Back To Blogging

DSC01791

I’m so sad its over!! Guess its just me, the blog and you guys to pick up with on Monday! I’ve had such an amazing time, learned so much, met lots of really neat people. I hope I can attend some of the Reach Out Tour events – Greensboro is just down the road, and I now have connections in Boston

:mrgreen: this !

I was thrilled to find a buffet of raw veggies + ranch dip put out for snacktime!!

I also had a few tortilla chip crumbs and 2 Boca samples along with my veggies .

DSC01734

Boca had some patties out for sample – the Bruschetta one (which I’ve been wanting to try but haven’t wanted to commit to a box but not I will) and the Portabella Mushroom , which I didn’t like as much.

DSC01736 DSC01737

And I had my first celebrity moment !! One of the girls at the Boca burger sampling said "You’re Kath. I read your blog!" I was like "OH MY GOSH really!?!" So cool!!!! So a big shout out to you and I’m sorry I didn’t catch your name and stay to chat because there were 100 hungry bloggers behind me in line!

I also ran into Jill of Glossy-Veneer at the health + fitness meet-up!! She introduced herself across the room and I wanted to jump up and say "I know you!!!!"

The Closing Keynote was awesome. It featured Heather Armstrong and Stephanie Klein (famous bloggers) on their experiences "Living the Truman Show" i.e. how they deal with putting their "lives" under a microscope. They talked a lot about how they deal with negative comments, and I found it really eye opening.

Swanky Event of the Year

Oh my gosh, the Macy’s Event was SO AWESOME!!

Handbags

We started in the Handbag Department with Prosecco and hors d’oeuvres.

DSC01754 DSC01738

DSC01742

I had half a glass (I’m not a huge sparkling person…)

DSC01740

And a plate of cheese , hummus , crackers , apricots and almonds. I had someone I met yesterday catch me mid-photo and say she was watching me to see if I actually a photo of everything I eat. Yes I do!

DSC01741

Mom and me playing in the handbags –

DSC01749

I also tried some sparkling White Jasmine Green Tea by Golden Star . It’s non-alcoholic and low in calorie (not too sweet). I really enjoyed it as a great sub for wine when you’re keeping things light.

DSC01752

Shoes

Stop number two was the shoe department! We enjoyed oops! wines and got these super cute tote bags –

DSC01760 DSC01792

And the food was so creative in shoes! Chinese take-out containers with noodles and veggies. I’m not a huge fan of Asian noodle dishes, but these were outstanding !

DSC01756

There was also gazpatcho (eww raw onion!) and these A.mazing dishes of food – I’m not even sure what to call them! It was layers of guacamole, tomato sauce, olive tapenade, cheese, micro greens and wonton strips to eat it with.

DSC01757

My portions wearing red high heels –

DSC01759

I ate all the noodles and had a second "food heaven" bowl –

DSC01763

And finished mom’s Sauv. Blanc –

DSC01762

Lastly, I sampled a sip of Starbucks’s new Vivanno smoothies in Banana-Chocolate. They were pretty good. Nothing special, in my opinion.

DSC01761

Mannequins

DSC01765

Lingerie

We progressed to the fifth floor to the lingerie department where we were treated to Chocolate-Cayenne Pepper Shots and Macaroons – and KY Jelly galore!! KY are my initials, so I have always had a fondness for KY Jelly 🙂

I had 3 macaroons – one vanilla , one lavender , and one tangerine (unphotographed)

DSC01775 DSC01771

DSC01776 DSC01777

The cayenne shot was really interesting, but not really my cup of tea….er…chocolate. I only had about 1/3.

DSC01774

Furniture

The party ended in furniture . I was disappointed to find no red wine in sight (you can understand why) and had a glass of rose instead.

DSC01784

Although we’d already been to a dessert-y station, there were more appetizers. Being a foodie, I had to give some a try.

Little beef sliders –

DSC01778 DSC01779

Pulled pork + slaw. I’m not really sure why I had the meat items – I think I just didn’t want the night to end. But neither tasted that great.

DSC01790

A Caesar salad tart –

DSC01788

And the best thing on the floor – caramel ice cream cones in a sesame toffee-ish cracker!!

DSC01787

DSC01785

I definitely indulged tonight, but I felt it was definitely a "worth it" event :mrgreen: Plus, I think I did well eating moderately throughout the daytime and of course getting in 4+ miles of running/workouts each day helped keep the balance in check.

I feel like I put on a pound or so over the past week and a half of heavy eating out events, but…..it could just be water weight. But I’m going to do my best to get back to eating fresh, healthy foods this upcoming week. I’m excited to cook again. And can you believe it’s been 3 days since I’ve had oatmeal !!??

We have an early flight in the morning, so we’ll be up at 5:30 again ready for a long subway ride. I’m excited to see my other half again!

    I LOVE the photos in this post – they really made me laugh (esp the one of you posing between the mannequins).. food and shoes, two of my favourite things!

    I’m so impressed with your restraint, I love canapes, but its maybe cos I love to try lots of different flavours when I’m eating – I love going out to restaurants and sharing food, which is one of the reasons I love going to an asian restaurants (apart from the fact I love asian food!). I drive my friends crazy as I always want to try their food – food envy is my greatest enemy.

    The conference looked fab – so great it renewed your interest in blogging – I’m now looking forward to some videos!!

    Oh god, I really must take a second before I post to think – but I wanted to say I think its a good idea that you just remove pointless unnecessary rude posts. I think constructive criticisms are healthy and everyone is entitled to have their opinion and that can contribute to a balanced discussion about stuff. However the comments that are sometimes made are so ridiculously juvenile and pointless that they don’t contribute anything. Someone suggested the other day that we should just ignore them and I agree thats the best thing.

    I loved reading about your SF trip! Really, you do just a great job and love all the photos, and I gotta say my fav (besides Rocco!) was you posing with the mannequins. heehee so funny!

    Most of all, I wanted to say YEAH on the deleting negative comments. For a while I stopped reading the comments because the yuck one! This is YOUR blog and if they want to be snooty or rude, they will have to pick another spot to do so. Good decision, girl!

    Have a great trip home and smooch that man when you walk in the door! 🙂

    I made your Baked Oatmeal Snack Bars the other day and at first thought they seemed really strange (before they baked), but I must tell you they are SO good. I had to hurry and package each one and put it in the freezer so I wouldn’t eat more. LOVED them.
    Trying to get pictures of them posted on my blog sometime today. They photographed really well, too.
    Thanks for the healthy snacks admist my unending desire to bake, bake, bake every kind of goodies!

    i made a veggie burger that was in the martha stewart living magazine last month (it looked so delicious in the magazine) and it was based on portobellos and quinoa (plus grated zucchini). i even skipped putting the onions in! needless to say, it was horrible. i halved the recipe and it still made 6 patties. i had to throw out 5.5 🙁

    the ice cream cone is very cool! i’ve been wanting to do a similar thing with the cesar salad tart, but in a cup made of bacon, but i still am lacking all the necessary tools.

    Don’t worry about the indulging– it’s natural with all the activity and energy at the event. What I’ve always liked about you is the unpretentiousness and heart you find in the places you visit, aka a morning to the farmer’s market on SF. It’s inspiring.

    Wow that sounds like it was a blast!

    I got a free Vivano smoothie the other day and while I agree it’s not the best thing ever, it has a really good nutritional profile. The same type of drink at Jamba has 550 calories and this only has 250 and tastes almost identical. I feel like it’s something that, in a pinch, could work when you’re famished and there aren’t a lot of options. Much better than their baked goods in a pinch! Plus, it’s banana and chocolate-YUM.

    Does your Mom blog? It’s great that she got to go on this trip with you.

    I really enjoy your healthy approach to eating, life and exercise. I’m interested in other blogs with similar interests. When you have time it would be fun to have links to some of the other healthy bloggers you met at the conference.

    Your posts over the past few days have been so much fun to read that I don’t have time to read anymore, so I’m not sure why I’m asking about others, ha ha!!

    Hope you have a safe journey home!

    I was just looking into getting a heart rate monitor. Kath or other readers what kind of heart rate monitor do you have? I want one that will give me an accurate reading but I also don’t want to spend too much money on it. I’ve seen some that are like watches which I think seems more comfortable to wear. Any advice?

You’ve put so much of your heart into this blog and SO many countless hours of work and energy into this! I think it has definitely become a blessing for US AND YOU, as you really have a special gift with people! 🙂 I’m so glad you had a wonderful time (and you had the Boca girl in “celeb-sighting shock”!

    First off, I think this was the most visually appealing post yet! Pictures of food are great and all… but everything was so classy and cute AND Coach and heels in the backgrounds? Love it!

    Also, I wanted to chime in on the mineral make up. I was pretty loyal to bare minerals for a year and then drugstore brands picked up on the mineral make up so I decided to try one since they are considerably cheaper and I fell in love with L’Oreals minteral make up! The bare escential BRUSHES are amazing but I think the L’Oreal stuff is better with my skin as well (I also found I was still breaking out and such).

    I had one question (anyone can answer; and it is kind of a dumb question) – my dad refuses to let me chew gum when I run for fear that it may get dislodged and I will choke on the gum. Is this a plausible scenario, or is chewing gum while running/exercising relatively safe? I guess to be on the safe side, I could just not chew gum while exercising, but I wanted to know if anyone else does it. Thanks!

    I actually have a different opinion on the moderation of comments than everyone else. If there was some magical way to block them before you saw them as to spare you the annoyance/anger/self-doubt what have you I’d be all for it. But the unfortunate thing about those lame-o comments is that YOU have to see them. Once it’s gone to that point why not give your nonbitter readers a chance to offer up support? Reading them alone seems lonely somehow! I agree that everyone doesn’t need to jump on the correction bandwagon; creating a monster 300+ comments post. But it seems worthwhile to allow some discussion.

    Oh don’t stop with the chocolate banana Vivanno, please! The orange mango banana is where it’s at. I promise. The first time I had one, I wasn’t too too thrilled about it… but the second one and on, I’m seriously addicted. I have one every workday for breakfast. They have 16g of protein, 6g of fiber, only 210cals [I get mine with nonfat, instead of the standard 2%], and they have a fresh banana in them… and they’re so creamy and delicious. Oh my goodness. The chocolate one does those things NO justice. =] Pleaseeee try the orange mango one!

    That blouse and skirt is really flattering on you Kath, you look super tiny to me – I wouldn’t worry about the indulgences 🙂

    emily, re: comment moderation. I see your point! I’d feel just as horrible reading mean comments on my blog and then deleting them then if I just left them on. But the problem is when I mean comment is left, soo many other “de-lurk” to leave their own mean comments they probably wouldn’t have bothered with if someone else didn’t “be mean first.” The support is great, but also bear in mind that other negative people will come out to support whatever the catty remark was!

    Oh and Kath, lol, I made an oatmeal pancake this morning. It was my first time, and it went kind of funny, but thanks for the inspiration and if you wanna read about it you can check out my blog 🙂

    hk ,
    I’m coming to Boston Aug. 21-24 and will be coordinating a lunch or dinner soon!

    Katrina ,
    Glad you liked the bars! They do photograph well 🙂

    Chelsea ,
    I’ve got 4 Vivanno coupons so I might have to try them again!

    Lisa ,
    Mom doesn’t have a blog but she’s a writer and thought it would be a good experience (and keep me company in the hotel!) She’s thinking about starting a blog though, so it was good for learning.

    BethT ,
    Yep, it was THE KY jelly 🙂

    Thanks Julz 🙂

    Sue ,
    Sony Cybershot – I need a new one, as it’s getting rather dingy and I learned from the conference I need a better lens camera!

    MKM ,
    I would think with all the heavy breathing during running that it would be easier to choke, but I’ve never really read anything about it. I would say it’s your choice.

    emily,
    Nice of you to think of me, but it’s less embarrassing to read them in private than in public – even if they are ridiculous. But luckily I don’t get very many troll comments in general.

    Question: When you are cooking with wine, do you count the calories the same as if you were drinking it. I ask this because if you heat it and simmer it and burn off the alcohol do you get rid of any calories….or is that just wishful thinking on my part?? Thanks.

    I just got back from vacation as well and have missed all the excitement from your trip. I kept thinking about not having oatmeal either… I missed it so much. Happy travels back home and do remember all you learned. No need for rudeness and ugliness. This is a great source of inspiration, motivation, and great new perspectives for many of us. No room for anything else. I’m glad you shared it with your Mom too, I miss mine.

    Allison ,
    That’s actually a question I still have. I heard once that the calories do burn off, but I’m really not sure so if I’m calculating a recipe I usually just include the full amount to be conservative.

    EGN,
    Lol. I was so surprised they let us all over the fancy handbags and shoes too! I saw a lamp get broken in furniture. I wonder if BlogHer had a deal to pay for damages?

    I missed the cheese in the handbag department and I’m so sad about it now that I’ve seen it on here! 😉

    I thought the KY promotion was funny. I told my husband I brought him back a souvenir from SF with that! He thought that was pretty funny.

    It was so great to meet you!
