Oh, Controversy! What Do You Think of PETA?

I had a rather interesting Twitter exchange with PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) this afternoon.  It started after I read this blog post from PETA about Gail Shea, Canada's minister of fisheries and oceans, who supports baby seal hunting.  Shea was pied in the face by a rather extremist supporter of PETA.

Vegetarian Emergency Meal

Thank you so much for your positive mantra suggestions!  I loved reading them and will use a lot in the book.   Speaking of the book… I am really, truly in the home stretch of the first draft now.  :)  I cannot wait to turn it into my editor and see what she thinks.  It’s [...]

Low Balled

The rain has leveled off, and now it’s clean and chilly outside.  I love how fresh the Earth smells after a storm. And I’m still riding high on my 1:58 Half Marathon from this morning!  Yay!   After I posted, I went to bed and slept for a solid three hours.  Truthfully, I could’ve slept [...]

UM vs. Duke Tailgate Recap

The Big Vegetarian/Vegan Question

Amazing vegan lunch! I had vegan tacos stuffed with black beans, grilled mushrooms, salsa, and spinach.  The taco shell was this brand: At first, I missed putting cheese on my tacos, but I quickly forgot because they were SOOO DELICIOUS. Plus, hummus and carrots: And a wheatgrass shot: The Big Vegetarian/Vegan Question:  Eating Ethically   [...]

Intuitive Eating

Update your Google Readers!  www.healthytippingpoint.com/feed   Sorry for the delay in posting.  :(  My Internet was down all morning, which was so frustrating because I live and breathe my computer.   My technical issues did mean that I had time to clean the house AND make a yummy breakfast: I love whole wheat waffles, but I [...]

Healing Properties

New Google Reader feed is www.healthytippingpoint.com/feed   One of the key aspects of Back On Track Month is getting 8 hours of sleep so I can wake up early and do meditation and yoga.  I fell out of the habit a few weeks ago, and I miss it so much!   This morning, I turned [...]

California Toast

I was in bed by 10:30 and up at 6:30.  I feel productive already!  :)   Breakfast was amazing: I made French Toast with a POM Wonderful twist, resulting in California Toast!   I added 1.5 tablespoons of fresh-squeezed pomegranate juice to mixed eggs + ground flax, and then cooked the French Toast like I [...]

Back to Reality

Good morning.  I must admit that I am SO happy to be home.  :)  Just knowing the Husband and doggies are in the same building makes me happy.  It’s so corny, but I feel like a part of me is missing when I’m away from my family.  True love.   I am still quite sick, [...]

Respect the Distance

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 [...]

Stale Legs

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?

TGIF

Update your Google Readers! http://www.healthytippingpoint.com/feed   I am SO glad it’s Friday.  I’m pooped and need to go to bed early tonight. By the way, James feels much better after his brush with death on Monday.  He’s back to his old self.  I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but James talks – if [...]

Anytime Fitness

This morning I went to Anytime Fitness in Winter Park, Florida to check out their gym and try their morning yoga class. I quit the gym a few months ago (I belonged to LA Fitness) because I hated the crowds, bad music, weird hours, old equipment, and lame classes.  Anytime Fitness seems to be everything [...]
