Get out your calendars.
Grab your FiloFax (anyone? Im all about the technology. I love my Google calendar. I still pine for the FiloFax days…)
I come bearing information, freebie-foreshadowing, and a recipe.
Tomorrow.
February 16th. (11 am CENTRAL/Noon EASTERN/9a PACIFIC)
Im hosting a Twitter chat: Easy Changes for Heart Health Month.
Never participated in a Twitter chat?
Here’s all you need to know about tomorrow and chats in general:
- Tweetchat is your friend. Go to Tweetchat, enter the hashtag EBwhites at the top and you’re in! TIP: you can do this any time to follow the #EBwhites hashtag not only during the chat.
- It’s a H.I.I.T. chat. What I mean by that is we’re going fast & furious for thirty minutes. Join us during breakfast if youre on the west coast! Pop in for a lunchbreak if you’re in the central/eastern timezones. Ive structured a fast paced, fun, *energizing* chat so we all leave after 30 READY to wrangle our day.
- There will be EGG BEATERS 100% EGG WHITES given away to a randomly drawn participant.
- Completely baffled by all things TWITTER? No worries. Here’s your cheat-sheet. Youve got plenty of time to get up to speed by tomorrow.
We will all get a chance to HANG OUT in real time and not in blog comments. It will be like a 30 minute mini-chatty FITBLOGGIN12. COME! COME!
Now if youre anything like I am, whether it’s 9a your time or noon, it’s snacktime.
If all looks pretty (read: there’s a reason Im not a food blogger. My food *tastes* yummy & looks messy.) I shall share pics during the chat as here’s what I will be eating while I tweet:
Egg Beaters 100% Egg Whites Protein Pancake (A MizFit concoction):
1 cup Egg Beaters 100% egg whites
1/4 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup dry oatmeal
1/3 cup protein powder (ANY BRAND. Read the label. You can use FLAVORED I choose not to because of unnecessary sugars.)
A smattering of frozen/fresh fruit (or honey. or agave. you get the THIS IS TO SWEETEN idea)
Blend the above concoction in a blender and make like traditional pancakes.
Eat sans-syrup rolled up while you tweet.
Now you.
Baffled by my ability to blend such few ingredients and make a pancake?
Willing to buy me a purple FiloFax even if I only carry it in an homage to the 80’s?
Confused at all by the world of twitter chats?
You know what to do…
Erica says
February 15, 2012 at 5:54 amI want to try those pancakes! I’ve been eating a lot of hard boiled eggs lately, but I’m missing a good scramble. I should pick up some beaters

Reen says
February 15, 2012 at 6:40 amI would love to join in! I have never “got it” as far as Twitter. It’s like a foreign language to me. I need a “Twitter” class.
Miz says
February 15, 2012 at 6:42 amME EITHER. Until it finally clicked. The links above really will help too.
Eva says

Karen@WaistingTime says
February 15, 2012 at 7:13 amWas you blog down again!? Eek. I made something this week with “egg substitute” and fat free ricotta cheese, some vanilla, splenda, cinnamon, and a bit of flax meal. It was supposed to be pancake-like but ended up more like sweetened eggs:) But it was good.
Miz says
February 15, 2012 at 7:16 amyes ma’am. we do share those technical struggles huh?
Sweeeeet eggs sounnds good to m (what does that say about me? Not sure…)
I wonder if the protein powder makes mine more cake’y?
Jody - Fit at 54 says
February 15, 2012 at 7:28 amWill try Carla depending on sleep – I really would love to be in on this one – just not sure I will be awake! 😉
The Tweetchat confused me last time I used it – could not figure out how to keep up & where to write my twitter comment.. I am so bad!
On that FiloFax – is that like a DayTimer which I used to use! 🙂
Deborah (Schmiet) says
February 15, 2012 at 7:44 amI miss Filofaxes. *Sigh*
Sadly the time difference also precludes me from some Twitter chats. Though I can usually check in at the end of the day and revisit some of the conversation!
Kris @Krazy_Kris says
February 15, 2012 at 7:51 amooooh! pancakes with cottage cheese? you are brilliant!
and uh, you know I love a good chat…
I’m still hoping to land myself in jail, but alas…
It has not happened yet 🙂
Olive says
February 15, 2012 at 8:25 amI’ll let you know how the pancakes turn out.
See you tomorrow at chat!
Cat @Breakfast to Bed says

Tara Burner says
February 15, 2012 at 9:19 amI love twitter chats…if someone can maybe possibly text me at 954-549-3393 to remind me about 15 mins beforehand I’ll try to be there..that’s noon my time and usually in midst of chaos thats why I hardly ever get on ‘daytime’ chats 🙁
Savannah says
