Healthy Chicks

From now on, every Sunday I am going to post a quote that inspires me/makes me smile/gives me the giggles/makes me tingle inside or simply urges me think. I welcome you to the start of Quotable Sunday here at Healthy Chicks. Enjoy!

I’m terribly sorry I haven’t updated since Thursday, but I’ve been in Baltimore visiting my younger sister Krista. So that’s a pretty legit excuse, right? Still, I thought I’d update you on some things I’ve been getting myself into down south…

1. Drinking like a college girl: Holy moly has my body changed since college. I just can’t handle the alcohol like I used to be able to, so needless to say I was quite intoxicated on Thursday night when we went to my sister’s friends “happy hour” at a bar. Free entry and $2 mixed drinks? What did they expect? 

2. Lots of Dining: I’ve been dining like a queen since I got here, and am definitely going to have to make up for it this coming week. Lotsa clean eating and core fusion is a-comin’! I have to say, my favorite meal by far was at RA sushi on Friday night. My dad came down from CT to surprise us girls, and took us out for the most amazing sushi of my life. Best part? It was Happy Hour so everything was half off. You bet I dined hardcore, filling up on fried shrimp (YUM), spicy tuna rolls … Read More!

As I mentioned on my blog yesterday, I won a ticket to Boston’s LUNAFEST from the lovely girls over at Guiltless. I think it’s safe to say I was absolutely ecstatic. Not only did the event look like a blast, but it was hosted in the Liberty Hotel. Fancy shmancy, huh? Needless to say, I got all dolled up in my fancy new boots, dark skinny jeans and a snazzy black shirt and took this single girl on a hot date…by myself. I have to say I was pretty pumped to take myself out on a date and do something different for once in the lovely city of Boston.

Some highlights of the night:

-All the beautiful, powerful women in the room: Seriously, the ballroom was packed with women. While some did bring their husbands or man friends, the majority of the people there were 20, 30, 40, 50 and even 60-something women all there for the same purpose: to learn and enjoy themselves. 

-The charitable aspect: 100% of the LUNAFEST net proceeds went directly to charity, specifically to support the Breast Cancer Fund, and they made this very vocal at the showing. One woman spoke of the … Read More!

When I was younger, I used to be extremely lucky. I always won the best prizes during Bingo night, would win raffles like it was my job and scratch tickets always brought me a couple extra bucks in the pocket. However, lately my luck hasn’t been quite like it was as a child. 

But, as of yesterday (or this whole month actually) I think it’s safe to say my luck is back, baby! For starters, I went on two dates in one weekend, and scored a job interview (which I ended up declining, but that’s a whole ‘nother story). Then yesterday I won a pair of tickets to see LUNAFEST at the Liberty Hotel in Boston, which I couldn’t be more excited about! Oh, but wait, it gets even better. I was also invited by the kind woman from Core Fusion to take a live class with a friend here in Boston at Exhale Spa in the near future. Then just when I thought my luck couldn’t get any better, this morning I woke up to an email telling me I won the Greyhound raffle I entered at a festival a couple weeks ago, getting me $50 … Read More!
