kaileys birthday so we decided to go to the wax museum that afternoon then we went back and got ready and went to the buffet at Mandalay bay which was soo good but I ate toooooo much!! The. After we went and saw the show Mystere at treasure island. Sam and I saw this show last year and loved it! It was just as good the second time as the first. Must see show.

It was so nice to get out with the hubby and spend time together and with great friends .

Picture time!!!

On the way to Vegas.....

Turquoise to gold!

Ok so I did this a while back but I'm just now finally getting my pictures from my camera onto my computer!!

I had these two stole type of things that I'm sure you have seen before here in blog land. The blue paint had been chipping so I decided to paint these puppies white but saw this gold and decided to go for it!! I love how they turned out!

Body for life baby!!!

So tomorrow I will be starting a new "healthy eating" program. It is called body for life. I was going to start it a few years ago but just never did and I bought the book and decided I'd grab it and read it on our way to Vegas. Well I got really Into it and it's pretty similar to what I have been eating but just a few changes.. And iv actually got to work out!! Iv been so horrible with working out but when I do I feel so good!! So this is like a 12 week program and I decided I'm going to post all my progress on here. I'm hoping if I post my measurements and weight with pictures it will help push me. I really am terrified of posting pictures of my gut on here but oh well... It won't look like this for long!

Iv made a little template of what I'll post each week with my progress (or no progress)




As you can see I added an "other" on my menu list... This diet let's you have mini cheats. Not too many and not every day!
