Oh my! Can you say HUGE day? I told you yesterday it was going to be busy, and it definitely was- even though I didn?t manage to get through everything on that list! I have SO much from the Brisbane Fitness & Health Expo that I want to discuss and share with you, so what I?m going to do is give you a run down and then show you a bazillion different pictures. In particular, Michelle Bridges was incredibly inspirational and I?ll probably break down a few points from her speech in multiple posts- because it was really that good.
I literally have a million different things buzzing through my head that I want to share with you, but I think for your sanity I?ll stick with just a run down of the expo. Okay, so you know I was predicting my kid in a candy shop type excitement and I was right. As soon as we got there I was looking every which way and the three hours totally flied by!
Right near the entrance was my current new yummy- SlimPasta. The man was super sweet and showed me their new Fettucine product (along with their wok-ready, angel hair and spaghetti).
He was also kind enough to give me a freebie of my favourite type, the wok-ready (flat noodle)- which reminds me?I forgot to tell you about that on Saturday! I had it on Friday night for dinner and it was by far their best product I?ve tried. Gimme gimme!
?
I also saw some other familiar faces- like my FAV Chobani yogurt!
I seriously cannot get enough of the Chobani brand and everyone who worked there was incredibly helpful and nice. I managed to also snag some recipe cards, a chobani magnet and a whole box of plain chobanis (my fav) to take home! They won?t last long- what with all their deliciousness, uses and versatility! It was pretty cool to see just about every person there walking around eating a bowl of Chobani yogurt!
I?m not bias though, not all my friends are food-related. I also saw a fav gym wear shop- Lorna Jane.
?
I was salivating as I looked through the beautiful items, along with the 20% off sign! I actually asked if my gift card could be used and was a bit put off when a quite rude lady obviously thought I wasn?t worth her time and gave me a blunt no without even acknowledging or looking at me. So that was a bit disappointing since I love the brand so much and now I?ve got a slightly sour taste in my mouth about it.
With the stuff I knew, there was also the stuff I wanted- badly (oh to have unlimited $$$). There was a Vitamix stand and I was standing in awe at its? awesomeness. One day, you?ll be mine!
Speaking of awe- this lady left me dumbstruck. She is absolutely incredible and I fell in love with her as she talked.
Don?t worry I?ll try to capture her amazing-ness in future posts (yes I was that loser who took notes) and share it all with you! I also was lucky enough to get a photo with her (which I look terrible in haha) and her autograph. She was so lovely as she introduced herself to each person, got their names, autographed whatever and took photos. She also liked to chat it seemed, and this caused the line to slow down at times- oh well, so worth it 
?
Other demonstrations and presentations were going on too. Like arm wrestling, strong man competitions, bench press comp, fitness models and Mr Australia. He has HUGE calves. I?m totally blanking when it comes to his name and I actually can?t find it anywhere! :S
?
There were also plenty of other stalls that interested me like shoe stalls, magazine stalls (I got an Oxygen & Clean Eating mag!), clothes stalls, and those with vitamins and supplements.

That last picture is from the MissFit Sportswear stall. They had rocking clothes- bold colours, cool styles, and were very reasonably priced for gym wear! I didn?t get anything but I?ll definitely check out their website soon!
Oh and look what I DID buy.
?
I can now get my foam roll on with my very own foam roller
Well this is a ginormous post, and hopefully I?ve stimulated your eyes with all my (dodgy) photos. I am already excited about next year- I?ll be there for sure! Thanks for having me Brisbane Fitness & Health Expo!
DAILY HEALTHY THOUGHT: I love myself!
