Thankful Thursday — People, Swag and More

When I think back over the past week of what I’m thankful for, one word comes to mind …

Fitbloggin’ 11

I am thankful for all of it …

The top-notch people … get to know many of them through their recaps here.

The swag (New Balance shoes, capris and head phones, Jillian Michaels new book, EatSmart bathroom scale, Larabar bars, iBeani, Attune products and so much more)

Informational workshops Learning about exercise included: HITT, doing a fast running workout also works the upper body, how my butt muscle is the most underused muscle (do they know how much I sit) Learning about blogging included: SEO, vlogging, anchor words, Google searches, Google analytics,  Google keywords (does Google own the world?)

Exercise — running, lower body workout, Zumba (After 15 minutes, this non-rhythmic-exMennonite -white-girl decided to watch this fast dance class instead)

The food. Usually I come home from conferences having eaten too much sugar, flour and junk … but not this time! Vegetables, fruit, whole grains, nuts and smoothies all weekend. Plus it was prepared and cleaned up for me!

The room. Along with it being a nice, swanky Marriott room, it was magically cleaned during the day. When, oh, when will that start happening at my house?

Along with being grateful for all the above, I’m thankful for the three things I learned at Fitbloggin’11.

And I guess I’m thankful the whole rapture saga is behind us, but it sure provided joke fodder. Did I think a ‘rapture’ would take place on Saturday (or will happen as people assume it will anytime) … not really. Though that group is now saying it will be in October, so round two in five months.

What are you thankful for today?

    I’m thankful this week for friends made on Twitter and in the blogosphere (especially those who remind me I am going to have to get back into shape at some point in my life). Thanks Janet!

    Karma is ….just making the bus before it pulled out and choosing an empty seat next to you!  It was lovely talking to you, your spirit and courage is inspiring.  Perhaps our paths will cross again someday.
