My trip to Vegas, Week 3 Results

Well it was the best of times...you know the rest. I got to stay at the Venetian resort, which is very nice. All of the rooms were suites, so it had a little separate living room which made reading while dad was napping very convenient. It also had three flat screen TV's, including the one in the bathroom. And why you need a phone in the water closet I'll never understand.












I didn't do horrible with food on my trip. Ate a nice breakfast of eggs, bacon, and potatoes at the airport Thursday morning, and skipped lunch. Dinner was excellent, went to AquaKnox seafood restaurant at Venetian, but very expensive. Bill was $200 for two of us, thankfully the company will be paying. Had a sushi appetizer, lobster bisque soup (which was ok and I didn't finish, little did I know it was $15 for a small bowl), and had the seared tuna for dinner. Two drinks, but not too bad from a diet perspective.

Friday breakfast was a muffin, and lunch at the show was 2/3 of a cheese burger and fries. Not great, but it wasn't too bad. Fri dinner was another story. Dad and I took in a movie, and then I persuaded him to a nice buffet. Online price for the Bellagio buffet was $27, but when we got through the 20min line, it was $39. Ouch. But oh a most excellent spread you have never seen. I'm not going to say it was worth it if I was on my own nickel, but very good. Elk tenderloin, ostrage, Beef Wellington, sushi, Chinese, Mexican, Italian, and more! I had three plates and a desert. Bad, I know.

Sat wasn't bad, skipped breakfast, caught an early flight home and met the family at another buffet. Apparently I was off my diet for the weekend. Sweet Tomatoes isn't the worst place to eat, but I didn't exactly behave.

Anyway, weighted in Sun night at 5lbs down. Not bad, but still could be better. I'm not exercising at all, and need to get back to push-ups, crunches, and the bike. Today is a new week, and going to go hard!

Having a little trouble getting the HTML to look right, so bear with me as I figure out this Blogger thing a little more. Should ask the wife, she is the expert now!
