Back to the Grind

In light of the Bloggers and Freebies discussion, I have created a new page (Healthy Tipping Point Featured Products) in which you can see a list of all the companies that have sent me products to try out on the blog.  I think this will keep my blog transparent,  help you stay educated as consumers, [...]

Worthwhile Charity Suggestions Needed!

I really love the feedback on the Bloggers and Freebies post.  What I like most is that people can disagree or point out another side of the argument without getting nasty.  Three cheers for civility!  I like reading the dissenting opinions, too.  They are very insightful!   :)   It's been a relaxing kind of [...]

My Morning Routine

Good morning!  I had a wonderful -- if WAY too filling -- breakfast: The end of the tub of Oikos Greek Yogurt, granola, blueberries, and flax. No dishes required.  :)   My Morning Routine   Back in May, Meghann  posted her morning routine, which I'm sure impressed everyone reading it because she gets SO much [...]

I have an exciting Healthy Living Summit announcement:  the winner of the free Golden Ticket I gave away last month cannot attend anymore, so I'm going to be raffling off her free ticket TOMORROW.  Come back in the morning to learn more!   I've had a busy day at work, but that's OK with me.   [...]

My Review of Food Inc

I'd like to preface this review by stating that I asked whether people would rather hear an unbiased review or my personal opinion on Food Inc, and at the time that I began to write this, 47 people had said they wanted to hear my personal opinion, and no one asked for an unbiased review.  [...]

Lobbyist for Lettuce!

Reading your responses to The Protein Question is so interesting!  Different diets work for different people.  I really like to learn more about different eating styles (which is why I read meat-eater blogs, vegan blogs, raw blogs...) and your feedback is very insightful!   So, now everyone knows that I'm a little paranoid when it [...]

Fox News Appearance

What a whirlwind experience!  I can't believe I was on TV this morning.  It was a surreal experience, but I was excited to share the Operation Beautiful message. I woke up around 5 AM to get some work done before we had to leave for the TV studio.  I ate a stabilizing breakfast of Oikos [...]

Sneaky Protein Pizza

Lunch was SO good today! To make Sneaky Protein Pizza, I mixed 1/4 cup (measured dry) cup cooked lentils with 1/4 cup pasta sauce, slathered it on top of a Flat Out Wrap, topped it with cheese, and baked it for about 10 minutes at 350. Truly a fabulous and quick dish (especially if you [...]

OPERATION BEAUTIFUL: Today’s Notes

I've decided to start posting the Operation Beautiful notes in a separate post (now one of four posts per day!)  I'm getting so many -- which is awesome -- but it's getting hard to manage including the notes in every post.  So, expect one separate Operation Beautiful post for day (for as long as this [...]

Random Munching

Thanks for all your great advice on stretching!  I'm going to post a summary of the suggestions sometime tomorrow.  I really appreciated hearing your feedback and I know others will, too!   I did not really ever eat a "dinner" tonight -- I just kind of randomly munched throughout the afternoon and evening.   Like [...]

Ginger and Brazil Nut Tofu

I loved hearing your feedback on the Good, Bad, and Ugly of food blogs.  Keep those comments coming; I know other people like to read them, too.   Lunch was something to celebrate! I haven't eaten tofu in DAYS and was really looking forward to a tofu-centric meal!   The star ingredient was.... I based [...]

Iron Girl's mission is to empower women toward a healthy lifestyle.   Launched in 2004 with just two events, the Iron Girl brand has grown to now include ten events nationwide, varying [...]

A Metric Century

I am excited about everyone's feedback on Project Glow!  Of course, everyone's skin is different, so what worked for Angela might not work for me or you.  But in general, I think ANYTHING is going to be better than my Irish Spring soap.  :)   I had some pineapple to hold me over through lunch [...]

Project Glow

Last week, I wrote Angela at Oh She Glows an e-mail whining about my sallow, uneven skin tone and breakouts.  "I'm 25!" I wrote.  "Shouldn't my skin be more... adult?!"  She asked me to describe my current skin care routine, and I must admit I blushed when I described my daily face scrubs with a [...]
