Viva Las Vegas

After three weeks on a very strict diet, you would think that a visit to Sin City would entail going off the deep end - gorging ourselves at the buffets and guzzling martinis at the bars. Instead, we were surprisingly good. We brought along healthy snacks for the drive, skipped big meals for better alternatives, and didn't drink nearly as much as we would have otherwise. Heck, we were even asleep early both nights!

Do I feel like I failed? Absolutely not. I believe this Experience is learning about choices. Making healthy choices. Early on I really missed my bread, cheese, diet Mt. Dew and wine. Now, it's not that big of a deal to skip them. After committing to the 30 days, I thought I was going to be DONE! Now, I'm almost looking forward to being a little less strict and moving on to the next 30 days. Much like a vacation gets you rejuvenated for work, this little break has me inspired to continue my progress.
