So about those goals for 2013... I am really sucking at them. I haven't written a blog since May, and it is now October. But like they say, better late than never, and my friends and life in general has inspired me to write a new post. A lot has happened since I last posted.… Continue reading Keeping It Real: Hello? Is this thing on?

Keeping It Real: NoBody is Perfect / EveryBody is Perfect
I have a love/hate relationship with my body. I'm sure most women out there... heck, most PEOPLE out there can relate. Some days you wake up, look at yourself and think, "Hoo-dang, I'm hot!" And other mornings, it's more like, "Whoa there, I'm a HOT MESS!" For some of us the "hot mess" days are… Continue reading Keeping It Real: NoBody is Perfect / EveryBody is Perfect
Weekly Wrap Up #1
One thing I love about the MyFitnessPal app on my phone is that I can look at my overall progress a week at a time. The thing about good nutrition and healthy living is that it is all about averages. Every day isn't going to be perfect, and it doesn't have to be in order… Continue reading Weekly Wrap Up #1
Keeping It Real: Eating Smart vs. Dieting
I would be lying if I said I didn't watch what I eat. Call it pseudo-dieting if you will, but I keep a food and exercise diary at MyFitnessPal.com. I find it more interesting to see whether I am getting in the nutrition that I need - vitamins, minerals, fiber, etc. - rather than watching… Continue reading Keeping It Real: Eating Smart vs. Dieting
Keeping It Real: My Body Role Model
When Titanic came out in 1997, I was young and impressionable. I fell in love with the movie and to this day I still watch it every time it comes on. It's more the history of the tragedy that I connect with than the star-crossed lovers. I always thought it was so silly that two… Continue reading Keeping It Real: My Body Role Model
Keeping It Real: Why I’m Not On a Diet
Throughout my life, I have received many comments about my weight, my body. I have had people refer to me as a "bigger girl" or "kinda chubby", I've been called "healthy looking", and I've been referred to as flat out "FAT". As a dietitian, I have had clients who appreciate the fact that I'm not… Continue reading Keeping It Real: Why I’m Not On a Diet
Breakfast Fun!
One thing that I love about weekends is the ability to whip up a more complex breakfast than I do during the weekdays. Let's be honest - I like to sleep in. I am not an early riser. I don't leave myself a lot of time in the mornings before work to make a great… Continue reading Breakfast Fun!
Keeping It Real: The Other Side of Things
November 22, 2012 - My first holiday with my husband, our two month wedding anniversary, and one heck of a day. This Thanksgiving was both completely traditional for us, and also completely non-traditional. After all, we did watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade and America's Thanksgiving Parade. We did eat turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and green… Continue reading Keeping It Real: The Other Side of Things
Keeping It Real: Remember Me?
It's been a while, and a lot has changed for me since the last time I blogged. Let's see... I changed jobs - I no longer work as an eating disorder dietitian, but instead work full time as a registered dietitian in a long term care facility... and I love my job! I got married!… Continue reading Keeping It Real: Remember Me?
Keeping It Real: Where Did I Go?
I've been M.I.A. for too long now... starting to slack on one of my goals for 2012, which is keeping up with this blog! So here's what's been going on and why I've been absent. I started a new job. And that new job decided to be crazy, hectic, and out of control. I first… Continue reading Keeping It Real: Where Did I Go?
