What a pleasure it was to be in the presence of such a wonderful group of ladies this weekend. I attended the Healthy Living Summit up in Boston. This was my second year going and I felt like a sophomore going back...knowing a few more people and not nearly as scary as my first year not knowing anyone! Yikes! I spent lots of time learning, socializing and meeting some amazing women bloggers, fitness professionals and registered dietitians.
Lots of wonderful swag upon checking in...
Add lots of reconnecting with fellow bloggers.
Here's Heather and I before lunch. She was one of the speakers on Saturday and taught us so much about social media. Her blog is Running with Sass, she's a great runner and inspires us all to live a more balanced life. She certainly knows her stuff about social media. Thanks girl!
A whole group of us grabbed lunch at Whole Foods where I built myself a beautiful beet and lentil salad. So wonderful!
After lunch I reconnected with my old Tolland High School friend, who happens to work in Boston! My friend, Tricia from my softball days. We caught up, laughed and did a lot of remember when....
It was so nice to see her and go back to our younger days growing up in a small town. We were so busy chatting, that I unfortunately didn't even get a picture of us!
Friday evening was our kick-off cocktail party at the hotel. I was thrilled to meet so many other IIN graduates! And many first time HLS summit bloggers. Wow, lots of new blogs to follow.
There's so much more from the weekend...stay tuned to for Part II...tomorrow.
Lots of stuff to catch up on today...being back to real life....
Wishing you all a great day!
