He he he Brit I know kiddies cost the large. But babies are oh so cute!

Nt hmmm we are staying at the Excalibur or Imperial palace I cant remember. As for the tickets we got the most expensive ones.

(thanks to Steve) The cost for all tickets is around $1200. It a once in a life time thing, so why not eh?

naturaltan · 08-19-2004, 03:51 PM

the Excalibur is a great place. We stayed there for the beginning of our 7 day stay. I think we were there for 4 days. We found it to be reasonably priced (in comparison to the Luxor - which was twice the cost) and was just as nice.

I would suggest bringing binoculars when you go. We had row f (6 rows up) and had a very difficult time seeing the stage. There were many seats on the floor for competitors/coaches/family/friends of competitors that made row 6 seem really far away.

fantasma62 · 08-19-2004, 04:02 PM

As much as I like the Excalibur, we stayed last year at the Aladdin. We like the middle strip hotels better...Luxor is nice, but a little strange....

Have fun!!

Jill · 08-19-2004, 04:20 PM

Wow this forum is rockin today, and Im not even at work, darn!

HOLY YUCKFAY $1200!!! Yeesh. Mind you now that I think of it, I think mine were about $550 and that's just for me. Where are you guys sitting? I'm in section 114 row C I think. I am probably going to stay at the Luxor... hmmm, I see fantasma says it's a little strange... probably be right up my alley! lol

As for babies being cute it's a thing you get over once you've had kids... don't get me wrong, I love kids and mine are great but the older they get the more I enjoy them and babies have absolutely NO appeal to me anymore... I can look and go 'ah cute' but god forbid ever having to look after one again!

lol

My kids are 9 and 7 now and have picked up the fine art of sarcasm, the things they come out with are hilarious!

atherjen · 08-19-2004, 05:54 PM

1200$

ohhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyy! I cant even imagine! Jilly take pics at the Excalibur for me!

Jill · 08-19-2004, 05:59 PM

I know Brit, they are only babies for a few years.

WOW!! I just checked my tickets, we are in L114 section G seat 8: L114 section B seat 2: AND L114 section R seat 7. Maybe we can meet!

I am really excited to go to the expo too-I heard there are a lot of neat samples and stuff. I am most excited to shop-we are going to rent a car and spend lotsa $$$ on clothes!!! Yipppppppeeee! Brit, since you are newer here, I am a shop-o-holic, for real.

Jill · 08-19-2004, 06:00 PM

I think its the imperial palace, our hotel. Not the greastest but hey, its free! Cant find my internet papers.

Too cool, just checked mine to make sure... L114 C12/H6 for the different events. We should definately hook up. I am totally looking forward to the expo too... and the fact that my husband isn't coming with me means he won't know how much I spend!

You shop like my wife.

Jenny · 08-21-2004, 08:02 AM

Hey Jillsan!

Mmm, pizza! I had a cheat meal last night too, though I didn't enjoy mine. My roomies were cooking Alfredo pasta and I felt like I HAD to eat it to make em like me

Looks like you're doing well, how's the bod feeling?

Jill · 08-21-2004, 12:39 PM

Im feeling pretty good Jenny.

I havent been AS strict lately, so I need to get back on track NOW. Ive been having a cheat every 4-5 days, weight goes up (water) and then when the water comes off, I have a cheat again. Back on track and no cheats for a while now. I guess I have been maintaing more than anything. I really wanna BULK, yes, but I want to be leaner for my trips in Oct and Jan, so I havent really decided what to do. I may do a mini bulk from Jan 15 for a few months.

Did cardio and abbies this am. Day off no work, pouring rain. Steve and I did a rain dance cause we need the rain for our grass, and it worked!!!

Going shopping right away-bedroom stuff and groceries! WHat else do I do on my days off besides eat, clean, train and shop???

The story of my life

atherjen · 08-21-2004, 12:46 PM

Bulk?

how come? I thought you wanted more weight loss and not a bunch of muscle? ..........maybe Ive missed something?

greekblondechic · 08-21-2004, 01:25 PM

That's funny because I too have recently started thinking "stop being scared of muscle, yeah your legs will get huge but at least you wont be fat"

But i still don't want to bulk, am just doing more weights!

sara · 08-21-2004, 07:57 PM

Mini bulk? just don't fear the water gain during the mini bulk

Jill · 08-21-2004, 08:36 PM

Mini bulk....Yes AJ you heard right. Probably next year. I would like to add a bit more size. I dont know for sure though

Jill · 08-21-2004, 08:41 PM

08/21

Meal 1: Protein
Meal 2: 1/2C oats, protein, 2 ew's, 1T cottage cheese, sf jam, 1/4C blueberries
Meal 3: Bagel with turkey breast

Meal 4: Ext lean beef, peppers, lettuce, reg marble cheese, sf ff pudding

Snacks: Frozen blueberries, my new addiction.

Training: Rest.... ya right!
Cardio: 55mins, abbies

For some reason today I just ate whatever! No measuring really, I know I ate a hell of a lot of beef, it was this concoction I made, real yummy. Back to 'dieting' tomorrow, I sware. Oh, and I deff wont be stepping on the scale tomorrow!

sara · 08-21-2004, 11:32 PM

What kind bagel?

Hey Jill!
It's good that you're not beating yourself up as much when you cheat, but every 4-5 days might be a little too often. As you said, for maintaining it might be okay, but if you want to be leaner it might not be a great idea

I've had periods of times when I've thought about bulks too, but I really don't think I'd be able to handle it mentally.
Have a good Sunday!

Jill · 08-22-2004, 07:24 AM

Hey J! I know I havent been as strict....too many cheats to often to get to my goal, so STeve and I both put our 'feet' down today!!

We are in this together.

Actually, Steve is trying to cut so it makes things easier. We actually took a pic of him yesterday, compared to 4-5 months ago, and his teeny weeny 'gut' is gone and his abbies are starting to show!! Im proud of him.

Sara, it was an 'everything' bagle....Yumm! I put turkey breast and mustard in side it-actually I scooped out most of the inside of my bagel with my finger.

Oh, and weird thig is I weigh less this am.
