Labor Day Weekend Recap

Hey Gang!  I know it's been a few days, actually more than a few days, but I went out of town.  So I will just give you a quick update. 

I went to Las Vegas, NV memorial day weekend!  It was so hot, but I had much fun.  Saturday night, My sister and I went to see Sade in Concert at the MGM Grand.  It was a fantastic concert!  I really enjoyed it.  As always, my sister and I did our normal breakfast buffet @ Santa Fe Hotel & Casino, where I consume all the bacon I can possibly eat!  I love bacon! 

We did  a little shopping..shoe shopping that is.  I got 2 new pairs of shoes.  One a wedge sandal, the other is a Madden Girl shoe.  I already have the shoe in Pewter, I bought one in black this weekend.  I absolutely love this Madden Girl shoe.  I bought the Pewter one for a wedding I had in April, and feel in love with it then! 

And the bad stuff....as always my good intentions went astray.  Before I left town, I had planned to still go to spin class while I was in Vegas, and that did not happen!  My parents have a treadmill in the house and I said I would get on that and I didn't!  So I went 4 days with no excercise!  

I got back to Los Angeles yesterday (Tuesday), a little under the weather.  I some how managed to catch a cold.  Not sure how that is possible in 100 degree weather, but it happened!  So after my drive in yesterday, I took some cough medicine and went to bed.  Still feeling a little under the weather..but I will push through. 

One of my Better Days...workouts, small victories, Defect

Well gang..this is one of the better days I have had in a few weeks.  I kinda have alot I want to blog about not sure where to start!

SMALL VICTORIES
I went for a pedicure today.  Today, I was able to fit in the seat with both arms down!  Normally I have to keep on of hte chair arms down cause my hips didn't fit in the chair!

DEFECT
Well I made it to spin class today. First class in about 2 weeks.  As I was on the bike spinning my little heart out.  The pedal broke!  Yes the Pedal broke!  I heard a crack and next thing I knew hte pedal was on the floor!  At first I thought I broke it cause I was too fat, but after talking to my sister, I decided maybe its a defect on the bike!  Either way..it was not a pleasant feeling!

WORKOUTS
I did well today..3 workouts in!

• Spin Class @ 24 Hour Fitness in Hawthorne.  Cindy was late.  But I am liking her as an instructor!

Well gang, Wednesday I was really struggling with getting a workout in.  I kept thinking and saying to myself, I should go workout.  But in all honest, I just didn't feel like it.  I think I am in a workout rut that I quickly need to get myself out of. Help!
