Ok, so I’ve been a total blog slacker lately, but it’s not like I don’t have a ton of excuses why. I could say that I was sick, or that we’ve traveled a lot, or that schoolwork is really intense this semester, but none of those excuses are good enough. I just haven’t made time for my blog or myself much lately. So, this may be a long-winded blog (or blogs), but at least I’m updating.
Since my last blog, we have traveled to our first WVU game of the season. In case you didn’t know, in this family we bleed gold and blue. We traveled to Huntington, WV to see the Mountaineers take on the Thundering Herd, and I have to say that the last m8 minutes of the game were great! (The other minutes – not so much!) Here is a picture of me supporting the ‘Eers!
The best part of the trip was the little mini vacation we had at the new Mardi Gras Resort and Casino in Cross Lanes. The hotel is pretty fabulous, and we got a really great rate for the football game. The bed was like a cloud and you just melted in to it. It was so hard to get up in the morning, so we just lounged all day. The room was large and had some great amenities.
The lobby is pristine, beautiful, and full of bright colors. This hotel is completely brand new, so it still had the new, clean smell associated with it. OH, AND IT’S COMPLETELY NON-SMOKING – EVEN THE CASINO. In case you can’t tell, I LOVE this aspect of the property. There was a salt-water pool and hot tub, and the padded loungers were great to relax the day away.
I’m gonna let you know that I am no good at the gambling. In fact, my allotted $5 gambling money went faster than I could read this blog. And I even played penny slots! I’m horrible with those things, but it was a fun experience.
During our stay, I will say that we fell off of the diet and exercise bandwagon. We ate very unhealthy, and I definitely could tell a huge difference in the way I felt. I felt very lazy and lethargic, and I could feel how heavy the food was. Although it was extremely tasty, I couldn’t eat any more than half of any meal we consumed. I know that my body was adjusting to the new diet and exercise plan, and this trip set us back on our progress.
Until next time, I leave you with a quote from David Viscott: “You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be.”
