Monday through Friday topic is Variety

We spent Monday through Thursday in AC and did alot of walking in the sunshine and playing/staying/eating mostly at The Borgata for 2 nights and Harrahs for one night. When we wanted a lighter meal, we tried the Harrahs and Ballys Diamond Lounges which just reinforced our Borgata preferences.

There are some people online who think just because we much prefer The Borgata, we should stay there exclusively but why should we if we have CET comps to burn? It is pretty obvious from the empty Diamond Lounges in the middle of the prime AC summer season that most Diamond members prefer not to use their comp for Diamond Lounges or have chosen to eat elsewhere or not come to AC at all. Does that mean they never should play or eat at an AC CET casino ever again? Just means they will go to AC Diamond Lounges way less often since the admission charges and therefore, probably play there less as well.

Variety is the spice of life whether it is eating, playing slot machines, or workingout.

Do people eat exclusively the same meal each day for dinner because it is their favorite?

Highly doubt it.

Likewise, I may prefer the newer Planet Motion World Dance to many of my older Nia workouts but will still revisit those less preferred Nia workouts for variety so I do not get burned out with Planet Motion.

Variety is just as important in where and what to eat for balanced meals and health, just as variety is important to keep me moving.

Bottomline, the best CET Diamond privilege for us was being able to upgrade to Black Label at The Borgata, a practice The Borgata may stop at any time. Borgata's Black Label needs twice the play to maintain as Diamond so why bother wasting alot of $$ to stay Diamond when we can be eating mostly at The Borgata where comp dollars accrue much faster? Doesn't mean I will never play or eat at a CET casino just because I stopped giving them most of my gambling $$.

OK on to my workout this morning. A kind VFer lent me the Caribbean *Workout On The Go* dvd which I wanted to try for its chiball chapter. Chiball chapter was very nice. Its Hi/lo chapter was very bungee friendly and ended with a solid lower body medball routine which was a nice bonus. Its Core chapter started with darn good standing abs. Since this dvd is out of print, it goes for over $50 on Amazon so I am really thankful to the kind VFer. Will be keeping my eyes open at thrift stores, etc. for thus dvd. Good chance of eventually finding it since it was discounted in a double pack with *A New You* at Target.
