Fun In Utah

Did I mention that Utah is gorgeous? Well it is.

Just went through thr photos I’ve taken since being here and I loved that one and wanted to share.

Today has been a very long day. I’ve had a 5 hour energy drink and a Monster energy drink and I’m still tired. I’m just too tired for anything. My long days and lack of sleep has caught up to me in a major way.

I think it might have been because I woke up at 5:15 ish this morning. Five am people! If you know me, you know that I am not a morning person. And for me, 5 am isn’t even morning. It’s still night time. Who wakes up during the night? Normally not me. But I had a very good reason for it – Shannon and I had to go work out!

She works out with Skyler Meine who is also the trainer of Ryan (No More Bacon). It was a really good circuit workout and I enjoyed it. I modified a few things (um, lunges) for my knees so I didn’t jack them up more than necessary, but other than that I was a fan. If you are in SLC, look the guy up.

Here is our pretty post workout shot outside in the fresh air.

So yes, I did a workout session all before I normally wake up for the day. Even that is enough to make me tired.

But that was just the beginning! We ran around Salt Lake City on a fun adventure. We went to a cute cupcake shop called Sweet Tooth Fairy where I got some cake bites and a cupcake (watch the food blog for these soon!).

Then we met up with Janetha (one of my favorite food bloggers!) for lunch at Cafe Rio. I loved that place! Yummy fresh Mexican food. I had the pork barbecue salad with their AWESOME salad dressing. I’m totally finding that recipe and making it. (And forcing Kepa to come up here just to eat there. Possibly.)

It was really fun to sit down and eat lunch together. I learned a lot and laughed a lot and had a really great time. Meeting bloggers I love to read is so much fun. It’s really awesome how most people are exactly like you expect from reading their blogs. It’s so fun. Did I say it was fun? Right. I did. Sorry, worst blog post ever? When I’m tired my writing is, eh, how do you say?, crap.

Since I’m mega tired of EVERYTHING right now, I’m going to head off to wind down this long day and head to bed before a 14 hour (!!!) drive tomorrow. I’ll be in Oregon soon you guys! I’m really excited and happy that I took this trip and I’m doing something beneficial for myself. Sometimes it’s all too easy to just sit in a room and be depressed with life and not trying anything new (speaking from experience here). I don’t want that for myself and want to instead force myself to do crazy things and live life. Today I realized that I’m making myself do this and it’s a good thing. Totally.

To recap:

Shannon and I went somewhere. The end.

It was fun. The other end.
