Hard Work Pays Off – WIAW

hard_work_pays_off_tumblr

I didn’t start blogging until I moved to Trinidad.
And as soon as I started reading other blogs in other parts of the world…
I saw that the bloggers got together and had lunches and dinners together.
I have to admit, I was a bit jealous.
Then, I thought, stop being jealous and do something about it.
I met Quincy, a local blogger, a we had a couple lunch blates.
Then, I started pushing for a local blogger lunch.
After months of waiting…it finally happened.
Yesterday, 4 of us were invited to Chaud Café, for a fabulous blogger event!
I promise to blog all about later in detail, but the food was AMAZING.
So was getting to meet other bloggers.
We had an fabulous time!

Yesterday I woke up SO sore.
When we had our fun pool day at The Hyatt on Monday, we hit the gym.
I really did it up and man…I’m sore everywhere.
I LOVE IT!
I haven’t felt like this since before the cast…
And I can’t wait t be able to workout again ASAP.
Only 9 days till (hopefully) cast off day!
It’s stinky, falling apart and just downright disgusting.

I thought the best way to start yesterday would be w/a massage.
So, I surprised M with in house massages yesterday morning.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
It was awesome.
I mean, when is a massage not awesome?!!

awesome

This morning is a crazy busy, but fun one.
- workout w/Melissa
putting her through the Tracy Anderson Mat DVD
- friend time a fun pool complete w/mimosas and a killer view
- making the fabulous falafel burgers tonight and catching a movie

Breakfast was a bagel thin, 1/2 sweet potato and a piece of leftover turkey
I ate it so fast I failed to snap a picture.

I needed some OJ too…I had a low.

  1. Corey, you always have the most amazing looking meals! So jealous.

  2. I love falafel burgers. Yours looks tasty with all of those toppings!

    :( I have never attended a blogger event, but oh do I wish! I probably couldn’t eat anything that would be served… But who cares? That would just be awesome. I spend so much time reading and commenting on blogs.

  3. I have never attended a blogger event. Part of me thinks it might be weird ha!

    Glad you had a fun time though AND a killer workout!

  4. This post made me chuckle. I’m an on again off again blogger (mostly off these days err years). I came across your blog when I was doing a search for a new restaurant that opened in December and have been reading quietly in the corner over there *points* ever since.

    When I was an avid blogger we never really had meet ups, meeting people would be like what you did with Quincy, just meet the one person for lunch or something. It was only when I went on twitter that I really started to meet other people and we would have “tweet ups” every so often, still do. A lot of the people whose blogs I used to read are on twitter so I guess its a sort of double event.

    Your cast shall soon be off …hoorah!

    • Wow. Thanks so much for your comment. Heading over to check out your blog asap. the meet up was fun…. Im a newbie to Twitter.. @CoreyLearn but im slowly learning the ways… We should meet, have lunch!

      xoxo

      • Oh gosh don’t judge me by the very depressed and dreary contents of my blog. It was/is my outlet for bad times mostly *sigh*

        Yes lunch would be great, just say when and where…I’m @trinigirlblue on twitter :)

  5. No I am too shy! All the bloggers in my area are established and cute and perfect practically. Its hard to go to lunch with 12 different versions of Mary Poppins when you are really Lady Gaga.

    I have to tell you those burgers look awesome. (Pinned!)
