I’m in Jacksonville with my Mommy!  It took me about 3 hours to get here because I kept getting lost.  I’m so absentminded!   I snacked on a muffin (homemade by Meghann) while driving. And then I picked up my mom and we went searching for an acceptable vegetarian lunch.  Mom went vegetarian a few [...]

I woke up to a chill in the air! It’s currently 62 degrees (don’t laugh!) and I cannot wait to wear jeans today! :)   I made the ugliest batch of Flax French Toast for breakfast: I’m not sure why these came out so ugly, but they tasted good!  I had trouble flipping them in [...]

I poured myself a glass of Merlot while folding laundry this afternoon. It was awesome. :)  And I ate two of these scrumptious homemade muffins that Meghann gave me at lunch: I worked until 8:30 and then the Husband took me to Chipotle for dinner.  :)  I tried the Burrito Bowl this time.  I had [...]

I met my dear Meghann for lunch today at Urban Think Deli, a small cafe that is attached to a local bookstore in downtown Orlando. I was so happy to see Meghann! Our schedules have been conflicting lately. I ordered the Tempting Eve: My sammie contained sliced Granny Smith Apples, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, red [...]

I learned an important lesson this morning...  It’s more important to listen to you body than your training plan!    Before I left for my run, I had a whole wheat bagel, PB, and a banana: I had a 17.0-miler scheduled and met up with the girls (including Katy, Megan, and Kelly) for a run. [...]

Thanks for your feedback about entering a Half Ironman!  I took a break from work earlier today to research some training plans and realized that a Half Ironman requires WAY more effort than a marathon does (major duh on my part) – like working out twice a day 4 - 5 times a week.  I [...]

This morning, I was surprised with an emergency call from the doctor.  I had to go into the doctor’s office to get some test results – which were basically inconclusive and require more testing (before my insurance runs out).  I don’t think its really a big deal, but the whole run-around by my doctor and [...]

Another British-inspired breakfast: Egg in a Hole is so delicious! I use a bicycle water bottle to cut out a hole in the bread, put the slices on a greased griddle, and drop an egg in each hole.  The result is a slightly runny center surrounded by toast.  Those Brits are so smart.  :)   [...]

Cooking new recipes stresses me out.  It calls for beer. I tend to make a huge mess of my kitchen! But, for once I actually made something delicious – Neatloaf! Neatloaf is vegetarian meatloaf.  :)  It includes brown rice, flax cereal, tofu, and loads of other goodies.  It’s topped with a BBQ sauce. Beth gave [...]

Try new recipes. The other night, the Husband came home from clinical with a grocery bag in his hand.  He held it up and proudly said, “I got my first gift from a patient today!” The patient had given us well over three dozen Key Limes.  “They’re organic,” the Husband said.  “Can you make a [...]

Update your Google Reader!  www.healthytippingpoint.com/feed   I did not have the most pleasant run this morning.  Dry heaving on the side of the road was involved. :( Lately, I’ve noticed a pattern of bad run – good run – bad run – good run, especially when I run two days in a row.  What gives? [...]

In honor of this week’s Blogger Secret Ingredient: Pancake Mix contest, I made Pumpkin Spice Pancakes for breakfast. I don’t have a detailed recipe to share, but basically, I made regular whole wheat pancakes and added about 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree and dashes of cinnamon. ground cloves, and nutmeg.   The result?  Soft, chewy, [...]

Writing, writing, loads of writing! This is my book folder.  All those papers are notes, legal releases, and narratives.  Each tab is a chapter.  This book is currently my EVERYTHING.  If  my apartment caught on fire, I would snag this, my wedding album, and my laptop.  :)   I snacked of Greek yogurt and granola [...]
