Egg patties.
That was the “main course” at the hotel’s breakfast buffets. I’m pretty sure the words egg and patty should never be used together.
Clearly I opted out of the main meal and made myself a bowl of peanut butter oats instead.
I love peanut butter oatmeal fills me up for hours!
I also had about half of a Belgian waffle, topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon and syrup.
I ate my breakfast while sipping on a hot mug of pomegranate green tea.
Rising Above the Negativity Survey
As you may already know, in two weeks I will be attending the Healthy Living Summit in Philadelphia and will be speaking with three fellow bloggers – the wonderful Heather, Brittany and Courtney – all about Rising Above Negativity.
Our presentation will discuss the darker side of blogging: Negative comments, mean-spirited emails, snarky tweets and media backlash.
We would love to have some statistical information collected from fellow bloggers to use in our presentation, so if you’re a blogger and wouldn’t mind taking this brief 10-question anonymous survey (it’s REALLY easy!), we would all be very, very grateful.
Here’s a link to the survey:
Again, THANK YOU for your participation! We all really appreciate it and can’t wait to use the results in a bangin’ presentation. Oh, boooy, now the pressure is ON! 
![\"Quantcast\"/](\"//pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-1e3-7hOJ_U8Bg.gif\")
Done! You will be a fantastic speaker!
thank you!!
thank you! i’m really looking forward to it! 🙂
I wish I could meet you and hear you speak! I already filled out the survey 🙂
Oooooohh pom green tea! I’m going to have to add this to my grocery list!
What IS an egg patty?? PB definitely sounds like the better option!
it was like a round, yellow… cake? i don’t even know. i can’t describe it other than say it looked like death.
Egg patty: see inside of drive-thru breakfast sandwich 😉
Already took this survey from Courtney’s blog 🙂
Best of luck!
Already took it! Good luck with it!
Belgian waffles … being a Belgian reader, i had to come out of lurkdom on this 😉
I’m a busy mom of 4 and i’ve been following your blog for quite a while, absolutely love the positivity and joy for life that shines through in your blog!
Took the survey. Wish I could be there to hear you girls speak! Egg patties remind me of dunkins and as much as I love dunkins watching them make their breakfast food totally freaks me out.
Just took the survey- good luck speaking at the Summit!
I stay away from hotel egg patties *shudder* your oats def look like the better option 🙂
Eww egg patties! They’re probably so processed. Good choice with the pb oatmeal!
mmm Belgian waffles are amazing…my favorite is to top them with peanut butter, cinnamon, and honey!
Done!! That waffle looks fantasticccc
PB oats are the best… I love how it keeps me so full too!
I did the survey! I hope it helps out. I know I’ve definitely received my share of anon hate and had to turn the option off just to keep it out..
Took the survey! Can’t wait to hear your presentation! 🙂
However I won’t be at HLS, will you post your presentation online?
I”ve microwaved eggwhites before and they end up looking like round patties…but I only eat them when I’VE made them. I don’t trust egg patty things from anywhere else. Gah.
Taking the survey!
Will take the survey now! I actually quite enjoy answering surveys 🙂
Done 🙂 I haven’t had my blog for very long but I thought it might help anyway! Good luck with the presentation!
Taking the survey! You girls are going to be great. Sorry i’m missing it.
Oatmeal and PB is always a great “go to” that seems to always hit the spot!
Survey is done! You gals will be great!
Filled in the survey. Hope it’s of help. Please make sure to tape your speech, I would love to see it!
Peanut butter oatmeal seriously is the best when it comes to holding you over. I love it.
Just took the survey – hope it helps! Such a great topic to discuss 🙂
I believe I used to be a fan of egg patties in the form of the infamous Egg McMuffin sandwich. Whenever my family would take a road trip, we’d get the green light to “indulge” in a Micky D’s morning meal. I shiver thinking about what I was putting into my body!
Peanut butter oatmeal is a much better way to start the day. 🙂 I’m off to take the survey…Looking forward to hearing you speak in two weeks!
Unfortunately I can’t help you out with the survey because I don’t have a blog…but I can’t believe anyone would write you mean comments/emails! Seriously, you come across on your blog as such a sweet and sensible person, where would meanies even pull their material from?
you’d be surprised. there are people out there whose goal in life seems to be to tear others down. 🙁
Overnight oats with chocolate PB protein powder for me this morning, NATURALLY another spoonful of peanut butter was added as well 😛
Sounds like it will be an interesting topic to hear about!
took it- hope it helps! yum that waffle looks great
Did the survey! 😀
What in the world is an egg patty?
I have a confession…I make egg patties. haha. I’m not sure if that’s what was on the menu at your hotel, but I crack two eggs into my pyrex measuring cup, add cheese in the center and then microwave them for a minute and a half. When you slide it onto a plate, it looks kinda’ like a supersized version of what you’d get on an egg mcmuffin. Except with more awesome.
Oh cool!
I will do it 🙂 Love your b-fast!! And good luck with the speaking assignment–can’t wait to hear about it!
You can do it! You’re going to be an amazing speaker!! good luck 🙂
Good luck! Please share with us what you end up speaking about (of course you will 🙂 )
you bet i will!
Done! Hopefully those of us not at HLS will be able to see part of your presentation? Can’t wait!
that was an interesting survey!! I talked a lot about LOVE haha. Hey, it sounds cheesy/lame but it’s possible! 😀
And oats are never not good in the morning–or ever hehe
DONE – I hope the presentation goes well – I know it will!
I love how peanut butter oats fill me up too! So good.
Do you think you’ll be able to post a transcript of your speech at the HLS? It would be really interesting to read what the 4 of you have to say on negative comments! I’m just a new blogger, but from what I’ve read on other blogs, some people can be really cruel. Those types of comments are very unnecessary in the blogger community, I think!
i definitely hope to post a recap afterwards!
Julie, you are a natural and you will do an amazing job speaking at the conference. You wouldn’t have been asked to participate if they didn’t have faith in you.
Just remember that you are awesome and that you always achieve anything you set your mind to 🙂
Took the survey and can’t wait to meet you at HLS!!!!!
