I want to scream it at the top of my lungs…
BIG NEWS! GLO BARS WILL OFFICIALLY BE SOLD IN A STORE!! :mrgreen:
It was so much hard work to get here and I finally got my first order today for Glo Bars to be carried in a large health food store in Thornhill, Ontario. This health food store is amazing and I couldn’t be more proud to have my bars on their shelves. However, I don’t want to jinx myself, so I am going to wait until the bars are actually on the store shelves before I tell you where they will be sold! I hope that those of you in the area will stop by next week and show your support! :) I will be revealing the exact location shortly…
Whew. Very exciting morning.
In other news, I am trying to post twice a day now. I am testing it out to see how it goes! My goal is shorter and more frequent posts. I think this will be more manageable for me rather than one huge post a day. No promises yet though! ;)
Breakfast was another Carrot Cake Green Monster. Lunch was quick, healthy, and delicious…
Amy’s Reduced-sodium Split pea soup:
Mary’s Crackers with hummus:
Red Pepper with balsamic:
High in iron—MULBERRIES!
Stems and all. ;)
I did not have time to do a health news round up while away on vacation so I thought I would put one together today to catch up on some great health links from the past week!

Tough one, eh?? :)
I picked win a race of any distance because that is probably the least likely for me. However, one of my shorter term goals is to come in the top three in my age group. I did that for my first race- a fairly small 10k- and I would like to do it again! What did you pick?
Today is another rest day for me because I am a bit sore from my 10k mock race yesterday! Need to rest up in case I end up racing this weekend… :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts on how far you will drive for a race! It was fun to read. I would love to organize a big race meet-up at some point. I have always wanted to run a race in San Francisco—anyone have any good races to suggest? :)
CONGRATS ANGE!!!!! Wow that’s big. Go you!!
Congratulations on your big news!!! That’s awesome.
WOW!!! YAY!!!
My guess: Planet Organic. I’ll find out soon enough if I’m right! ;)
Woot woot!!! That is truly awesome. How a year can change things, right?? I’m like you with the jinxes, so don’t disclose the name of the shop until they’re on the shelf–and then toast to your success in the aisle next to them :-)
HURRAY!!! that’s so amazing…it’s so great to see all of your hard work STILL paying off big time! can’t wait for the bars to be sold in stores in the US too (soon i bet!)
Congrats Ange! :)
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Woohooo!!
I would love to accomplish all of the options above but I chose complete a triathalon because I’ve always wanted to do one. Hopefully this summer I will at least do a sprint tri.
Congrats, Angela!! So amazing, and I’m so thrilled for you! As always, gracias for the health news round up. I love when you do them!
Congratulations, Angela! I can’t wait to find out the location. I’ve always wanted to try your bars, and since my sister lives in Thornhill, I’d love to pick up a few to try when I visit her!
Congratulations! That’s such a huge deal:) I can’t wait for them to be sold in Florida;)
CONGRATS!!! it is so amazing since i’ve been following you since before the bars even existed. I love to read the transformation of your business. can’t wait to see them at the big stores, like whole foods!!!:):)
CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is a BIG deal! Way to go =)
Congratulations Angela! Can’t wait to see Glo bars in a store in Vancouver one day!
I just signed up for the San Francisco Women’s Marathon which is on October 17th this year, there is a half marathon as well. Best thing about this race is that you get a Tiffany & co. finishers necklace!! Its a lottery though so will have to wait and see if I get a place. Here is the link for it: http://inside.nike.com/blogs/nikerunning_events-en_US/?tags=nike_womens_marathon_2010
Congratulations!
I would also love to win a race of any distance…it is probably the least likely for me, aside from skydiving, which I would never be able to do. It seems incredibly scary.
CONGRATS!!!
and come to SF!!!!! there are lots of fun races here :)
Oh my gosh, congratulations Angela!!! I’m so excited for you! :)
Congrats that is SO exciting! I said finish a marathon….you never know I guess :-)
Holy cow!!! That’s BIG news!!! Big congrats, girl!
Congratulations! That is amazing!
Well that’s it — I’m moving to Canada! Any chance you can get a US store to carry them? ;)
Only kidding — this accomplishment is huge and you should be incredibly proud of all your hard work!
