Dinner was a total disaster! Per the Learn to Luv Veggies Challenge, I tried to make Eggplant and Potato "pancakes," but they just ended up a gooey, sticky mess!  I won't even share the recipe for fear that someone else will create them and have to eat them! :)   My Eggplant and Potato Pancakes [...]

Look on the bright side.   When I was younger, I was an overwhelmingly negative person.  I generally thought the worst would happen, assumed other people would rip me off, and I said "I can't" more than I'd like to admit.  I held a lot of grudges.  I was actually pretty mean to a few [...]

SpiBelt Review

Update your Google Readers!  http://www.healthytippingpoint.com/feed   I was SO excited to go on a run this morning because it was a breathtaking 68 degrees!  Fall has hit Central Florida!  This is exactly why our running season is winter -- running in 68 degree weather is a piece of cake compared to running in the Florida [...]

Relaxing on a Beach….

Good morning and welcome to the new Healthy Tipping Point!  Same blog, just a new look.  There might be some hiccups while everything transitions from Blogger to Wordpress; I apologize in advance!   I woke up this morning and did some meditation and yoga in my living room.  I used the Visualization technique for meditating [...]

I Hate Physics

Whew!  What a day.  I feel like I did 1 million things today!   I worked about 6 hours at my full-time job (should be done by Wednesday), plus another 4 of blogging/writing the book, and then I drove about 30 minutes to the community college for Physics class. I always sit in the back [...]

Get my booty out of my office chair and do a desk workout!   I sit for a very... long... time during the work day.  It's quite common that I'm sitting at the computer from 6:30 AM to 5:30 PM and beyond.  Humans aren't made to sit still that long!   Every now and then, [...]

I am no longer wallowing in the not-so-hot 15K race I had this Saturday.  In fact, I'm turning the disappointing experience into a catalyst for something more: I normally cut off the D-Chip when I get home, but I'm leaving the timer from Saturday's race on my shoelaces.  Every time I look down at my [...]

No More Fast Food!

Emergency!  Wiener dog without arms on the loose! Just kidding.  :)  She lays down and her arms disappear under her chunky barrel chest.  I love it.   Today was a BUSY day.  And I'm still working!  We took a break from studying + working to go to Costco around 1 PM.  I brought OJ and [...]

Speedwork Payback

After my disappointing 15K race yesterday, there was nothing I wanted to do more today than SPEEDWORK.  Cause I'm hardcore like that. Back in the saddle!   I used the lap feature on my Garmin to time myself as I tried to do 400-meter sprints (about 0.25 mile).  In total, the Husband and I ran [...]

Sunday Morning Reading Material

Good morning!  I woke up at 6:15 so I could start working  -- I feel like I have so much to do (um, like write a 200 page book in 2.5 months?!) and not enough time.  Early mornings are key!   I'm going on a speedwork run, but until I get back....   Operation Beautiful [...]
