Yep, I’m definitely having a good time at Fitbloggin!!
Of course, I’m taking advantage of the sessions and learning a lot, but, really, I love coming to conferences to hang out with my blog buddies!
This morning, I took an early flight from Boston to Baltimore and totally passed out on the flight. So, when I arrived at BWI, I was cranky, exhausted, and a little bit disorientated. Luckily, I found some iced coffee and bumped into Monica and her husband, Ben. Things got better after that.
The three of us took the Super Shuttle to the hotel together. I’m a space cadet and had no idea where I was staying for the weekend, but thanks to Monica, I ended up at the right hotel and the shuttle man didn’t kick me out of the van. Clearly, I need to get my life together. Derp.
After successfully arriving at the hotel, I checked-in, went up to my hotel room, and then registered for Fitbloggin.
So far, I’m loving Fitbloggin. It’s extremely well-organized and everyone is supportive, warm, and friendly. I love the positive vibe, and I’ve already met a ton of wonderful people. Fibloggin has only just started, but I’m already a huge fan of this conference.
Before lunch, a group of us got hungry, so we took a quick trip to Whole Foods for snacks.
I took advantage of the free samples. Obviously.
We also acted like it was our first time ever at a Whole Foods and snapped a bunch of photos. (Sometimes, I think bloggers really can’t help themselves.)
Before I knew it, it was time for lunch—and it was a good thing because I was starving!
The lunch spread included a big spinach salad with beets and gorgonzola cheese, roasted veggies, and a variety of sandwiches.
I grabbed a roast beef sandwich with caramelized onions and Gruyere cheese and a bunch of roasted veggies.
After lunch, Monica and I took another trip to Whole Foods for dessert. I picked a vanilla cupcake with vanilla frosting. Delish.
The day’s events are just about over, and we’re gearing up for a cocktail party next!

What a great time meeting and greeting with all the bloggers and new and old friends alike.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend, Tina!

Hey, that’s me! Thanks for the warning of the backside photo on the way to Whole Foods… awk.
I agree, it’s already been so much fun!!
OMG this is right in front of my office building! Come on up! JK. Have fun. Enjoy Harbor East! I highly recommend Chui’s sushi if you’re looking for something like that around here. Also RA (right around the corner) is really fun for a night out, plus they have great cocktails.
Looks like such a good time
I wish I could have gone this year, waahhh! Hopefully I will make it to Healthy Living Summit!
Yay for cocktails
are you doing a blogger meet-up at all? I’m not at the conference but I live in Baltimore
@Coco: I’m only here until 6:30 PM tomorrow night, so I don’t think I’ll have time.
Oh man that looks like so much fun! Wish I could have been there too.
That conference looks like a lot of fun:-)
Oh man, I WISH I could be there. It looks like amazing fun! Maybe next year? I’m still a new blogger but can’t wait for this sort of stuff in my future.
ooooh that looks awesome! Your lunch looks especially delish. Have fun
Can’t wait to hear what you learn!
That sounds like a fun conference, and you can’t go wrong with a trip to whole foods.
Haha love that you said you’re a space cadet : ) Looks like a great time! Have a great weekend.
Looks like an awesome time! I am looking forward to hearing more about the weekend and everything you learn!
That looks like so much fun! Cute photo with the oversized glasses, too!
I’ve been seeing #fitbloggin all over twitter – thanks for all the pics so I can see what’s going on
So exciting. Can’t wait to see the pictures of all the food and activities.
If only I could frost cupcakes like that…
Looks SO fun! Good organization is key at conferences!
SO fun! Can’t wait until I’m old enough to go to one myself
looks like a fun conference! their eats look fantastic – especially the roasted veggies
Man, the conference looks like a ton of fun! Can’t wait to hear more!!!
It’s so funny that you said you were a space cadet. I’m pretty sure I would have checked my hotel ticket 85 times on the flight. I freak out!
It looks like you are having lots of fun! How neat to meet everyone in person. Enjoy the rest of your time there!
Haha I love those giant glasses you’re rocking!
Can’t wait to hear more about the conference!
Have a great time! So nice that the event is running smoothly!
Fitbloggin looks like a great time! What is the agenda like for the conference?
This looks so fun! Love seeing my fave bloggers together
I had no idea there was a conference for fitbloggin’. I am newish to blogging and loving the term. Enjoy your weekend!
Ditto to the comment above. I’m new to blogging and all the social media things. Can’t wait to learn more about fitbloggin’. When’s the next conference?
Suzanne
Sounds like you’re having a great time. Are you presenting? Can’t wait to hear more about it.
Such a gorgeous group of ladies! You have had an exciting week, haven’t you?!
Oh, so fun!! This sounds like such a fabulous conference. Maybe next year I’ll be able to go.
That looks like SO much fun!!! I’m jealous!
Wow! They sure know how to make food over at FitBloggin’! Everything looks delicious!
I can’t believe there’s a blog conference that you’re at less than 2 miles from my house and I didn’t know about it!! How did this happen?!
Tonight for dinner, go somewhere in Fells Point. Mezze would be a good choice, and they should be able to accommodate a large party with little notice, but try to call ahead. And when you’re in Fells, go to Pitango for Gelato! Fells Point is only a few blocks further east from whole foods!
Major congrats on your successful book signing! The Fitblogging conference looks like so much fun! What a great reward for your hard work! Have fun at the cocktail party!
How did I miss those cupcakes on my trip to Whole Foods!!???
I loved the vibe at Fitbloggin too. It was so positive and loving. Thanks for your wrap up!
Should have introduced myself. Can’t believe we are local, but have not met. Hope to meet you at the local event. Stop by my blog for my recap as well.
