My Lucky Day: HLS (part 2)

Sooooo I’m baaaaaaaaack.

Loving life, just needed to get back in the swing of things.

After our morning run, we hit up the breakfast, which was perfection. Oats, granola, Almond Butter, fruit, yogurt, coffee, and a bag of Adora calcium chews for all. Yes please. Omg, seriously I love breakfast with my whole heart. However, I got greedy and inhaled it before even taking a pic. Oh well, I’m a healthy living blog, not solely a food blogger, so I consider myself forgiven.

However for lunch I made the extra effort. This is my attempt at being a Food Blogger:

Lunchtime! Soo delicious! Arnold Sammie Thin, with Turkey, veggies, side salad, a dollop of quinoa (but should have made that the main event), and then those awesome chickpeas that I discovered I couldn’t stomach (due to my recent bout with food poisoning in India…that recap coming a.s.a.p.), but I now have a VERY present food aversion to cilantro, which makes me VERY sad. I hearted cilantro until my run-in with Palak Paneer + peanut masala (with cilantro). Sad day my friends, sad day.

Ok, back to Summiting. SOooo to sum up the SUMmit (yes I’m lame), it was amazing and the people there were Fabulous. I said it before, but I’m a nerd when I say I was star-struck meeting the hosts. I’m that girl; gawking from a distance whispering to the person next to me: OMG, that’s Angela, or Ahhhh it’s Caitlin and I just bought her book! Anyway, the whole event was success and basically one big food fest, full of healthy goodies of course, so it was a guilt-free weekend!

I didn’t really take pics of the speakers, but I did capture the streets of Chicago!

Sears Willis Tower, costing $16 for a flight up to the Sky Deck. We passed.

Eye baaaaaaalls.

This was our first OUT.OF.THIS.WORLD. fro-yo experience. It was EPIC!

OMG, freshness in a cup. I wish Minnesota had one of these places! Does anyone know of one?!

Plain+Acai Froyo + strawbs, cacao nibs, & yogurt bits. Not gonna lie, I kinda wanted a little bit of every topping…but some may consider that greedy. I’ll go back again someday. Mark my words.

I came back from our walk and guess what?!??!! I won not one, but TWO DRAWINGS! I forget all the things from the first one, but 5 Uncle Sam’s boxes of something (I’ll show you the pic when it get’s shipped), 3 bags of Attune Granola, and 5 boxes of Gluten-free cereal! As well as a salad bowl from Athenos!!! What a treat! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saturday night was spent at Howl at the Moon with Jen, Caitlin, Molly (another MN blogger!) & her friend from Chicago! It was a blast! I can’t wait to hit up the Shout House in Minny!!!

We ended the night on a high— SUSHI! To die for. Again, major fail, and it all went un-pictured!

~~~

We summed up the awesome weekend with a morning 10k (and some 5kers and walkers), but it felt great to get in one last run with fabulous women! I couldn’t have had a better time in Chicago. Furthermore, I can’t wait for next year’s event. I hope it becomes a tradition!

8 hours for a carride home was less than stellar, but at least I had awesome company! Thanks again Jen for driving us all that way!!! Love you girls~

Until next time, all you beautiful people, I’m hittin’ the hay.
