After we listened to the group of speakers at the Fitness Magazine Meet & Tweet, we had two hours to eat lunch and visit the vendors at the event.

I started lunch off with an asian inspired salad. The chicken was great and the dressing completely made it addicting. I was pretty impressed by the food choices. They weren’t bland by any means. You could tell Fitness put a lot of thought into their choices.

We ate outside on the rooftop where we listened to the speakers. The one side of the building was shaded while the other was sunny.

Next stop – the vendors. Of course, Reebok was there. They’ve been hitting it off with the Crossfit line and their new upbeat sneakers the last two years. An impressive company. Everyone that works for them seems to be very uplifting and optimistic.

Athleta joined us for the day, too. We were told that they are actually opening a lot more store locations this next year. I have never tried any Athleta gear, but I did get a workout headband in my freebie bag (which I will post about tomorrow icon smile Fitness Magazine Meet & Tweet 2013 Part 2 ) so I’ll be giving it a try!

Smart Balance is a brand my family has used for a few years. We’ve used the butter from Smart Balance, but I never knew they had peanut butter! I usually use the Smucker’s all natural version. If we took a goofy picture like below, we were given a free jar of creamy or crunchy peanut butter. Obviously I did it. I chose the creamy version so there will be a review eventually! The Smart Balance crew even made up som cocoa peanut butter cookies that were AMAZING. So I’m thinking I’m going to enjoy the peanut butter. LOL

There were a few more vendors like Saucony and CamelBak. We had some free time after visiting all of the vendors, so we went out onto the other side of the building. SUN.

I found this survey on Julie’s blog, which sparked me into thinking about some of my “currents”. Cut to this post icon smile Currently .

 

Current Book

I am currently finishing up The Yoga Sutras of Pantanjali for my yoga teacher training. It’s cool how every part of the personality is picked apart throughout the book. It really helps to look at our thoughts differently and learn a little more about ourselves through our thoughts.

Current Music

The 90s Pandora station is perfect! I rocked out to it on a run last week icon smile Currently .

Current Guilty Pleasure

With the warm weather coming in full strength, a daily ice cream trip is definitely my guilty “summer” pleasure.

Current Nail Color

Zip. I have nothing on my fingernails right now. I can use a good manicure.

Current Drink

I am currently loving water. Of course for it’s obvious hydrating purposes, but there is also a pleasurable feeling drinking cold water during the warmer months.

Current Food

Vegetable soup has been a recent obsession. Not too sure where it came from, especially since it’s warm out, but I’m enjoying it icon biggrin Currently .

Current Favorite Show

I watch Sex and The City every day while I am eating lunch, so yes. STC it is!

sex and the city Currently

Current Wish List

I have had my eye on the Nike Sportwatch heart rate monitor for training for another half marathon in September, so hopefully I can bring myself to get one.

Current Needs

I’ll agree with Julie here. A haircut icon biggrin Currently .

Current Indulgence

AND AGAIN. Ice cream! LOL

Current Blessing

Being able to do the things I love everyday and live one day at a time. I appreciate that I can be more present in each moment now than I could in the past.

Current Outfit

A workout tank and Soffe shorts. I’m in bed writing this!

Current Excitement

Being able to FINALLY teach yoga! I will update you as I get settled icon smile Currently .

 

Take a stab at your currents in the comments!

Benefits Of Twists

May 15, 2013

Some of the yogis I am training with to teach have mentioned that they “no longer need to see the chiropractor” because of their yoga practice. While I do believe yoga helps with a great deal of spinal issues, I also believe that there is a need for chiropractors as well. Some of the main [...]

Taking The Good With The Bad

May 14, 2013
