I am so excited! I was planning on working and working out a little while I was in scottsdale BUT all I ever do is work and workout! Soooo, I am so far just taking it easy. The week preceeding this trip was sooooo hectic! 1st with my photoshoots and then all the work that I had on top of grueling workouts and the brutal temps in Las Vegas! I was just completely depleted by the time this trip rolled around. I packed super light (I usually don't travel anywhere unless I can plan to shoot or work which require bringing so many extra bags!) and took off on July 4th of all days, lol. Not without getting a pedicure before the trip ;o)

It takes about 5 hours or so from Las Vegas to get to Scottsdale...everyone has been asking me why the hell I chose a place that is hotter than LV! Lol, but I have friends here and the resort I usually stay at is super relaxing and takes great care of me. Plus anywhere else is too far and I wouldn't have time in between working to make time...and I need to be able to bring my pooch! Baby is never left behind ;o)

| Unbelievable! |
Of course I am taking plenty of pics for you guys! The candids will be posted within the next month or so...I was being my usual goofball self and taking topless pics of myself on the road while flashing passer bys! There were so many cops on the road though, so it was a bit risky...lol!

Once we arrived I was STARVING! So we checked into the hotel and went to one of my favorite Scottsdale YUM spots, its called Culinary Dropout. The owner of this restuarant concept owns many other cool restuarants and I intend to try them all while I am here, lol! Yes, its that good. As you all know, I am a maniac when it comes to the gym, eating healthy, counting calories and am a bit nuerotic about it all really. I am making a concious decision this week not to be that way. I'm not saying that I am going to throw all caution to the wind and eat 3,000 cals per day, lol...but I am going to allow myself a glass of wine or two and some yummy food without feeling too guilty (old habits die hard).

| My 1st vacay meal! Sweet corn Cannellini with white asparagus |
MMMM, that was so tasty! For the appetizer I had homemade kettle chips with homemade sour cream & onion dip! WOW...it was yummy! I did wake up this am wanting to workout but with 13% body fat (the average healthy woman is between 18-25%) I can afford to take some days off...for those of you that are into health & fitness, you know that our bodies need at least a week of a break per year....so I guess this will be my half week! Lol...Well now I am off to get ready for dinner with the lovely Rachel Aziani....Like I said, I'll post all pics soon!
