Vegas while on my DietBets? Yep, I'm crazy!

Vegas doesn't have to be a diet disaster. First of all you do so much walking, you'll easily get 10K steps in -- When I went there for my brothers wedding I actually averaged something like 20k steps per day. Also, the restaurants aren't as bad as all that. Yes, there are a lot of buffets, but if you know where to go (and yelp makes this easy), you can easily find healthy options. I'm a low carb dieter, so the rules with me are always the same - double the vegetables, banish the starch. There is a great hotel only a block off the center of the strip (right next to the miracle mile) that gives great service and will only charge 20 or so dollars a night for a suite upgrade (and the rooms are pretty cheap to begin with), which comes with a fully modern kitchen. The hotel is called the carriage house and is worth looking into, if not for this trip, than the next. When my fiancé (now husband) went there for a vacation last year, we upgraded to the suite and were so happy with it. The place also had a fitness center, which I actually managed to use. We ended up buying breakfast and lunch ingredients for the week and only having dinners out. By the way, I recommend Hugo's Cellar on the old strip for one special dinner. Its like a very romantic time warp.

Have a great trip! Can't wait to hear about it!

Sodium is so, so sneaky. I just started tracking it in the paid version of LoseIt, and whoa! Those milligrams add up FAST.

Yes - definitely up that water and you will feel better in a couple of days! It sounds to me like you did great with all that potential temptation...I feel tempted like that every time I walk into Costco, what with all the samples there on a Saturday afternoon! Oh, and as for Vegas - consider me so very, very jealous! I can't wait to read that post!

Planning ahead is key! I love how you were flexible with your plan though and didn't go overboard with the food at the event. The ticket system probably helped a little with that. Good luck out of town. Keep your plan flexible, but stick to it. You can make it! Have fun, but stay accountable. :)
