I am sure by now you are over the HLS recaps but I have one last recap and then I will move on!
But first everyone wish my brother luck he is off the begin his Freshmen year at Clark University. I am extremely excited for him and insanely jealous!
If you are just catching up but sure to check out recap 1 and recap 2!
After everything wrapped up on Saturday my roommates and I got ready to head out to dinner with some of the other girls. I believe there were about 20 of us at dinner, so many we had to be split between 2 tables!
We went to dinner at Cafe Sushi. Unless someone had told you about this restaurant you probably would have walked by it. I am not sure how we had heard about it but I am glad we ended up there.
Juliette, Jocelyn and I decided to order the sangria because it was described as peach ginger and we were looking forward to the peaches. Note to self, ordering sangria at a Japanese restaurant will not get you your traditional sangria.
The sushi stole the show anywyas! I shared a seaweed salad with Jocelyn and got 2 rolls, a tuna and cucumber and a crunch something all I know is it had eel in it and crab on the outside, it was to die for!
After dinner a bunch of us walked to J.P. Licks a ice cream/yogurt shop. I had the best hard frozen yogurt of my life, oatmeal cookie and peanut butter chip. I may have found my 16 Handles replacement should I ever move to Boston!
Sunday morning there was a breakfast which I quickly ate and began my trek home!
I originally wasn’t going to go to the conference because I was nervous of not knowing anyone. I can be extremely shy in new situations especially when I am alone, I usually need to give myself a little pep-talk prior to going new places where I will be meeting new people. I am proud of myself for going and stepping out of my comfort zone, I left feeling extremely confident and proud that I went.
I am even more grateful and happy that I got to meet my two roommates.
From the second we got together the 3 of us immediately connected and could not stop gabbing! I am lucky that they are only a short train ride away because I hope to see them soon!
As much as I enjoyed myself I would have liked to learn more at the seminars, I feel like there was so much more to cover but only a short time to get to the point. I am glad I got to connect with all the girls that I did. It is very refreshing to be able to meet girls who share a similar background as you and girls who just get you.
Have you stepped out of your comfort zone lately?

So happy you enjoyed HLS! Attending was a huge step out of my comfort zone too! Walking into a room with absolutely no one I had met before was certainly pretty intimidating!

oh gosh so intimidating and you sort of feel awkward because some of the people you “know” but don’t know if they know you!
I just went to my first blogger meetup with about 5 ladies and I was super nervous. I’d be SHAKING before a conference like the HLS! Rock on for conquering your nerves

HLS was definitely a step out of my comfort zone as well – but I’m so glad I did it! I only wish I got to taste the deliciousness of JP Licks

so good, now you have an excuse to go back!
I actually love eel at sushi restaurants! I’m proud of you, too, girl – situations like that CAN be daunting – a little weird and nerve-racking. Glad you had a blast
Paige @ Your Trainer Paige recently posted..What I Ate Wednesday–Feeling Fruity
the sauce they use on eel rolls is my favorite thing ever!
GOOD for you for stepping out! Love that feeling of accomplishment once it’s over!!
And I just joined a running group. These girls have been together for over a year – I’m new and a bit slower. So scary and I freak out before every practice, but I know it will make me a better runner!

Liz, Good for you for joining a running group! You will for sure meet some great girls and ones that you have a lot in common at the running group! The Nike store near me has a running group that I have wanted to join but have yet to get my act in gear!
oh man Freshman year! Good luck. JP Licks is someplace I love to go when I am home. I am a huge fan of their soft serve.

I couldn’t agree more!! Yes please, let me know when! Hope you’re getting some sun!
I’m so happy that you enjoyed HLS, I know overall I did as well! I am also quite glad you attended, because it truly was great getting to know you! You are someone I would hang to out with regularly, and that means something coming from me m’dear! Does that sound mean at all? Not my intention, you get what I am saying here
Tessa @ Amazing Asset recently posted..WIAW- Were You Watching Me?
not mean at all, I feel the same way lady. I wish we lived closer and could hang all the time
MMM love sushi… as always, looks like a blast!! you are making me miss living in boston, ha! hmmmm stepping out of my comfort zone.. probably more and more with zumba – getting more creative and reaching out to other instructors, etc. it’s always really hard to keep putting yourself out there.
