So I could tell you MANY things about Blissdom. Like how we got to tour his studios:
Or how I sat in the back with some fabulous ladies and listened to him croon.
Or about how marvelous the hotel was . . .
But since we’re talking about being Buff on a Budget today, I’m going to talk about one of my MAJOR fitness downfalls. If you haven’t noticed, I. love. free. stuff. I mean really, really LOVE free stuff. And so Blissdom was a challenge because there was always plenty of free stuff to be had. Free beverages, free food, free free free.
I was so strong the first night. Withheld from FOUR free beverage passes. We’re not talking water people. We’re talking high calorie, oh so yummy, beverages. Didn’t have any white bread. Stayed strong through 2 fabulous cocktail parties. I splurged on tiramisu at lunch on Friday prepared by Hunts. The main dish was a little indulgent too but overall, I was still holding the course. By the end of Friday night, though . . . when we were watching Harry. I just gave up. Anything went. And it was good. And it resulted in me ordering this after the show.
Thanks to the Fabulous Lady Jenny of Mommin’ It Up for the Photographic Evidence.
I didn’t eat both of them. Only one. But still.
And I got sick with a crazy cough/runny nose/nastiness while I was there so I didn’t work out. And that also includes when I got home on Sunday and yesterday, too. And I was pretty afraid of getting on the Wii Fit today to do my body test but I did. I had to wake my little Wii Mii up. She was sawing some serious logs. And believe it or not, I actually decreased the poundage while at Blissdom. Maybe it was the miles I had to walk through the hotel? That place was huge. Maybe it was avoiding the slightly scary Tea Party people roaming the halls? (I’m not Anti-Tea Party, but some of those folks were um, *interesting.* And the one who asked me if I had my crown on for the Tea Party apparently didn’t know American History/realize that the Queen wasn’t invited to the Tea Party even though it might have been in her honor). I don’t know. But I’ll take it. And I’m officially back on the horse today.
