Recently I joined the TruFusion cult of awesomeness for the weekly Yin Yoga Sound baths and Heated Core Pilates. It’s the perfect complement to weight training at Lifetime Fitness. This week I setup in the front row against the mirrors and finished my hardest heated mat pilates to date. Down 48lbs so far with ~7lbs left to go, I almost broke down. It’s taken over a year of painful sacrifices and consistency to create this reality. My inner child was screaming with joy from not only what I was able to do, but how far I could take this. With only few breaks to wipe my face, chug water, and kneel in a pool of sweat I couldn’t believe it. What did I think of after? A chest meal of epic proportions.
One of my favorite cheat meals is a juicy rare burger with extra cheese. One of my favorites in town exists at the legendary Holsteins ( @holsteinslv ) now in the arts district. Being from Chicago I had to take down their best in class Golden Cheese Curds with ranch dressing, and of course and I had to try the Thicker than a Snicker [ Peanut Butter, Orange Frosting, Crushed Peanuts, Snickers, Reeses Pieces, Chocolate Pocky Sticks, Caramel Sauce ] with Elvis’s Midnight Snack Peanut Butter, Banana, and Bacon flavored Whiskey. When I cheat, I go all in. for the burger I took down the Billionaire [ Foie Gras & Prime Beef Blend, Provolone, Mushrooms, Onion Marmalade, Port Reduction, Crispy Onions, Arugula & Truffle Pate plus pepper jack cheese ]. Just like when it existed at the Cosmopolitan this place absolutely killed it. I couldn’t finish all of this but my inner fat kid was grateful. The service was on point, the cuisine perfectly prepared to my spec, beyond fresh and flavorful, and I loved the design of the new space. I spend more time in Arts District when it’s warmer out but I’ll definitely be back. Their drink selection was extensive too, but that shake was enough for me.
This is why I work out as much as I do. I just space out the cheats farther and farther apart. If you’re staying on the strip this is not too far and there are a ton of local shops close by to find hidden treasures!
