here it goes again...

 

...hopefully more realistic this time.

        

my goals for the next 3-4 weeks:

                   *p90x lean workouts on my days off ~ 3-4x/week

                   *log my diet/exercise in the 'lose it' app each day

                   *eat only 1,573 calories per/day

                   *cut back on sweets, only 2-3 cheats per week

                   *go climbing at least 2x/week

Just finished day 2. yippee!

I feel pretty good. sore, very sore but I don't feel like such a slug anymore. 

and why am I doing this again?

many reasons. 

but mainly because I came to the realization that in just 4 short weeks I will be here...

...Cancun! 

and I have to look somewhat decent right?

26 good ones.

my loving family. my supportive friends. my health. freedom. my testimony. my job. my warm house. food. water. my clothes. my car. sunshine. knowledge. flowers. kindness. the mountains. humor. memories. books. love. children. sunsets. life experiences. photographs. vacations. beauty.

I have now reached another big one, the 2-6!
crazy, crazy but I feel very blessed for all that is in my life.
spent the day doing girly things with my mama,
met up with the fam for dinner/dessert,
then more dessert at Gourmandise with the slc crew.

one of the best things is having nieces and nephews. this one turned TWELVE today.

Happy Birthday Cade!

viva las vegas...or not.

 

Vegas weekend trip celebrating a friend's b-day.

highlights: 

staying in a suite on the 41st floor of the Vdara.

 pool time. relaxing in the warm sunshine.

dinner at a cute french bistro over looking the Bellagio water fountains.

going to phantom of the opera.

good conversations with good people.

my epiphany:

aside from the highlights, my hatred for Vegas has grown a hundred times more. 

I've never been a huge fan of that place and was quickly reminded why I never 

like going there. 

dirty. nastiness. smoke. porn everywhere.

not my scene at all.

please oh please remind me to never take a trip there again.

...instead give me my mountains, the beach or a much classier city.
