Anyway, speaking of Vegas...

Thank you for all your comments on yesterdays post. I appreciate all the advice and will take them to heart. I forgot to mention that I'm spending a day at Red Rock Canyon, hopefully getting in some hikes, but I'm for sure gonna be doing this:

But on a much lesser, faker, safer scale:

Oh yes, have my appointment set and will be sure to come back home with tons of pictures. Because I'm gonna do this, my PT sessions have been focusing on my lats and back muscles... nothing overly extensive as far as the workout goes, but doing lots of pull-ups, lat pull-downs, and dumbbell rows so I won't be too sore from climbing.

On another note still related to Vegas, I have this really cute dress I bought and I WANT TO WEAR IT, DAMN IT!! Although it fits and everything zippers up, it doesn't fit real comfortable... not too much breathing room. So welcome to crunch time! I have exactly 17 days from today to get into the best shape possible and I'm gonna do it! Anyone who cares to join me can go right ahead.

Eating will be stellar, but on the lower calorie, less carb side. I'll be following a fat-burner eating plan from one of the Beachbody programs, Power 90. Although it's a 6-day food plan, I'm gonna alter it a little by bringing up the calories so I can make it last 17 days. My workouts are going to be mostly cardio based and much less intense (think brisk walks, hiking, hill climbs, etc.) because of the lower calorie intake. Later today I'll post the details of my eats for the next couple of days.

Wish me luck!
