The Best Kind of Cardio
Hi guys! How’s your day been?
Ours has been pretty much glorious after sleeping in, finding our way to a brunch feast and shopping- the best kind of cardio 🙂
We decided to eat at the Canyon Ranch Grill at the Venetian because I’m a friend of Canyon Ranch (my little bro is a chef at one of their resorts) and knew we’d be able to find sometime good for our nutritional preferences (Ashley is Celiac and I’m weird quasitarian).
I ordered the 3 egg white omelet with no cheese, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, onions, spinach and tomato. It came with a sweet potato hash, fresh berries and the server also brought us some jicama and mango salad.
I also chugged a fresh and beautiful orange juice 😀
It was the perfect fuel for Vegas shopstravaganza 2010.
At Caesar’s Palace:
and Fashion Show
We did it up pretty strong 😀
Caffeine buzzzzzzz
(I’m not sure which one it is.. it was one of the ones we tasted and it was ahhhmazin)
We walked so. much. today. and covered the entire Strip a couple of times 😉
There’s so much to see here.. even if you’re not actually *doing* something. It’s just a blasty to walk around, sight see and people-watch.
When we got back to our Austin Powers hotel, we couldn’t eat our Raw Food Bars fast enough.
Then we did a 20-minute cardio abs Insanity DVD. We were supposed to do the 40 minute pure cardio + cardio abs, but on hungry bellies and tired legs we decided not to. The 20 minute sesh was perfect 😉
Now, we’re getting ready to see those very important people I’ve been telling you about….
Our husbands!!!
They’ve been stationed here for a TDY (temporary deployment) for the past 3 weeks!!! So we came over to Vegas to party with them this weekend since we missed them so much.
It’s party time 😀
See ya tomorrow!

That is so sweet! I would miss my hubby so much 🙁
That’s so adorable! Glad you got to see your love in Vegas! Can’t wait for a recap!
That omelet looks amazing 🙂 Hope you have a great time with the husbands!
TDY means temporay duty not temporary deployment.
hahah i’m really up on the acronyms, can you tell? 😉
The military uses probably MILLIONS! it gets insane 🙂
hahah seriously. the pilot has to stop and tell me what each acronym is everytime he’s telling me something important 😉 i still forget though!
That is so sweet! It sounds like you’re having a blast!!
I’ve never been to Vegas, but it looks ahhh-mazing! Have fun! 🙂
oh so cute!! I’m sorry they have been away, but I love that this is what your important people visit was for. 🙂
Aww what a fun day! Metting the hubs is way better than any of the other people going though my head! Hope you are having a blasty!
wow, 3 weeks?!?! that’s crazy! hope you guys had an absolute blast 🙂
Aww have fun with your hubbies! I was wondering where the pilot was, haha 🙂 Not too shabby a place to be assigned for work!! 😉
Aww girl have great time with your hubby!!! Party it up 😉
Yay! I’m so glad you get to spend the weekend with your husband! Enjoy!
Aw, that’s cute. Enjoy the day with your husband!
That is a very important person for sure! 🙂 Have fun!!! I’ve never tried that restaurant before….have to give it a try the next time I’m there!
Does Ashley have a blog? She sounds like my kind of Celiac 🙂 I’d love to hear her thoughts on the gluten-free diet.
no she doesnt! she works a lot- she’s an esthetician (sp?) and teaches pilates
When I read the title of this post I thought you were referring to sex. Sorry, it’s just me then…carry on…
heh heh. that’s the REAL best kind of cardio 😉
The Vegas pictures are making me jealous, sista.
Zumba rocked my world, and I thought about you the whole time! The teacher was very Gina-esque…but blonde! So much fun!
Hope you live it up in Vegas!!!! Get wild. 😉
hahah i’ll make you proud buddy 🙂
glad you loved zumba!
Shopping is the best cardio- and not even necessarily because you get great things from your exercise, but also because you’re so distracted you don’t feel like you’re exercising. It’s all talking and looking and being distracted, so doing short, intense workouts before or after is so perfect.
Glad you’re having such a great time in Vegas!
Shopping is so much fun! I wish I had more money so i could get that cardio in!
