Shopping and Shaking

Hey hey hey 😀 How’s your day been?? Hope you’ve had a wonderful Saturday!
Since you’ve probably seen all of the Summit hubbub today, I’ll skip to some of the other things that went down

Like shopping and exploring with Gena:

and Zumba-ing my face off with Diana and a group of lovely bloggies.

I do have to show ya’ll one of the highlights of the Summit:

salad

Lunch 😀

They had an awesome spread of salad and veggies (along with sandwiches, fruit and other tasty delights), so I happily loaded my plate.

Total salad domination, 2010.

Since we didn’t really feel like attending the weights or yoga sesh (and I knew I’d be teaching Zumba later), Gena and I left during those presentations to get some fresh air.

We tasted some famous caramel corn, saw a cute puppy

(I miss Bella and VS! And my pilot love, of course)

and posed with a giant eyeball.

After the day of Summit-ting, a group of us went to a nearby gym for Zumba, which Diana and I team taught.

We’re off to feast on Indian food 😀

    Love seeing all the fun 🙂 Definitely missed meeting you though!

    Zumba looks like so much fun. I’m dealing with a awful case of Plantar fasciitis, but when that is better I am so trying Zumba!

  3. Marshall on August 14, 2010 at 9:19 pm

    I haven’t been to the blog in a while so I didn’t know where you were, but when I saw the pic of that street I knew EXACTLY where you were!! Oh how I miss Chicago!!

    LOL @ the mannequin picture. That’s hilarious!

    I bet your Zumba class was a blast. When you move are you going to be teaching Zumba?

  5. Krystina on August 14, 2010 at 10:13 pm

    I’m glad to see a different post! As much as I love reading blogs, I was getting tired of reading the same thing over and over.

  6. Whitney @ Whitinspired on August 14, 2010 at 10:20 pm

    ah! Looks like so much fun!

  7. Jessica @ How Sweet It Is on August 14, 2010 at 10:47 pm

    A blogger Zumba class sounds so fun!

    There is NOTHING BETTER than getting fresh air, real air, and getting outta that surreal feeling of hotel & presentations when you’re at a convention. I call it the Vegan Hotel Phenomenon. You just need to GET OUT and get away from it all for a few hours, totally! I would have loved to explore w/ you two and show you my old haunts and stomping grounds!

    And I saw your macs being gobbled up already ’round the sphere. You were so thoughtful to bring those for everyone 🙂 Nothing like traveling light. LOL

    HAVE FUN!!!!

  9. Diana on August 15, 2010 at 12:21 am

  28. Sarah Jayne on August 15, 2010 at 9:37 pm

    I have been spoiled for life now, for two reasons:

    1) most amazing zumba class ever! So so so fun- the group, the setting, the music, and the booty shakin!!!

    2) the macaroons. I finally know what it means to have my face ROCKED!! Looking forward to the day I can buy your macs by the boat load and share the wealth with my friends & fam 🙂

    • Fitnessista on August 16, 2010 at 11:53 am

      hey girl,
      i’m so glad you had fun at zumba and liked the macaroons! loved chilling this weekend <3

  29. Jaclyn on August 15, 2010 at 11:21 pm

    Thanks again for hosting that, it was a lot of fun *albeit, I’m like the least coordinated person, probably made a fool of myself hahhah!!! 😀
