Vegas Trip In 2 Weeks!!!

[abbeyrd1]

I finally, finally, finally get to go on a vacation with my husband! After our wedding, my graduation from grad school, his college graduation, and two beautiful babies- we are finally going on a vacation together! This is our honeymoon/graduation gifts/ weekend getaway! I am so excited about this trip, but I'm also a little nervous- what happens if I fall off the atkins wagon? I know I won't eat bread, or sugar, or drink margaritas and sugary drinks like that, but what if I drink too many vodka's and club soda? What if I accidentally eat hidden carbs? I'm trying to come up with a game plan- but since I've never been there, I'm kind of lost as far as planning for places to eat. Doing this WOL is giving me my first REAL challenge. I'm excited about taking it on and I know I don't want to undo everything I've worked so hard for.

It will be tricky to find the balance between enjoying my special weekend with my hubby, my first time to Las Vegas, and keeping up with my goals.

Wish me Luck guys!!!!

wow and congrats on getting a much needed getaway. i live close to vegas but i do not get there often. in fact, last summer i met some atkins buddies there and we had a blast, i had been there at christmas the year before and not again til 21 years ago!

it has really changed! there is lots to see and do. you will have a great time. for your food i think it will really be quite easy. i suggest staying away from the buffets and simply order off the menu when you eat out. look at omelets, salads, grilled meats...there are lots of good restaurants there where you can find good, healthy choices

if you are able to pack some treats to take, put some in your suitcase so you have some thing to nibble on if you get the munchies in the night! (altho most places are open all the time!)

have fun and let us know how it goes

Congrats on such an exciting trip. I LOVe Vegas!

It will be a bit tricky to avoid the lovely food they have there. Be careful as your willpower will likely decrease as you get a little buzzed. However they have endless choices so if you try to do your best, you'll be fine!!

Enjoy your vacation!!!!!!

Thanks for the tips guys- I will stay away from buffets and order off the menu as recommended- and I totally forgot about packing snacks- I need to start making my shopping list and stocking up on the good stuff

Congratulations on your getaway! Have a great time! We just got back from vacation and I reccommend bringing some hardboiled eggs. they are easy to keep cool and quick to eat in a snap.
