I can't believe that February is halfway over! My body has been a-movin-and-a-groovin this past week. Here's a summary... Housework. Housework. Ran on the track at the gym. ZUMBA! Plus danced in my living room. :) Ran on the track at the gym. Ran mile outside to get ready for my 5k race then ZUMBA!… Continue reading Month of Movement: Week 2 Wrap Up

Month of Movement: Week 1 Wrap Up
So I made it through my first week of my "Month of Movement". I had a lot of excuses to give up - I was planning a party, getting ready for an event, and to top it all off the State came in for our annual survey at work. But I didn't give up. I… Continue reading Month of Movement: Week 1 Wrap Up
Month of Movement
I can't believe that it is already February. January flew by! Especially the last two weeks... and I have no blog entries to show for it. I also haven't been using MyFitnessPal and I missed a week of Zumba. Oh and we won't talk about my project 365... :( I have fallen into the resolutioner… Continue reading Month of Movement
Keeping It Real: Companionship
Those of you who know me in real life or read my blog on a regular basis know that I am a dietitian in long term care. You may not know a lot about long term care. You may think of nursing homes, certain odors, and diseases like Alzheimer's when you think of long term… Continue reading Keeping It Real: Companionship
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 #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
Keeping It Real: Why My Body Is Awesome!
I like many people out there, I'm sure, am completely guilty of bashing my body. There are days when I say critical things about myself and I get down on myself for not eating right or exercising enough. And as a dietitian I should be a better role model to the world... but lately life… Continue reading Keeping It Real: Why My Body Is Awesome!
Keeping It Real: Hello? Is this thing on?
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?
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
Stuff I Love: Bolthouse Farms Yogurt Dressing
So I am a big fan of Hungry Girl. I have a few of her recipe books and I get her almost daily emails. I have discovered a lot of delicious swaps for foods and ingredients that might be less than healthy for you through Hungry Girl. My latest, and probably BEST discovery, are the… Continue reading Stuff I Love: Bolthouse Farms Yogurt Dressing
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
Getting Past Setbacks
So I posted not too long ago about a challenge that I was going after - a 6 week 5k training plan. I went into the challenge head on and hard - I pushed myself to run at a faster pace and I completed the first week of the workout. On the very last workout… Continue reading Getting Past Setbacks
New Year, New Me
It is December 31st 2012. I bet some of my readers didn't think we would even make it past 10 days ago - the date the Mayan calendar ended. But since those end of the world predictions were wrong, here I am to review last year's "Keeping It Real Dietitian's" goals and set some new… Continue reading New Year, New Me
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!
