Las Vegas to San Francisco

Wow deal! Right now you can book a flight to San Fran for $119 round trip. I so wish I had money for this right now. I absolutely LOVE SF! We had such a blast when we went last year for Labor day. We stayed in this little (and when I saw little, I mean little) hotel in Chinatown where every morning we would wake up to some sort of asian violin sounding instrument. We took the bus and cable cars every where and ate lots of delicious food. I mean, of course being the foodies we are we researched all the great food spots from the food and travel channel. Sigh. Anyway, here is the deal if you want to take a last minute trip. Ask me for recommendations.

Sick & blogging

Hi there! Thought I'd just update my friends & family on my oh so wonderful life :)
I am at home right now, in bed sick with a viral infection. Actually, I am feeling a lot better today that I have the past 2 days. Yesterday was the worst. I was at work, wearing two sweaters, wit my portable heater on and I was literally shivering. My whole body was aching and I was feeling nauseous. I left work early and drove to my parents house without the a/c on and it felt good. For those of you who live in Las Vegas, you know why it's a big deal that I mention that. I took a nap until my doctors appointment and when I woke up I was sweating like I just ran a marathon! I had a temperature of 101.6. The doctor could hear my stomach rumbling and gave me an anti-viral medication that I started last night. Along with doing the whole switch-a-roo with tylenol & ibuprofen for my fever & lots of gatorade, I've been feeling a lot better today.
Happy to say I've lost 2 lbs since I've been sick, lol. Juuuuuust kidding. Definitely not the way I want to lose weight. But my weight-loss has hit a plateau and this week I was supposed to be tracking and measuring everything I ate and take to my weight watchers leader so we could see where I was going wrong. However, due to my sickness that will have to wait until next week. I am still down 8 pounds and my goal is to continue to lose 3 lbs per month until March 2012 and I will be at my final goal! I am very excited about that! I love this process because I am learning so much about portion control and how important it is to watch what you're putting in your body. And I am loving working out again. When I started working out at age 20 I really enjoyed it then when I got married I dreaded it. But I am back to loving it again. I love my turbofire & I am training myself to become a turbokick instructor in November. I can't wait. A little nervous, though.
I also want to train to run a half marathon in December here in Las Vegas. I've done a 5k before and now I want to take another step. Only one thing....I have no idea how to train. I don't know much about running. WHat kind of shoes do I wear? What's the best clothing? When's the best part of the day? How do I stretch? I need help on these things. Hopefully i can find a running partner.
Anywway, that's a little update on me. I wish I had time to blog everyday. I have a lot of thoughts I could share. And if you know me, that could be good or bad :)
See ya soon!
