Fitbloggin’ Day 2!

by Matt on May 22, 2011

I can’t believe that Fitbloggin’ is already over :(

Did you miss day 1?

Shortly after dinner, Jenn and I retreated to the room as we were completely exhausted. However, we had to be up bright and early for the oatmeal breakfast!

Oatmeal with nuts and dried fruit, yogurt with granola and berries, two hard boiled eggs, a banana with peanut butter, and way too much coffee

Did I mention that they fed us really well?

Trust me, this is one conference that won’t make you feel like a weirdo taking pictures of your food ;)

After our bellies were full, it was time for a session called “From Hobbyist to Professional: Taking Blogging to the Next Level.”

Although I never want to be a professional blogger, it did give me a lot of great ideas on how to grow my blog and take it to the next level.

Sadly, me and Jenn had to bow out of the afternoon sessions because we had flights at 2 PM.

Since Birmingham is a small airport, the last flight out for the day was at 2 PM. I would have loved to stay a few more hours and go to the next session, but I came on a free ticket and all of the flights on Sunday were booked. No biggie!

We still had some time for some great photos!

I was really sad that we had to leave.

However, Jenn is the coolest person to chow down on Whole Foods hot bar with at the airport.

Just sayin’ ;)

I’m now safe and sound back at my apartment. It was a great trip, but I missed my bed. We were good friends last night.

Interested in what kind of swag I scored at the conference?

Check back this afternoon!

That is a short weekend! What is it that you want to do for a living anyways? What kind of job is your “ideal” job or what your hoping for?

The funny thing is that you could easily BE a professional blogger. So you might not have a choice!

So I think the picture of you and Katy is kind of hilarious because of how awkwardly spaced far apart you two are compared to all the rest of the photos, hahahaha. Such a great weekend, hopefully next year you can schedule a later flight and extend the awesome! :)

Our picture looks like we’re headed to prom and neither one of us was the other’s first pick for the person to date, so we’re hugging because we have to.

When in reality, I think you are one of the most fun and charming people I have ever met! Next time, the picture of us needs to be a big squishy bear hug. You in?

LOL. I was thinking the same thing!

I’m totally in ;)
