I am insanely excited. I am also tremendously tired. So we are going to keep this brief.
Got into Austin at 11:30. Then the big blue shuttle drove us to Travassa (formerly the Crossings).
There's a long and winding road leading up to the resort. There's tons of sky. There's also tons of land. It's just lovely. When the shuttle stopped, cute Texan boys were there to take our bags to our rooms.
My room is AWE. SOME. MAH.
My bed is big and fluffy, the way I like it. The bathroom is large and gorgeous. There is a a beautiful desk, so many windows, and wifi!
And that BED.
I am going to sleep so hard tonight.
The welcomes tonight were so exciting. We went into a huge gym/auditorium where Rip Esselstyn (Big Engine 2 Author Guy) told us about all the super exciting people we were going to listen to talk this week. Nutrition big wigs and the like. And he gave us a rundown of the menu for the week. Which was enticing and delicious.
I am a sap. I get excited when people who know something works say over and over again "This is going to change your life. This information." I believe them. Especially when the food looks like this:
two kinds of delicious beet salad. Huge piles of kale and spinach with cashew cream sauce. And sweet potato lasagna. I ate all of this. It was delicious and filling and yet I feel light and not stuffed.
Except for the crazy gas.
I am amazed I am here. It hasn't sunk in yet. I think a good night's sleep will help that along. Man. It's going to be an amazing week. So many lectures and classes tomorrow. And workout at 6:45 am. Oh boy.
I suspect I will also take the time to enjoy this view. Over and over again.
Looks and sounds simply amazing. I am so glad you are there. You deserve it :)
ReplyDeleteThat food looks amazing!! Can you learn how to make all that?? I'll eat it! Haha.
ReplyDeleteMikey, all the recipes of the food I'm making are in the Engine 2 Book! So, yes, I can and I will! It's the first and foremost thing I'm going to do when I get back is COOK this beauiful food.
ReplyDeleteI meant, of the foods I'm eating. Ha.
ReplyDeleteHey Kel!! Everything looks and sounds amazing! Excited for you to share with us all that you have learned. love ya!! : )
ReplyDeleteYAY, I finally figured out how to post comments. I hope you have hard copies of the recipes and all the wisdom you've gained from the lectures.
ReplyDeleteAny meditation or yoga? You certainly have a beautiful setting to relax in, a bit more serene then NYC. : ) Have a good night.
Hey Anonymous(es)!
ReplyDeleteA lot of the recipes are in ENGINE 2 DIET book and can be found on he engine 2 website.
As far as meditation and yoga--the whole week has been meditative, in a way! Yoga is one of the morning workouts--I've done the hike workout and the crossfit workout so far. Tomorrow, I will do yoga, though I have to get there early, I hear, as it fills up quick!
Kelly, this looks so scrumptious! -- Allegra
