How not to eat on a daily basis

Hmmm… went to Vegas for a few days and let’s just say my eating habits were sub-par.  But it’s okay because it was the most fabulous vacation ever and I’m actually still laughing out loud (by myself sometimes) thinking of all of the ridiculous fun I had!  Solid vacation indeed.

Exhibit A:

I love nachos–probably more than the average person, in fact–and these were nothing short of spectacular.  But having them numerous times in one day is probably not considered the best way to treat myself.

Exhibit B:

GELATO!!!!!! You know I can’t pass up this fine display.  Funny story, I went for a walk in the mall that our hotel was in (Planet Hollywood) so I could grab some lunch for Jess and I to split at the pool one day.  Came back 2 hours later because I get so darn distracted at places like this.  And I also may have gotten lost….

Regardless, I had some coffee and coconut gelato on my adventure and it was insanely good.  Check out that presentation!

Exhibit C:

Um yeah.  This would be Jessica’s free birthday dessert.  We weren’t about to turn this down.

Exhibit D:

Margaritas galore! I know it’s classic text book to avoid sugary drinks like this… but they’re just too good!  And how can you eat nachos without a good marg, right?  The one above was Cabo Wabo’s House marg–made with agave!

This is the Cactus Pear variety:

And this was a Raspberry one from the Mexican restaurant in our hotel.

yeah.  Believe me there were more, my camera just couldn’t keep up with them all!  I highly recommend Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville–specifically the Mango.

Last but not least…

Exhibit E:

Ah yes, the late night meal.  My eating schedule is so out of whack it’s crazy!  I mean eating at your first meal of the day at happy hour, and then again at 7:00am, I guess I can understand how that would happen.  This is stuffed french toast, by the way.  Yum.

I lived it up like no other during these 5 days and wouldn’t have changed a thing!!!!  That being said, it feels good to be back to normal eating/exercising and I’m planning on signing up for another 1/2 marathon pretty quick so no worries…. my evil twin has definitely NOT taken over my blog.  Normal food pictures resume tomorrow.

Vegas, I love you.
