Last Day in Denver - FHBC

Our last breakfast at the Fitness and Health Bloggers Conference.
Granola from Love Grown Foods

Driscoll's Berries

Better Whey of Life

All assembled deliciously in a scrumptious parfait

With my awesome roommate, Sarah

 Then a few last presentations from the pros...



In the first presentation, Adam and Ted surprised us with a guest: Antishay! Cards on the table, I hadn't heard of her before today, but she is quite a famous vlogger over on YouTube. She creates very inspirational videos about her weight loss journey.


The second presentation was absolutely riveting. Dr. Wyatt taught us about current research on obesity, treatments, weight loss, and weight management. I found it all fascinating and look forward to sharing more with you this week.

After the conference, I had the pleasure of meeting up with Amanda, who lives in Denver. I met her at BLEND, and we decided to take advantage of being in the same state. She drove down to pick me up from my hotel and we ate at BJs for lunch.

Mini Vegetarian Pizza for me

Mango Thai Salad for Amanda

And Cold Stone!

The conference weekend was a blast. I loved the opportunity to really learn the science behind a lot of the health and fitness topics I like to discuss, and I can't wait to share more of it with you. For now, I'm back home with my boys, and Terry and I leave tomorrow for Cabo for a few days!

Other notes:

Day One in Denver - FHBC
Day Two in Denver - FHBC
Day Three in Denver - FHBC

Conference location: University of Colorado's Anschutz Medical Campus
I cannot rave enough about this location and its access to such cutting-edge technology and research in medical sciences. It was perfect for our conference, and the fitness center was out of this world!

Host hotel: SpringHill Suites Denver Aurora Fitzsimons
Excellent hotel! It's brand new and only a short walk to the University of Denver campus. There are a few restaurants nearby, and it's not far from the airport. It's also only about a 15-20 minute drive to downtown.
