Back to work

I had an all right weekend in Vegas. Vegas I'm sure is more fun to go to when it's for fun than when it's for work. I did get to eat some yummy food though. Of course I basically stuck to my clean eating during the day as much as I could. However, at night, those were my yummy meals.

On the first night I had pork tenderloin in a pineapple mole sauce with some apricots and a pineapple tamal. Wow! It was surprisingly good and not too sweet. The mole was actually quite spicy with a hint of sweet from the apricots on top. And the tamal was really good!

The second night I got to go to my favorite place in Henderson called Todd's Unique Dining. It was so wonderful as usual. We ordered the Goat Cheese Wontons with Raspberry Basil Sauce. Delicious and beautiful presentation. I ordered the house salad and my friend ordered the Caesars. Also tasty. My main course was the Skirt Steak on Fire served with Chile Cheese Fries. OMG! This is the best thing ever for anyone who enjoys spicy. Loved it! The meat is ridiculously tender and cooked to perfection and the chile fries are like nothing you've ever tasted. Sooooo tasty!

Today I'm back to my usual work and working out. I actually went to work out last night after I returned from Vegas. So, I'm really dedicated right now! Good for me. I did Day 1 of the Half Day and today I did Day 2 and then 20 minutes HIIT on the elliptical. Hard but good. I enjoyed. Ate well today and enjoyed my meals. I'm trying a few different foods adding them back in. I did have a chocolate strawberry protein shake post workout that rocked. I put extra cocoa powder in and it was really good.

Tomorrow I will finally have time to go shopping. Look out Trader Joe's! Here I come.

Have a great evening and remember to enjoy life! See you in the morning.
