2.5 weeks out and on vacation...

HUTCH · Jul 10, 2008

Yes i am midway through the annual week long vacation in Laughlin Nevada...Its a little casino city bout 1.5 from Vegas...Momma Hutchs side of the family has been going yearly for like 15 years or so...So I got my ice chest with all my food and my trusty ol' skillet to do all my cooking...Every morning I have to go down to cinnabon and get a cup of hot water so I can make my oatmeal...Then I get all my food prepared and we head out to the lake all day...At least I get to work on my tan out there,

...Then when we get back from the lake I go and workout and do my cardio at the gym in town or at the hotel...

We had my lil nephews bday party out at the lake and they had these 2 huge ass cakes...Looked so good...When we were about to leave today the cake was starting to melt and my sister in law decided to throw it away,

...And I had to hold the trash bag open while she dumped it in...Very dpressing moment for me...

Every time i leave the room to go somewhere, I go by a McDonalds, Cinnabon, and Baskin Robbins...All right in a row...That is prolly the worst part of the trip...I got 3 more days left then back home...

here is a pic of fabulous kitchen...

the first thing i seek when i leave town is a local gym and finer foods, much respect......its a lifestyle no matter where you go!

You must be staying at Harrahs then right? Downstairs next to the arcade they have all those food places

I used to go to the river all the time and thats the only place we stayed. I miss it like crazy since my family sold our boat.

Oh and that gym there is tiny, last time I was there I dont think the dumbells went over 50lbs or was it 80lbs? Its been a while

Where do you lift at in town? I wasnt aware of any other places to train there.

Way to stick to your guns Hutch and enjoy the time with the Family!

HUTCH,

According to this, you'd better just stop eating altogether if you're gonna make weight:

Keep that groove goin', Scott. Bring that conditioning, man.

Thanks Chris...It makes it that much more fullfilling in the end knowing that I can still get ready for a contest even with some obstacles in the way...At 10 weeks out I did a week vacation to disneyland too,LOL...Had to sneak all my food into the park, people were looking at me crazy as I was eating out of my tupperware...

That's cool as hell, Hutch!!!

I tell ya though, its funny to see Alex continually correcting Lonnie. You can tell that Alex KNOWS these guys and where they placed and the inside aspects of the game, whereas Lonnie just kind of parrots the things he's heard repeatedly over the years. (Someone needs to put some bubble-clouds above Alex's head to show what he's REALLY thinking...)

At 2.5 weeks out, I think most would consider an hour of cardio a day to be a reward rather than a punishment

working on my tan...

Damn!

I'm very impressed ... I'll get there sooner or later... Your making big leaps

I feel ya bro, when we went to the beach in cali a few weeks ago for 4 days, we cooked enough food to eat 5 meals a day, packed shakes, bottles of vitimins, 3 coolers full. It is tough to get past the vacation fuck it mindset though and stick to what you have planned, props for that.

Never been to Laughlin man, sounds a lot like Mesquite, ill have to check it out some weekend. I get so sick of the crap and casinos here in vegas we usually head to Newport beach for our getaways.
