Hi guys and welcome to Monday! I’m in Houston at a work conference today. It’s kind of nice to be out of my normal routine and do something different. Hopefully, I learn lots of interesting stuff.
Head over to visit Katie at Healthy Diva Life and check out all of the positivity that is “Marvelous in My Monday”!
Good grief this weekend was busy, but good!
Saturday morning started off VERY early, as Landen had a gymnastics meet in the morning. If you missed my post from Saturday, go check it out! I have an awesome giveaway going on and you can enter once a day through Friday.
After the meet, Brad and I agreed that Chipotle sounded awesome. So, we drove 15 minutes out of the way just to get our “Chipotle fix”. Once we arrive, we walk up to the door and what do you know……there is a sign posted letting customers know that they’re out of corn tortillas! Brad HAS to have corn tortillas with his meal….major bummer. We ended up driving a bit further and going to Gloria’s Mexican Restaurant; which I must say, has amazing Mexican food. Brad and I shared the chicken fajitas.
Sunday morning and early Sunday afternoon was all about prepping to be away from the fam. Brad is not used to getting the kiddos ready for school and chaffering them to all of their activities, so this should be very interesting. I personally think it will be good for them….maybe they’ll appreciate me a little more….haha, only kidding! All packed up and ready for my road trip {the drive was about 5 hours}.
After arriving in Houston, I went to dinner with some of my coworkers. We went to Cheesecake Factory and they shared an appetizer and cheesecakes. I did have a bite of cheesecake, but I don’t think my tummy would have been very happy with me if that’s all I had for dinner. I ordered the Vegetable Salad with a pomegranate vinaigrette. It was just okay and I wouldn’t get it again….the dressing seemed a little overpowering.
The Healthy Living Summit location and dates were announced last week. It’s really far for me, but I would LOVE to go. If you missed the announcement, head on over to this link.
Something to think about……
Are you planning to attend the Healthy Living Summit? Have you been in the past and if so, what did you think?
What’s your favorite thing to order, when you go out for Mexican food?
What is something Marvelous in your Monday?
This is the first full week of February 2013….make it great!! Join me back here tomorrow for a recipe that your Valentine sweetie will love!

Enjoy your time away! I went to HLS last year and had a lot of fun but not sure I will go this year either because of the location. It was really neat to meet everyone though!
Danielle @ clean food creative fitness Marvelous in my Monday!
If you decide to go and need a roomie, let me know!
Boo to no corn tortillas!!!! I had chipotle Friday night, love it so much!
I have gone to HLS twice, I do plan going again maybe this year too! Where is it, I don’t even know the location, lol!
Happy Monday love!
Katie MIMM 36 Oh Yes!
It in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I would absolutely love to meet you in person, so I hope we can both make the trip!!
Have a wonderful time in Houston. I’m 100% sure your family will miss your beautiful presence around the home

Haha….thanks Jessie!!
Isn’t it the worst when you are craving a certain type of food or restaurant and for some reason you aren’t able to eat it? I HATE when that happens. I totally feel for you and your husband. It is a good thing that you were still able to get your Mexican food fix, though!
I totally want to go to HLS, but it isn’t close to me at all either!!
Maybe I can make it happen because I really want to meet so many of the bloggers that I have gotten to know over the past 6 months. If not, though, I am still holding out hope for next year to be closer to me!

So now I really have to thank you for posting the link for HLS, because after I looked at it I was pleasantly surprised. For some reason I had thought that I read that it was in Boston?? But now that I know it is in the Midwest there is at least a glimmer of hope that it might be a possibility. Thanks!

Me too!

Before I was even blogging, I went to the HLS when it was in Chicago. It was lots of fun! I just went for one day’s worth of seminars. I learned a lot, and it was neat to chit-chat with so many people that are passionate about the same thing. I didn’t realize that the HLS would be in the Twin Cities. Hmmmm . . . wonder if I can go?
I hope we both CAN go!!
I always appreciated having my mom back after she was gone for a little while… nothing functions the same when Mom isn’t around! And I was really considering going to HLS this year, but i’m kind of disappointed at the location
I’ll probably end up going anyways though, because I really want to meet some bloggers!
Amanda @ .running with spoons. . ignorance is bliss .
I was a little disappointed too. I hope we can both make it happen….I’d love to meet up in person!
Chipotle is my favorite!!! Burrito bowl with brown rice, black beans, corn salsa, guacamole and lettuce!
Had a relaxing evening at home tonight with my husband and puppy (and a cupcake with ice cream!) Happy Monday!
That sounds PERFECT!!
Well, HLS IS too far for me unfortunately
would love to go!
The chicken fajitas look delicious! My fave Mexican food is ordinary Nachos with Guac and Cheese or Burrito.

Whenever I eat out at a Mexican Restaurant I always order Chicken Fajitas and ask for no tortilla and LITTLE OIL since they always drench the heck out of the vegetables! Your food looks delicious! HLS is too far for me as well and with all the traveling I will be doing this year I really do not think it will fit into my schedule but I can always hope to go
Thanks for sharing! Love + Shine CourtStar

Asking for little oil is a great idea, but sometimes I forget!
