143.8…On The Road Again

Ugh…we just got home from Vegas. There was SO much traffic! It only took us 4 1/2 hours to get there on Saturday and almost 6 to get home today. Boo!

Yesterday we met a friend at Grand Lux Cafe in the Palazzo Hotel for lunch. We all split the spinach artichoke dip. Why is that stuff so good!?!

I ordered the lunch pizza and salad:

After lunch I went shopping at the Palazzo and Venetian hotels. Not too much to report on except a couple pairs of cheap sunglasses. :)

I met my husband back at our hotel, The Cosmopolitan, for some gambling. Then it was time to head to the sports book to watch some Monday Night Football. We ordered a slice of pizza and wings. I just ate two of the wings….I didn’t want to ruin my dinner.

While we were watching the game, a guy walked into the sports book wearing a robe, slippers, sunglasses on his head and was carrying a bottle of tequila.

Only in Las Vegas.

We went back to our room and some of our friends came up to join us for a drink. An awesome thing about the Cosmopolitan hotel is the balconies! Check out our view of the Bellagio water show:

Of the strip:

Then it was time to go to dinner. Here is the dress I bought the other day:

We walked over to Mastro’s Ocean Club for dinner.

The restaurant has a special “outdoor” section that looks so cool:

It almost looks like a space ship. We got to eat inside the “space ship.” Pretty cool!

I enjoyed a glass of wine:

And we all shared a huge seafood tower:

They even lit it up:

Fancy Schmancy!

I split a bone-in Filet Mignon with my husband and had some creamed spinach.

It was aaaaaamazing!

We all shared a chocolate lava cake for dessert:

I was so full when I left there….good thing that was all we were doing. I barely wobbled home. :)

This morning I grabbed another iced latte from downstairs. This time I went with the Irish cream flavor. Eh. I liked the English toffee better.

I also bought a yogurt parfait.

We got packed up and hit the road for home. I already knew what I wanted for lunch.

Chipotle!!! I’m now addicted!

I miss Vegas but I’m glad to be home. I missed the kids and am ready to get back to my healthy eats!

Have any healthy goals this week? Me: get back into the gym and watch my calories. I brought my gym clothes to Vegas…too bad I never worked out. Oh well.
