I finally carved my pumpkin. I’m much more concerned with the seeds than the face. :) I made my two favorite seeds: Sugar and Spice Pumpkin Seeds (for 1 pumpkin’s worth): Two heaping spoonfuls of brown sugar 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon Two tablespoons of water Original Pumpkin Seeds (for 1 pumpkin’s worth): [...]

Last night was my brother-in-law Nick’s 21st Birthday celebration! It was quite the experience. :) We started things off at Dexter’s, a cute little restaurant in downtown Orlando. Dexter’s has good drinks, yummy food, AND it’s only a rickshaw ride away from the clubs. I started off with an Upside Down Pineapple Cake Martini. I [...]
Although I was on cloud nine after my 17.0 mile run, I quickly came crashing back to Earth. As mentioned, I’ve been going through a rough time with my “womanly exams†lately. My annual pap smear revealed “abnormal†cells or “pre-pre-cancerous†cells. Then on the 22nd, I went in for a colposcopy, which is [...]
Please watch this until at least 1:05. It brought on the MAJOR LOLs for me. HAHAH she won’t sit down in it! See why I like to run 17 miles with Megan? She makes me laugh. :) Oh, PS – I am not woman enough to take ice baths.
Previous long runs for Marathon Training: One Way Ticket to Double Digitland (10 miles) Eleven with the Ladies A Hellish Half Marathon Fabulous Fourteen Sweaty Sixteen I had an awesome long run this morning. It was totally one for the Caitlin record books. :) One of the key differences in today’s long run [...]
I’m currently running 17.0 miles, so I thought I’d leave you with a 5 Facts about Maggie post since the 5 Facts about James post was so popular. :) Fact 1: Maggie has a really weird body. Not just regular dachshund-weird, but extra weird. For example, she only has 7 nipples (circled below). She [...]
The digestion system is so, so weird. There’s something about the guts that just freak me out. My lab partner makes an excellent model. :) Tonight’s anatomy lab was filled with tons of information about poop. Of course, I asked why marathoners poop themselves sometimes, and everyone turned around and looked at me like -- [...]
Did you know that October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month? Animal shelters in America take in 10 million dogs a YEAR! That’s a lot of furry friends that need love. Both of our doggies were rescued, but James is from a real animal control shelter and Maggie is from an independent group. In [...]
I had a Spanish-inspired lunch: I have been CRAVING yellow rice for days. Black beans with yellow rice is such an awesome combination. Nom, nom, nom. With a side of green beans for some color. Is Your BMI Number BS? This morning, I was doing some research on the BMI scale for the [...]
Update your Google Readers! www.healthytippingpoint.com/feed Sorry for the delay in posting. :( My Internet was down all morning, which was so frustrating because I live and breathe my computer. My technical issues did mean that I had time to clean the house AND make a yummy breakfast: I love whole wheat waffles, but I [...]
Tonight, the Husband, my brother-in-law Nick, our friend Harry, and I went shopping for Halloween costumes. Why are all the girl costumes “sexy� I’m not saying there is anything wrong with a little oh-la-la in your costume, but it’s just not what I’m looking for this year. We did find this sweet Edward Cullen Night [...]
I had an interview with a Croatian TV station about Operation Beautiful this morning via Skype. The most glorious thing about Skype is that all you have to do is fix your hair and put on a nice shirt. I’m wearing sweatpants on the bottom. :) After the interview, I skyped with Michelle for a [...]
New Google Reader feed is www.healthytippingpoint.com/feed One of the key aspects of Back On Track Month is getting 8 hours of sleep so I can wake up early and do meditation and yoga. I fell out of the habit a few weeks ago, and I miss it so much! This morning, I turned [...]
Evening! It’s rainy and cozy in Central Florida tonight. I encountered quite the rain storm on my way to night class. My anatomy lesson seemed to drag on and on. We’re studying the digestive system right now, and I find it to be extremely confusing. Yes, I actually wrote “What the F?†in my notes. [...]
