National Sales Meeting Week

So I left yesterday for our national sales meeting here in Las Vegas. I was able to hit the bike at the gym hard to jump start my week (13 miles in 35 minutes averaging 22mph) and walked 1.2 miles to dinner. I had a chicken salad for dinner knowing that less health choices await me the rest of the week.
I hope to jog/run early in the mornings with a buddy but they have our schedule very full for this meeting. My personal feeling is that they want to keep us busy so those that are more inclined won't do anything stupid and get themselves in trouble. I'm not in that group. I have too much at stake and too much to lose if I act like an ass. Anyway, my plan was also to take the stairs as much as I can. This is no easy task it appears. The stairs down on the main levels are difficult to find and the stairways on the room levels are hundreds of yards down the hall. To make it worse, I'm on the 22nd floor! I will take the stairs at least once per day assuming I can find them. We'll see how I feel after my first 22 story climb. Who knows, I may take an extra trip up and down just for the workout. The "health club" here at the hotel is $25 for 2 days which I find ridiculous (I may try to sneak in though).

As promised, my starting weight for the week was 178.2 the day I left. It will be interesting to see if I can keep that number within sight.

UPDATE: Took the stairs tonight, 18 floors, it felt great! I think I will do a 30 minute session tomorrow morning to see how it goes (I may just have found my workout dilemma's answer).
