A successful trip!

Oct 06, 2009

Well our camping/vegas trip went well. We spent a week camping out in the desert and I think I did well getting hydrated, vits, and protein in. I had myself tested before we left for our trip and found out that all my efforts to hydrate was working. I was only low on B and D, so I went and got a liquid/ sublingual B complex and a calcuim with extra D to add to what I have already been taking. I also got a B shot before I left and I am due to go back and get another shot every week till my levels are back to normal.

When camping out in the desert it is hard to eat right, so I was very proud that I was able to keep up my vits, protien and water levels. I even started pushing my liquid B, vits, and protien on my camp mates when they started to complain about being tried and run down. They loved it. I think they never thought to bring vits and protien to help counteract all the partying.

I had an RV so if the need for a bathroom came on I had it right there. I wasn't about to go walking two blocks in the middle of the night or early morning just to use the bathroom. I do have to admit the there wasn't a lot of peeing going on. I was drink a gallon and a half a day and still only peeing about a 1/2 a cup, even in Vegas. Once we got to Vegas it was about a cup worth. I am now back to normal. Man is it hard to keep hydrated in NV.

As for the eating situation I am able to pretty much eat whatever I want, but tomato. I am not able to have any kind of tomato sauce without some serious bathroom issues. I call them butt facials, because they leave my butt feeling silky soft, even if it burns coming out. "oil slicks" What is it in tomatos???

We went to the TOP OF the WORLD restaurant at the Stratosphere Tower Las Vegas. We go every year for our anniversary because we love the food and the view! We shared a Filet Mignon! I like mine a little more cooked than my husband does so we cut the edges off his for me. It was delicious! They always give a desert to people who are celebrating, so we had one. They have new deserts that are tiny bite size trios, so I was able to have half of the chocolate turtle one and my husband had the rest.

I also had pork potstickers off the Monti Carlo room service menu one night which were amazing! Tastey, with ginger and pork in side theses tiny bite size dumplings. OOH and we love the Grand Lux at the Venetian Hotel!! The Menu I couldn't resist having the...

Pasta Carbonara
A classic Italian favorite. Spaghettini in a butter cream sauce with a touch of white wine, applewood smoked bacon, peas, garlic, romano and parmesan cheeses.

and my husband had...

Short Rib Sloppy Joe
A Sloppy Joe made with Premium Short Ribs and Certified Angus Ground Beef on a Butter-Grilled New England Style Bun. Served with Fries.

then I remembered that we had something that we loved last year so I asked for the menu and found it and order it as well.

Double Stuffed Potato Spring Rolls^®
Creamy Mashed Potatoes with a Touch of Green Onion, Rolled in Crispy Asian Wrappers Topped with Melted Cheddar, Applewood Smoked Bacon and
Green Onion. Served with Sour Cream

We knew we wouldn't beable to eat it, but I was like I am going to take it home. I will take it on the plane and eat it when we get home the next day! Which we did! We saved the leftovers from our dinners and the potato spring rolls and flew with them home and I eat the rest of my husband's and he eat mine. SOOO good! 

Sorry about the food orgy!!

We also went to see the Peep Show starring Holly Madison (from the girls nextdoor)!  It was really good, I wasn't expecting it to be but it was! It had a really great male singer in it. WOW his voice was amazing. It had up to date music in it and a good story line, good laughs, and bare boobies.

All in all it was a great trip with few problems. I have now tested myself to a point where I think I can pretty much go anywhere and do anything without any problems. I mean a five hour flight there and back as well as camping in the desert with no feeling of OMG I need to a bathroom now. So far so good. I am not saying that I am back to normal but I do know when and what to eat to make it so I can take long trips without  feeling scared I might need to stink out the whole airplane! Which was my main worry when we started out on this trip.

I have excepted my alter ego, which I call farty Mc farterton from Farts ville USA! Yes I do eat more carbs than I should, but who can help eating carbs on vacation/anniversary? I am still losing at a good rate. I lost 9 pounds in 15 days while on this trip. Altogether in three months I am down 60lbs, I think that is good. Do you?
