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

Weekly Wrap Up #2
Well here we are, almost a full week into the New Year. I have been working hard towards my goals for 2014 and have even added some new ones. This weekend was a productive one for me, even though we have been dumped on with snow since last night. Right now it is looking like… Continue reading Weekly Wrap Up #2
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: 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
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
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
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!
What I Ate Wednesday #5
Well, this is embarrassing. I had Wednesday off this week. I spent the entire day doing chores around the house - I cleaned my kitchen, dining area, and bathroom. I made a delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner, and planned to blog about it on Wednesday. But... by the end of my busy, productive day off, not… Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday #5
My Challenge: 6 Weeks to a 5k
I'm not new to running. I've been a "runner-in-progress" for over 4 years now. My running started in January 0f 2008 when a friend of mine, Heather, decided to get healthy and lose weight. We started working out together, which included running. I remember a huge sense of accomplishment with her when I ran my… Continue reading My Challenge: 6 Weeks to a 5k
What I Ate Wednesday #4
Yeah, it's been a while since I made one of these posts! But it just so happened that I made a yummy dinner, thought about blogging, and found my hubby's camera so I could take pictures. Since Ken was working tonight, I wanted something simple. And usually when Ken is working, I try to make… Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday #4
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
