Starter Breakfast

on October 7, 2009
in All Posts

I woke up early, got some work on the Operation Beautiful book done, and had a starter breakfast:

Just toast and organic blueberry jam.

 

It’s just a starter because I’m about to go work out and will eat more when I return.  :)  However, I cannot decide if I want to run or bike.  Technically, my training plan says I’m suppose to do 5.0 miles today, and since I slacked on mileage last night, I feel like I should run.  On the other hand, I have not biked in MONTHS, and my bike looks lonely on my porch.

 

Decisions, decisions….

 

It’s an Honor Just to be Nominated

 

No, really!  :)  I’m so excited to be a finalist for the FoodBuzz Blog Awards!  Healthy Tipping Point and Operation Beautiful are up for two awards:

 

10. Best Healthy Living Blog:
1. Carrots ‘n Cake
2. Eat, Live, Run
3. Gluten-Free Girl
4. Healthy Tipping Point
5. Kath Eats

 

13. Best Blogger Humanitarian Effort:
1. Chez Pim & Menu for Hope
2. Healthy Tipping Point & Operation Beautiful
3. No Recipes/Blog Away Hunger
4. Share our Strength Virtual Bakesale

 

Please go vote for me HERE!  You can vote even if you aren’t a blogger or a member of FoodBuzz. 

 

I’d be especially excited if Operation Beautiful won the Blogger Humanitarian award because then more women would find out about the mission!  :)  And we all know the world needs a little bit more love.

Now…. onto that workout….

    You could always do both? half and half?
    Oh, and I totally voted for you for both of those!

  • Diana October 7, 2009, 8:34 am

    Congrats on the nominations! 🙂
    Maybe you could run a couple of miles and then bike the rest? I don’t know ahah

  • maria October 7, 2009, 8:56 am

    Congrats on the nominations! 🙂 I’ll be voting soon. Sometimes it’s better to cross-train and make sure you’re giving the love to ALL of your muscles… it can help prevent injuries.

  • Madeline @ GreensAndJeans October 7, 2009, 9:12 am

    congratulations on the nominations! I would have to agree with you that with all the running I’ve been doing my bike feels horribly neglected! I’ve promised it that after my half we will spend some quality time together!

  • Jenna October 7, 2009, 9:14 am

  • healthy ashley October 7, 2009, 9:36 am

    I’ve fallen in love with cycling AND running and always have the toughest time choosing which I want to do! Luckily, they’re both great choices 😉

    Congrats on the nominations!

  • Sarah Jayne October 7, 2009, 9:50 am

  • Morgan @ Life After Bagels October 7, 2009, 10:11 am

  • Nicole October 7, 2009, 10:12 am

    Bike! I had a dream last night that I left my bike downtown, unlocked up, and someone stole it. I woke up in a SERIOUS panic!!

  • Nicole October 7, 2009, 10:12 am

    Oh, and congratulations! You deserve it, Caitlin!

  • Courtney October 7, 2009, 10:18 am

    I love that…starter breakfast!! I often have a “starter breakfast” on the weekends before an early morning workout and then get to have the “real” one later. Fun!

    Voting!

    This has nothing to do with food, but you’re an Oprah fan, Caitlin – right? If so, watch today. One of my favorite non food bloggers (http://nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/) is on to talk about how she survived a horrific plane crash last year, along with a painful recovery process. Talk about inspiration for Operation Beautiful…anyway, you might enjoy it!

  • Evan Thomas October 7, 2009, 10:21 am

    congrats on the noms! I voted this morning 🙂

    biking or running will be good, whatever you choose!

  • Tina October 7, 2009, 11:03 am

    Congratulations! You definitely should win best Humanitarian effort. I can’t even believe how much you’ve accomplished!

  • Cynthia (It All Changes) October 7, 2009, 11:11 am

    I would go biking. One day off your training is not going to kill your race.

    I voted for you. I remember seeing one of those notes in NYC before I even knew what it was. I’m trying to write up how it affected me to submit. It was such a profound thing to me that I will never forget.

  • Laura@FindingAHealthyBalance October 7, 2009, 11:17 am

    CONGRATS on the nominations!!! =)

    You totally deserve it, I know both your blogs have inspired me……..in fact I started my own blog because yours inspired me “so much”!

    I wanted to hopefully do the same for others as well and knew that my past experiences (with losing 100 pounds) and current ones (trying to find a healthy balance) might just do that, hopefully!

    I am only a month in but having a great time with it!

    =) Laura @ Finding A Healthy Balance

  • Laura@FindingAHealthyBalance October 7, 2009, 11:17 am

    P.S. About to vote for you now! =)

  • Estela @ Weekly Bite October 7, 2009, 11:26 am

    I voted! I think “Operation Beautiful” is a wonderuful and wish I had known of something like that when I was growing up! Good luck! I hope you win!
