But first, I forgot to tell y'all that my last class of law school was Monday evening. Yup, at 8:10, when my seminar concluded, I was officially done with classes. There are now
Fitness & Frozen Grapes and Jen's Best Life Book Club!
I am so excited to announce the start of the Fitness and Frozen Grapes & Jen's Best Life Book Club! Carrie and I are joining together for a monthly book club that will have both virtual and in-person components.
From athletes’ biographies to trending wellness ideas to the
latest bestseller on food and nutrition, we’re looking forward to exploring timely
topics in the world of healthy living. We’ll read one book a month, but we
won’t judge if you can’t finish the book by the time book club rolls around –
we get it, everyone is busy! You’ll still be welcome to join the conversation,
whether virtually or in person.
Each month, we’ll meet in New York City for a potluck book
club on a Sunday afternoon. Then, the following Tuesday, Carrie and I will both
post about the discussion and our thoughts, including links to your own book
review if you choose to write one and share it. And of course, feel free to discuss the book whenever by using the hashtag #FJbookclub!!
After the first month, we’ll also be voting on what to read
next, both online and in person.
For May, we're reading Savor: Mindful Eating, Mindful Life. It delves into some of the science and philosophy behind intuitive eating, something that seems to be discussed everywhere these days! Both Carrie and I are interested in learning more about intuitive eating but didn't want a book that was purely a how-to guide. This one looks fascinating!
Here's Amazon's description:
With the scientific expertise of Dr. Lilian Cheung in nutrition and Thich Nhat Hanh's experience in teaching mindfulness the world over, Savor not only helps us achieve the healthy weight and well-being we seek, but also brings to the surface the rich abundance of life available to us in every moment.
If you're interested in joining us, just fill out this Google form. We'll send you information about where and when we're meeting in NYC, and also keep in touch about how to get your post in the link-up.
So go sign up!!

Are you joining the FFG&JBL Book Club??? Will I see you at SELF Magazine's Workout in the Park??
Yaya, book club! I'm so excited to get the ball rolling and see where this adventure takes us. I also need to get the book. ;)
ReplyDeleteBook club sounds like fun! I am not around usually most weekends in summer but would still like to be a part of it.
ReplyDeleteI did the workout in the park last year...this year I am running a 10K in Jersey City (a week after the marathon...stupid...most likely, theme of my life)
Awesome!! Just sign up on the Google form :) And a 10K in Jersey City sounds fun, I was considering that but I'm traveling every weekend this month so a weekend staying in NYC sounded better!
DeleteI'm going to SELF's Workout in the Park! I went last year and it was crowded but a blast. We should meet up there!
