Hey guys! I’m back from Boulder and had a great weekend filled with workouts and meeting new friends. The weather was perfect so basically we couldn’t ask for more.
I have to say, it was a little nerve-racking driving down to Boulder. I was actually nervous about meeting fellow bloggers. For some reason, I imagined they all already knew each other but that actually wasn’t the case. Most people I found had never met one another before so everyone was in the same boat. It’s funny how I still get nervous about these kinds of things but I definitely think it’s good to get out of your comfort zone every now and then.
So, I got there Friday evening, checked in, and received the best swag bag I’ve ever seen (and pretty sweet t-shirts).
I also got to meet Janetha, Lindsay, and Katie who put this whole weekend on-awesome girls!

It was kinda funny meeting bloggers that I follow. I felt like I knew them…but they did not know me! Felt kinda like a creeper.
Once we were all settled, we had a cocktail hour, dinner, and desserts. Dinner was sponsored by Core Power, a protein drink. This was one of the many cool things about the weekend: being introduced to new products.
By the way, their vanilla flavor is awesome. Tastes just like a vanilla milkshake.
Dinner was great but dessert was the best: cupcakes from a local Boulder baker. You guys know how I feel about cupcakes!!
Yum.
It was so great to finally meet Lindsay, Sarah, Dena, and Heather (just to name a few)!

So, basically Friday night was a ton of fun. I went to bed early since Saturday we were up at 6am for Bootcamp at 7! More about that later… ๐

How was your weekend? How do you feel about meeting new people, scary or fun?
