Today was the first meet up for the OC Fitbloggin group. Anyone who blogs or reads blogs was welcome to a local meet up of healthy living bloggers
Since I originally organized the event I decided it should be at my favorite place in the world… Yogurtland! Not just because I’m selfish, but also because I want to share the Yogurtlove with everyone I can.
Luckily, everyone else that came are already huge fans of the ‘land so we were all happy! Especially Janae. Who was greeted by name when she walked in and paid with a Yogurtland Platinum card. I didn’t even though they had those!
Most of the time I try to be a little “good” with self serve fro-yo (so I can justify coming back the next day). But, today all bets were off. I am an eating machine today.
Janae and Sarah make gorgeous fro-yo models. Heck, they make gorgeous any kind of models hence the reason I made sure to take this pic and not be in it.
After enjoying our yogurt we chatted outside for over an hour!

We tried to be funny. Tried is the key word there.
On the way home I got hungry. Like suddenly I was super hungry and unhappy about it. So, I suggested stopping for food, but Ben vetoed it because we’re trying to spend less money.
We went home and I started to make something, but ended up realizing I really really wanted fish tacos and dropped everything to go get them.
I couldn’t even take a non-blurry picture because I was so hungry. I almost started to cry about it. Something’s wrong with me, but I think we all realize that.
Chips and guacamole (I thought it was important to label this picture in case you’re not aware of this staple in my diet).
But, Wahoo’s forgot that magic white sauce somehow and they were just okay After my crying fit and everything this was a slight disappointment. Boo.
I stole some of Ben’s cheese tortellini and am still hungry. Or, as Theodora said – I’m “Run-gry”. Maybe. But, normally I am super hungry the day after a long run. I hope it’s not both this week!
I am RUNGRY!!! Hide your food.
Also hide your kids, hide your wife…
Sandra says
Holy Cow, that is the single funniest news clip ever. Amazing!
Theodora says
And now I’m craving tortellini. Thanks. I’m also still feeling run-gry.
The Healthy Engineer says
I went to my first meet up yesterday and even though I shouldn’t be, I was so surprised how good all of the food was!!
Meet ups at Yogurtland seems like a great tradition! I want a platinum card now.
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
It was great to finally meet you! I didn’t know you ran so far yesterday morning- the last time I went to Yogurtland after a long run I decided that my portion was not satisfactory and went back and bought another cup 🙂
If you like that video, I think you’ll appreciate this…

Wahoos is my favorite fast food place! I love that they have tofu tacos.
Amber K says
I totally had a weird food meltdown yesterday too. Uh oh, I gotta stay away from reading blogs for awhile or ALL of our cycles will start to sync. Actually wait, I haven’t had one in years, now I must attach myself to those who do! Okay, this comment has now sent me into some sort of weird stalker mode. I’ll quickly leave now.
Savannah(Sweet and Savvy) says
I want a yogurt land!! That looks amazing!
Miranda @ Working Mom Works Out says
Haha. I love Antione Dodson. FOR REAL.
Holly @ Pink-Runner.com says
Yummm fish tacos! Looks like you guys had fun at your Yogurtland meet up!
Sarah @ Food and Love Diaries says
Someone needs to organize a NYC Fitbloggin meet-up at 16 Handles ASAP.
Trisha says
I always get slightly jealous when I see all the meet-ups that the OC fitbloggin group seems to do. How awesome.
I love Antonie!! I hadn’t watched that clip in a while & it makes me laugh SO hard no matter how much I watch it.
Christy says
That video is hilarious! My brother couldn’t stop playing it when it first came out. He had my nephews singing it. lol
Julia says
Weird, afterwards all I wanted was fish tacos too. With truck loads of chips and guac. SO we had mexican for dinner, good choice 🙂 Oh gosh, that video…Kevin and Bean make fun of that guy ALL the time, it cracks me UP!
Sarah says
Rungry – I love that word … it expresses so much!
Love the video clip – hilarious 🙂
alison says
I need a YogurtLand in my life stat. I’m glad you had a fun meet up but I’m sorry your dinner was disappointing. I hate when that happens!
Katie @ cooklaughmove says
My sister and I watched Antoine about 10 times in a row when we first saw that video. OMG! We couldn’t stop laughing, I was crying!
Floey says
Omg that place is RIGHT across the street from my apartment!!! hahaha. Too bad I’m not a fitblogger/ruunner or I totally would have joined in! 🙂 I frequent that YL after classes during the school year 🙂
lynn @ the actor's diet says
wow i had no idea there were so many socal bloggers! and a platinum yogurtland card – want one of those…
courtney (pancakes and postcards) says
So fun! I went to Susan’s house and it was still fun despite previously stated lack of froyo machine 🙂
janae @hungryrunnergirl.com says
NO WHITE SAUCE…..I think you should SUE….BOOO!!! I had so much fun with you today and I KNOW exactly what you are talking about with the whole rungry….BOTTOMLESS PIT!!! Long runs will do that to you!
runeatrepeat says
I am eating cereal as I type this…
janae @hungryrunnergirl.com says
and I am eating granola as I type this:)
rumfunandsun says
I heart Antione! I also love Daniel Tosh is that where you saw this?
Also very jealous of the awesome get together why can’t I be a super cool SoCal blogger? 🙂
Kayla @ Sprouty Buns says
Oh Yogurtland will always have a very special place in my heart! I’m most recently obsessed with mint chocolate chip and red velvet, yummmmm. I absolutely love your blog posts and sense of humor! I literally laugh out loud at some of your comments (yes, sometimes in public places). 🙂
runeatrepeat says
Thanks 🙂
Denise says
Hi Susan, I missed you guys, too 🙂
Thank you so much for putting the event today together, Monica, and for making me feel welcome even as a last minute addition. I think I’m glad we don’t have yogurtland here yet…that place could be very dangerous!
runeatrepeat says
That wasn’t even the “good” yogurtland – there is one within walking distance to my house that’s bigger!
Marlon @MeInTheBalance says
We’ll have to have the next meet up at the “good” Yogurtland near your house… It’s totally worth the drive!
Marlon @MeInTheBalance says
It was great to see you and Ben again. I’m glad I got to meet everyone else, too! At first I was a little tentative about possibly being the only male blogger there, but I would have really regretted not coming. Thanks for getting the ball rolling on this meet-up. I’m looking forward to the next one!
P.S. Had I known your brother was going to be there, I would have brought my son!
runeatrepeat says
I know! I didn’t think about it until last minute, but I thought to tell you. He would have had someone to talk to and then Ben woulda stuck around.
Nice to see you again!
Melissa @ TryingToHeal says
have you noticed if yogurtland has sorbets there in fro yo form? if they do i’m gonna be stoked because i found a place in bakersfield that did and it means I can eat the deliciousness again!!! 🙂
sad i didn’t know about the meetup. I could ahve tried to have come since I wasn’t doing much at home this weekend.
runeatrepeat says
I was going to call you yesterday to check if you were in town too! Sorry 🙁
These places don’t do sorbet. Are you not doing any dairy?
Melissa @ TryingToHeal says
boo…yogurtland needs fro-yo sorbet style! And yep, I’m not doing any dairy at all, not even caisin. the stuff wrecks havoc on my system and i feel horrible. so no dairy at all….I miss my fro-yo.
Stephanie says
Yum I love these yogurt places! I know those hungry days suck, just eat the things that fill you upmthe most and gomwi it. If u r that hungry, your body is telling unsomething
Foodie McBody says
OMG I love that you met at a froyo place!! How brilliant of you! I’m gonna do that next time. Whose idea was it to meet at my house?? We have no froyo machines. Oh yeah, MY idea. Seriously, we in NorCal had a lot of fun too (and you stole one of our attendees! Hi Denise!) and I’m about to write my recap. So glad you had a great turnout!!
runeatrepeat says
Now that you put the idea in my head, I want a fro-yo machine in my house!
