Man, I did NOT sleep well last night!! I woke up at 4:30 with gross wine mouth and no amount of water would fix it. I didn’t have a body hangover – it’s just that I can taste wine like I could taste onions and every breath is difficult to handle! I laid awake for over an hour – and actually did some blog reading!! HA! The only thing I could think about was a banana I’d brought from home, so I got up and ate half. It helped!!
And being a crazy food blogger, I took a picture
With the help of banana love, my sleep mask and deep breathing, I finally did fall back asleep. And when the alarm went off at 7 I woke up feeling less than stellar. When I found Tina + Jenna + Heather at my door at 7:15 to go workout, we all vented.
But once we stepped outside it was GORGEOUS!
Cool and sunny
We walked a brisk 8 minute power walk to HealthWorks, which gave us a handful of passes to use while we’re here for the Summit.
It’s a women’s health center and was top of the line!
I spent 30 minutes on the Stairmaster and felt EONS better afterwards. Yeah gross morning me:
The Floridians went running and met us there. Everyone got their fitness on! Thanks HealthWorks 🙂
I had just enough time for some biceps and shoulders before we raced out with growling stomachs
We decided to go straight to breakfast all sweaty so we wouldn’t have to rush to get dressed. TIna directed us to the cutest corner breakfast spot EVER – Mike + Patty’s
The space is tiny, so it feels just like you’re in someone’s kitchen.
And the food was out of this world!!
We all started with coffees (and tea for Meghann!)
When I saw their yogurt bowl was made with plain greek yogurt, I knew that’s just what I wanted. Topped with blueberries, granola and maple syrup!!
It was fabulous and I ate the whole bowl minus a puddle of maple on the bottom
Heather got one too!
After seeing the Grilled Banana Sandwich on the menu, though, I knew I had to try that as well. I got one for the table to share
It tasted even better than it looks!!! The bananas were puffs of marshmallow delight
I had 1/4 of it
We all left 100% satisfied and want to go back for breakfast for lunch!
I’m hoping in the shower to get ready before we have a full day of Summit preparations and a fun lunch to attend!
Hasta la vista

Exercising always helps! All my friends think I’m crazy for getting up at 6 in the morning after a long night out drinking just so I can get a run in. That breakfast sandwich looks divine!
Courtney says
I LOVE the worker guys in the background checking out the ladies walking to the gym! HA! Classic!
You guys look great..the HLS looks like it will be a lot of fun. And that banana sammy looks delish even though I’m not the biggest fan of bananas!
Lizzy says
Isnt that the worst feeling waking up, with a cotton mouth(or wine mouth)? ahh. but i’m glad you fixed the problem!
the gym looks so cute! how cool that healthworks gave you girls passes for the weekend! so awesome
and um breakfast = jealousy! uhh it looks amazing! yogurt bowl and the banana sammy. holy cow! 🙂 have a wonderful afternoon!!!!!!
jess says
I love seeing all the recaps from the different perspectives!
That yogurt bowl looks great and I’m so jealous of all the amazing food you guys are having! 🙂
Megan (The Runner's Kitchen) says
OMG. grilled banana sandwich. did it have peanut butter in it?? i’ve often thought about making a pb & b sammie on my george foreman.
sometimes when i can’t sleep, i have a little snack (1/2 banana, small bowl of cereal, etc) and it really helps me get some more z’s.
Madelin @ What is for breakfast? says
The banana sandwich looks so good!!!! Have a great time at the Summit!
Cait (Cait's Plate) says
Haha yay for Healthworks! Looks like you guys had a blast.
And hah – I LOVE that you took the banana picture. Too funny. My go-tos when I can’t sleep are usually apples or cereal and milk. And a sleep mask of course. It’s the key 😉
I’ve never been to Mike + Patty’s but I’ve heard it’s amazing. I gotta go next time I’m visiting my sister up there!
Allison K says
you all look like you are having so much fun!
Shannon The Healthy Beach Bum says
Hope you’re feeling better after that restless night 🙁 Glad the gym helped a bit! You are all so inspirational and I love following your exciting Summit weekend. The blueberries on top of your yogurt bowls look amazing! As does the grilled nanner sandwich.. I bet Elvis would have loved that! I think that was his favorite meal 🙂 Enjoy your day!
PS I love how you call them the Floridians lol. It makes me chuckle every time. I live right outside of Tampa so I guess that makes me one of those Floridians 🙂
Christie @ Quit Your Diet says
Yikes, sorry about the wine mouth 🙁
Everything else looks awesome. I remember reading about that place on Tina’s blog before.
Enjoy the rest of the day!
Kristin @ Iowa Girl Eats says

Daria (Summer of the CSAs) says
God I miss my Healthworks membership. I can’t afford it anymore, but it was great while it lasted!
Cassie says
Both of those meals look DELICIOUS!
I hate the feeling of waking up with wine mouth… so depressing especially since the night leading up to it is usually so splendid!
Jenna says
looks like you girls had a fab work out! i love the picture with the construction guys staring at you bloggers 😉
Deva says
Oh yum – your breakfast looks fantastic! This post reminded me that I need to get to the gym or at least on a run tonight 🙂

Now I’m feeling guilty that we had a few drinks last night and forgot to set the alarm to go work out-you’ve got me beat at motivation 🙂

Sounds like a fun morning. Have fun tonight!
Sarah says
I love “following” you guys during the Summit — just wish I could be there. Have a great time!
Nicole says
Kath, I love how creative your pics are! Healthworks is such a purdy gym – I kinda wish I belonged there now. Cotton mouth sucks but bed spins are the absolute worse! But nothing helps more than a nice sweaty workout. See you tonight!
MarathonVal says
What a great time so far!!! I appreciate you taking the time to take pix, post pix, and post on your blog – I know it’s tough to do so when you are on vacation, especially a “working vacation” for you guys like the HLS!
Hope today is a great day for everyone there!
Pam (Highway to Health) says
I NEED to go there for breakfast! That looks amazing!
Jenn (www. j3nn.net ) says
SO awesome!! Love all the pics… so much fun!

Anne Marie@Her New Weigh says
looks like everyone is having a great time! i love the pics!
Food Vigilante says
Love KERF! I work with a WordPress blog myself, love what you’ve done with yours. – When I imbibe too much wine I try very hard to maintain some morsel of sobriety so that I remember to guzzle two big glasses of water just before bed. It really helps. Also, much better to wake up to have to use the bathroom than waking up woth the dreaded wine mouth!

Jess says
What else is in that sandwich? Chocolate? Looks amazing.
Sonia says

And I love the breakfast… I’m reading this kind of late in the day, and I’m sure you’ve been having fun… 🙂
