Best Blog Posts
This week is Healthy Tipping Point’s blogversary!
I started blogging on July 30, 2008 under the blog name See Bride Run. The last year has been an amazing and life-changing experience. I got married (and updated the blog name, losing all the old comments in the process… boo!). I’ve helped plan the Healthy Living Summit. The Husband and I became vegetarians. I raced in 12 bike and road races. I signed up for a marathon to raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I launched Operation Beautiful. I made tons of friends, both electronic and real life. Most importantly, I learned a LOT about healthy living from my fellow bloggers and my readers.
1,409,000 hits and 1,016 posts later, I am happy to say HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY week to Healthy Tipping Point! Thank you sooooo much for reading.
If you’re a new(er) reader, below are some of the most memorable posts of the last year. Thank you for making blogging so enjoyable for me!

Wow! I can't believe you've only been blogging a year! You're really made a name for yourself in a short amount of time. You're very inspiring!
I hadn't read your honeymoon posts but I knew that you'd gone to Napa. I just got back from taking a trip there so I decided to look at your posts. We actually ate a Bottega, too! And saw Michael Chiarello chatting up restaurant patrons while we were eating. He didn't stop at our table, though.
