I'm attending a Sparkpeople Convention tomorrow in Cincy. I use Sparkpeople website to track calorie, exercise, read health articles and meet people. The day starts with a morning walk, presentations from the founder of sparkpeople, nutritionist, and coaches. We get lunch and several exercise breaks including some yoga.

I came down early and am staying in a very nice hotel. I think it may be the nicest I've ever stayed in. I got the convention price of $105.00. I'm use to travelling a lot but I usually travel on a very low budget. For example, when I go to the races with Paula (my BFF), we stay at Comfort inn. She has a rewards card. So we often earn free nights. When we go to Charlotte in October we are staying 3 night...2 of which are free. The night we are paying for is $40.00 each.

This room has a living room area with it's own plasma TV, couch and chair, dining table, fridge, microwave. Then you have a nice sized bathroom. And then the bedroom with another plasma TV and my huge king sized bed. My only complaint......why do nice hotels not have vending machines with snacks in it? Their is a pop machine but no snacks. I didn't really eat supper. Had lunch about 3:00. So, I'm a little hungry. There's a restraunt in the lobby but I don't feel like eating alone. Guess I'll survive until the free breakfast tomorrow. I won't starve.
