Deal of the day!  Check out Callie’s blog for a Bondi Band fundraiser!  If you need a better headband to hold your hair and catch your sweat during workouts (or hangouts), Bondi Bands can’t be beat!  Funds go to her Aunt’s radiation treatment. I got the pink and black FIGHT one.  :)   In other [...]

Hello there!  Are you having a productive Monday?  I am!  It’s a nice feeling.   Stopped by the Girls on the Run International headquarters (which happened to be right here in Charlotte) to meet everyone and say hello to the famous Molly Barker. Molly said something that resonated me with me today… A four-time Kona [...]

Morning!  The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the neighborhood cats are torturing James… It’s going to be a good Monday.  Repeat it and you might start to believe it.  :)   Had breakfast on the porch, and it was glorious. Standard fare:  banana, 1/4 cup raw oatmeal, blueberries, chia seeds, and honey Greek [...]

This was my Sunday:  Wake up and run 11.0 miles; clean my house; work for a few hours; go get margaritas with Lori from Pure2Raw; and work some more.   A Blood Orange Margarita was the perfect end to a perfect weekend. And now yet another blogger is moving to Charlotte! What can I say, [...]

Previous marathon training long runs: 8.0 is better together 10.0 for the win   After crashing and burning when I attempted to run 11.0 miles in the heat yesterday (I got to 6.4), I decided to wake up extra early today and try again.   My alarm went off around 6:30 and I was out [...]

It’s official.  I’ve hired an intern. My intern’s name is Peter, he enjoys long-distance cycling and jelly beans, and he’s my dad.  He works for free.  And you can follow his antics on Twitter.  :)   Before retiring, DadHTP was a very successful businessman and he’s been helping me managing some of the book madness.  [...]

This is the story of the 11-mile marathon training run that wasn’t.    Today’s run started like any other long run.  I consumed a filling breakfast: That, my friends, is a Vegan Overnight Oatmeal/Banana Soft Serve concoction.  I’ve been watching Angela make these for months, and now that I’ve finally bit the bullet and purchased [...]

My flight from NYC to Charlotte ended up being delayed by an hour and twenty minutes.  Which I would have been really sad about normally, but… there was an XpresSpa right next to my gate.  :) So I got an express back and neck massage and a manicure. And I read Ultramarathon Man.  Dean Karnazes [...]

My feet are killing me! I never, ever wear high heels anymore, and after trudging around in 3 – 4 inchers for three days, my feet are incredibly swollen.  I’ve been trying to keep flats in my bag so I can switch into something more comfortable for long hauls, but still… Ouch. How very NYC [...]

Since I have some new readers after The Today Show segment aired, I thought I’d properly introduce myself!  :)   My name is Caitlin, I’m 26 years old, and this is my personal food and fitness blog.  Healthy Tipping Point’s tag line is “when everyday decisions add up to something amazing” and it’s the embodiment [...]

I know I’m in NYC on the biggest, craziest day of my life…  but let’s talk about lunch.  Because it was that good. OH, lunch!  My publisher took me to Gobo, a vegan restaurant, and it absolutely blew my mind! The flavors were intense; the food was cooked to perfection; the experience was divine!  The [...]

It’s 11:00AM and it’s already the most amazing day of my life! I was on The Today Show this morning promoting my book, which is now in stores!  It was truly an incredible, crazy, awesome experience.  And I wasn’t even that nervous!   It’s time we STOP focusing on the scale, and STOP obsessing over [...]

After a very restful (ha!) night, I am up and ready to go!  Tune into The Today Show at 8:35 AM EST to see me and Meredith chat all things Operation Beautiful book.  In the meantime, here are some guest posts from a few of the wonderful people who made a movement like Operation Beautiful [...]
