On Thursday morning I will be flying out of Haboob City to Los Angeles for Fitcation 2012. Fitcation is a non-conference meetup for the community leaders of Mamavation. I can’t tell you how excited I am to finally meet these gals in person! I’ve been the dietitian for Mamavation for two years now and have developed such a love and respect for this community, but I’ve never met any of them in real life. I’m anticipating lots of hugs, intense workouts, amazing food, and plenty of blushing from me. Yep, I’m definitely the shy one of the group. I’m sure it will be fantastic!
On Friday night, we will be heading to Leah’s house for dinner, and I will be the chef. I’m teaching a cooking class! How fun is that? We will be cooking two entrees, two salads, and two snacks.
Here’s the rest of our schedule:

Oh, and there is also talk about hair chalking…I might come home with some blue or purple streaks…I’ll keep you posted.
I’m getting excited, time to go pack!
This sounds like so. much. fun.
I’m jealous! What a packed schedule, too. Can’t wait to hear about it!
