I woke up this morning with purest of intentions to go to hot yoga, but when I sauntered outside to scrap the car, I was greeted by an icy, icy world. (I gave him food and a blanket.)     Um… right.  Drive in that? No thanks.  I think this morning falls under one of [...]

It snowed and it snowed… all day long.  But now I think my Winter Wonderland is melting and turning into ice.  :(  Very sad. If this dinner looks a lot like yesterday’s dinner, that’s because it’s pretty much the same thing.  Toasty hummus + veg:    The Husband wanted to try Aduki beans, so I [...]

All the patients called off today, so the Husband and I decided to take a snow day and go for a long walk in a new neighborhood.  Isn’t it pretty?  We’ve gotten about 5 inches! James had to be carried for a little bit.  :)   And we grabbed Mediterranean take-out for lunch. Here was [...]

SNOW DAY!!!! I woke up this morning, ran to the window, pulled back the curtain, and was greeted by a world of white. The weatherman predicted it was going to start snowing around 3 AM, and I kept getting up out bed all night to peek out and see if it had started yet.   [...]

I am MAJORAHLY in love with my indoor bike trainer (the Bell Motivator).  It was super chilly outside today, so I decided to just sit on my bike and ride for 45 minutes.   Pillow on aerobars -->  yet another reason indoor riding rules. My quad muscles say HOLLA.   Mom, thanks for making 45 [...]

Well, my trail run didn’t happen as planned this morning.  Nicole and I both decided we were too busy to drive to a trail.  So, no workout so far today, but I’m hoping to run later this evening.    So far I’ve spent the whole day doing this: I’m in the midst of writing the [...]

Grr!  Another night without Internet – what’s with my wonky connection?   Fortunately, my signal hung on all day, and I got a lot of work done.  Munched on some Ants on a Log with a twist.  Sunflower buttah and chocolate chips.  Mmm! And I ordered in pizza for the gang (Husband + father-in-law) Unfortunately, [...]

You know what this girl needs to de-stress?   A manicure. A ride on the indoor trainer.  While watching TV, of course. And a long walk in my Vibrams with a happy puppy.   Ahhhh. I feel so much better now!   Breakfast was eaten in a rush because we had to go to the [...]

Here’s a very ‘real life’ post for you.  :)   Yesterday, I went into the clinic around 4 PM, and the Husband ended up helping a patient until 8 PM.  Combined with the fact that we had both already been working since 8 AM, it was a long, long day.  I’ve been having those a [...]

I really think of Healthy Tipping Point and Operation Beautiful as two separate and distinct blogs (HTP is “mine” and OB is a community blog).  But sometimes, the notes I receive for OB parallel discussions we’ve had on HTP so nicely!  After this morning’s January Joiner post, I got this email:   Ela wrote, “I [...]

I woke up hoping to see a snowy yard, but alas – it was just frost and dead leaves.  At least I can still go running!   A snowy breakfast bowl: In the mix:   1/2 cup oatmeal 1/2 cup almond milk 1/2 cup water 1 banana Ground flax Toppings:  White chocolate chips   Support [...]

Tonight, my father-in-law and the Husband got professionally photographed for the clinic’s soon-to-be re-vamped website.  I was in charge of straightening ties and lab coats and being the acupuncture model.    (The Husband was fluffing his eye lashes. He has the longest, thickest red eye lashes.  I am jealous of them!)   We got home REALLY [...]

You know what?  Grilled bananas really are vastly superior to raw bananas, especially on French toast.  :)  Should’ve grilled mine this morning! My breakfast was a hybrid of Lazy Girl’s Cinnamon Bread French Toast and Grilled Banana Sandwich… It just wasn’t the same without grilling, though!   Lunch included leftover vegetarian sushi: Coconut water because [...]
