I’m Going to Pass Out From Excitement

Seriously!  I am SO excited for the Healthy Living Summit.

HLSlogo2

Kath, Tina, Meghann, Heather, Jenna, and I have been planning this event for more than 6 months!  It kind of feels like my wedding all over again.  🙂

 

For those of you who don’t know,  the Healthy Living Summit was conceived because we were all bouncing e-mails back and forth about how badly we wanted to meet up in real life.  Then, someone said, "It would be cool if all the other bloggers and readers could go, too!" and then someone else said, "Hey, I bet we could get a company to sponsor a Summit!"  Next thing you know,  Stonyfield, Zesty Cook, and Foodbuzz had donated some money (OK, it wasn’t as easy as it sounds).

 

The Summit has definitely been a labor of love — we’ve put a LOT of work into it, and it’s so amazing to see it come to fruition!

 

I leave for Boston at 3 PM!  So excited.

 

Breakfast was delicious….

I made waffles using this mix from FlaxMatters.com (a sample):

You can win this bag of pancake mix + bags of flax!  Check out this post for the entry rules — it’s super easy and the giveaway ends on Monday!

 

My waffles were delicious — I like this mix!  I topped mine with Stonyfield yogurt, almonds, and a sliced banana:

To do’s:

 

  • Finish packing
  • Finish book proposal
  • Go to Dress for Success to learn about the charity for a Operation Beautiful event
  • Print items for Team in Training Bake Sale
  • Blog lunch!
  • Meet up with Meghann and Kelly for our 3 PM flight to BOSTON!

 

AHHH what am I going to wear??? I’m second-guessing my cocktail dress.

  • hookedup August 13, 2009, 5:44 am

    I always do that, pick one thing and then change my mind last minute. Take it from someone who knows, your first is usually right 95% of the time. Don't stress, have fun.

  • NYgirl@heart August 13, 2009, 5:48 am

    Have a safe trip and I can't WAIT to meet you guys!! And you know you're going to look hot no matter what you wear–especially if you were something short with heels to show off those legs!! (did that sound like I was hitting on you?? lol)

  • Runeatrepeat August 13, 2009, 5:49 am

    I am seriously hoping you do another summit in Boston! I just can't believe of all weekends it fell on the same weekend as the Country Music Festival at Gillette stadium! I would miss anybody, but Kenny Chesney to attend! 🙂 My fingers are crossed for much success and a chance to go next year! Have fun!

  • Ryane August 13, 2009, 9:03 am

    Don't second guess – I bet it's gorgeous!!

    I have a question about the live stream on saturday – will it be accessible to watch later on? I won't be around a computer at all that day but def want to see some of the lectures and whatnot afterwards… so yeah, what I'm asking is if I can DVR the HLS? haha

  • Joelle (The Pancake Girl) August 13, 2009, 9:05 am

    You're going to have a great time- enjoy! PS my suitcase always looks just like that when I travel! I hate packing.

  • stacey August 13, 2009, 9:24 am

    I have to ask- do you really pack your suitcase like that or was that pic just for the blog?

  • Caitlin at Healthy Tipping Point August 13, 2009, 9:39 am

    ryane – yes, it will be recorded so you can watch it later

    stacey – hahah well that was round 1 of packing. i always go back and re-pack everything once i sort through it all. i actually fold 🙂

  • Andee (Runtolive) August 13, 2009, 10:19 am

    Congrats on the hard work you guys have put into the Summit! I'm sure it will be a blast!
