This was the view I woke up to on Wednesday morning. The clouds were heavy in the sky and everything was so peaceful and quite. I put on my running shoes and took a little jog down Las Vegas boulevard. Apparently I wasn’t the only one with the same agenda. If you are ever in Vegas, make sure to run early in the morning if you’re going to do it on the strip.
After getting cleaned up and ready for the day, I headed down to see Jeremy’s parents. Jeremy was still sleeping because his poker tournament took everything out of him.
We had breakfast at our hotel cafe. It was delicious!
I ordered the egg white omelet with sautéed onions and peppers with whole wheat toast and a bowl of fresh fruit instead of potatoes.
After breakfast, Cindy and I spent the day together. We did lots of shopping!
Later in the night, we all headed further down the strip to the Stratosphere. It has the best view in Vegas! The Ghost bar at the Palms has a great view, too.
Jeremy’s dad has an obsession with buffets. Whenever we ask what he wants to eat…it’s always the buffet!
We ended up having dinner at the Stratosphere. I don’t mind buffets as I said before. I can always eat healthy and moderately unhealthy. Â Plus, the buffet’s in Vegas are different than your average hometown buffets. They have all kinds of cuisines and are prepared by professional chefs.
My first plate had salad, sushi, salmon, fruit, some kind of pastas, and corn salad.
My second plate had Chinese stir fry chicken, pasta crab salad, fruit, salad, lo mein, and a couple random foods.
After dinner, we headed back to the hotel and hung out there!

My dad is just like Jeremy’s dad, he always wants to eat at buffets. When I first tried to change my lifestyle I would get intimidated by buffets because I always felt like I was eating unhealthy. Now after sometime, i have realized that I can go to a buffet and still eat fairly healthy.

Hi Tara,
I’m so glad I found your blog two years ago. Thanks to your great food ideas and encouragement, I’ve lost over 40 pounds and excercise regularly. You are an inspiration. Keep up the wonderful work!
