What I Ate Wednesday

What I Ate Wednesday # 8

Wednesdays for some reason always seem to be my hectic days. With my new job I work 10 hour days, and on Wednesdays I usually work a late day - so I work from 9:30am-8pm. Long days, and slightly awkward as far as eating throughout the day. Also, with my new job, I have started… Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday # 8

Keeping It Real: Fat Tuesday

Tomorrow is Mardi Gras, which is literally translated to "Fat Tuesday" in English.  And Fat Tuesday it will be, with many people indulging in treats such as paczki, a Polish fried doughnut filled with fruit preserves or other sweet fillings.  It is also the end of the Mardi Gras carnival in New Orleans.  In general,… Continue reading Keeping It Real: Fat Tuesday

Stuff I Love: Toufayan Smart Pockets

I love a good sandwich, and I am always in search of a "better bang for your buck" option when it comes to bread.  A lot of times I have found products marketed as "thin" or "fit" or "smart" end up tasting quite like cardboard.  Yes, I'm excited that I'm getting a healthy serving of… Continue reading Stuff I Love: Toufayan Smart Pockets

Banking the Miles: November & December Update

It has been a while since your "keeping it real" dietitian shared her thoughts with the world.  I posted in the beginning of November about how crazy life has been, and it really hasn't stopped.  My husband and I have received so many blessings, and at the same time we've been through some really tough… Continue reading Banking the Miles: November & December Update

Month of Movement: Week 4 Wrap Up

I can't believe February is officially over!  Although I didn't accomplish my goal of an entire month of movement, I must say I am pretty darn proud of myself.  I exercised 24 out of 28 days, and even if you don't count the days where I cleaned instead of doing a workout, I still exercised… Continue reading Month of Movement: Week 4 Wrap Up

Weekly Wrap Up #3

Another week has gone by - can you believe it?  January is almost half over!  While I definitely feel myself "slowing down" a bit, I'm still trying to keep up with my goals for 2014. We are still waiting for the state to show up at work, which kinda throws me off.  It has helped… Continue reading Weekly Wrap Up #3

What I Ate Wednesday

What I Ate Wednesday #7

I almost forgot about this today!  I was trying to think of a creative photo for my Project 365 picture of the day, then remembered I needed to do this.  So I captured pictures of what I ate today, plus a bonus! This morning I could have slept in, but I woke up at 6am.  I didn't… Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday #7

Public Humiliation Update

At the beginning of this year, I posted about the Public Humiliation Diet that one of my friends posted on Facebook.  Along with it, I posted my weight, my thoughts on dieting, and my goals for myself. On 1/3/13, I weighed178.4#.  I was just barely starting to run again.  I was using MyFitnessPal here and… Continue reading Public Humiliation Update

Being Brutally Honest With Yourself

While I'm watching the season premiere of Biggest Loser, I thought it would be appropriate to discuss a blog post that a friend of mine shared on her Facebook the other day:  The Public Humiliation Diet.  It goes right along with Biggest Loser - I have a love/hate relationship with this show.  I love watching… Continue reading Being Brutally Honest With Yourself

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
