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? :)
About time!! :) Actually, I have to confess that I haven’t ordered your go bars (yet), but they look very yummy – and I have made some of your recipes and they were all really good . .. so how could a health store turn you down. Time for a week celebration methinks!! :)
That’s so exciting! Congratulations.
I HAVE gone skydiving and it was the best experience ever! You MUST try it—I’m scared of heights too, I swear!
Congratulations! That is fantastic! :)
Congrats Angela!!! Nice to see all your hard work pay off :)
Congrats, Angela! That is so incredibly exciting :)
Congratulations on the Glo Bars. Whoever can buy them in stores is so lucky!
Oh wow congrats!! Thats awesome news. I would TOTALLY go in and buy them if I lived in the area. But Vancouver to Ontario is quite the commute!! :)
Congrats on the Glo bars! I like the idea of 2 posts a day, I normally check OSG when I get online just incase you’ve posted again since I got on last :p I picked qualify for Boston…that’s my “secret life goal”. I also have always said the only reason I would get a tattoo is if I ran Boston, maybe one day!
That is amazing news Angela! Congratulations, I am so happy for you!
Congratulations!!! That is very exciting news. :)
I would definitely skydive b/c I don’t think my leg injury could handle the training for any of the others!
Congratulations on your Glo Bars! How exciting!!
I have got to say, the little bowl and the bunny spoon from your previous post are so cute!
Best of luck!
Congrats Ange, that#s a-maz-ing!! Don’t suppose you have any plans to ship Glo bars to the UK anytime soon? I’m literally dying to try one!
Congratulations, and I can only chime in with the others: tell us when they are available for shipping to other places :-) untill then, hope sales will be terrific. Thanks for the health news, and love your food, easy and inspiring ;-)
I’m from Thornhill and I totally know which health food store you’re talking about (I think!!). Congrats!! I know that place is super popular and very busy, especially since it’s one of the few really good health food stores up that way (besides the Planet Organics chains). Very exciting! The next time I am up to visit my parents I will stop in and buy one of your bars :)
wow, congrats on having your glo bars sold in a store!!! i would love to have them here in austria too :) have a nice day!!
Congrats lady!!! I’ll be sure to stop by and pick some up as soon as you let me know when they’re going to be on the shelves :D
Congrats, Ange!!! SO happy for ya! Though I knew it would happen :D
I picked same as you – for the same reason!
Congratulations! That is awesome big news!!!!
