Food & Wine event in Beverly Hills...

Full day and a ton of fun from beginning to end, AND yes friends, I DIDN'T CHEAT! But I will get to that in a bit...

Worked out the morning at Canyon and I was so excited to see 15 people there at the 8 AM class! The box is filled with excitement right now and a buzz that is audible. People are talking about recipes, encouraging each other more during the WOD and just having FUN! Meeting new people too that I haven't worked out with before. After the WOD, I spent about 10 minutes working on the first step of getting to a kipping pull up (that is my commitment at least 10 minutes each time I am there) and with some direction from Coach Ray and Alisha (THANKS!) I am getting a little closer to moving on to the next step and eventually will achieve my goal. :)

Then this afternoon my friend Misty and I headed to the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills to attend an event sponsored by Food & Wine and Buick that I had received free tickets for a few weeks ago. Yikes! Food?! Wine?! I was committed to the challenge and knew that I wouldn't be eating much if anything...well I was right here is what was served and demonstrated by 3 AMAZING Chefs....Homemade Bleu Cheese and Walnut Ice Cream and Smore Bombs...Scallops w Cauliflower Puree (with cream!) and then these Fried Pork & Beef Meatballs...and then of course the WINE! So...with the exception of the itty bitty sliver of scallop, I was not PNE approved but I had planned ahead and had my water and almonds to munch!

The Chefs were great, the hotel was sooooo cool and I will definitely go back bc it was GREAT and the company and time to visit with a friend was WONDERFUL! I didn't miss out on anything that mattered....time with a friend is the most important thing.
