My #1 Medicine

08.31.2011

I just got home from the student health center, and according to the nurse practitioner, I didn’t catch my roommate’s strep throat nor do I have mono. Though after a week of feeling ‘under the weather’ (ironic as these late August days are stupidly hot) and resorting to the long wait in the dingy student [...]

quinoa granola.

08.29.2011

There are a few things that I never tire from making: 1) muffins, 2) granola, 3) pesto, and 4) cookies. Perhaps it’s because I’ve made them so so many times, and of many varietal, that I’m pretty confident in my baking capabilities when it comes to these things, and I’m usually left with a satisfying [...]

Today

08.24.2011

I woke up within the 6 o’clock hour, though I didn’t have class until 11:00am. Therefore, I drank iced coffee while doing my morning blog reading and finished an assignment for said magazine writing class. I went to Trader Joe’s and stocked up on the essentials like Snapea Crisps, Cherry Cashew Pure Bars, and laundry [...]

running is so much more.

08.23.2011

“That’s what running does to lives. It’s not just exercise. It’s not just achievement. It’s a daily discipline that has nothing to do with speed, weight, social status, sexual orientation, political affiliation, where you live, what car you drive, or whether anyone anywhere loves you. It’s about the slow and painful process of being the [...]

the first of the last.

08.22.2011

Today was the first day of my last fall semester of college… undergrad, that is. Back in April, I posted about the courses I’ll be taking this semester [The Final Fall Four], but since then I swapped out a class, so now I’m taking Nutrition Counseling instead of Nutrition and Physical Fitness (which I’m looking [...]

cashew chocolate chip cookie dough balls.

08.18.2011

Oh, well hey there! :) Long time, no see write. The Nutrition Nut hasn’t gone anywhere. I’ve just… um, been busy… no not exactly. I honestly wish that were the case… and I presume it will be come Monday. I start school Monday. Summer is making its departure all too soon. Anyway, I’m headed to [...]

AFAA Primary Group Exercise Certification {in a nutshell}

08.10.2011

Hello, friends! I didn’t intend to be absent the past two days, but life has a way becoming spontaneously busy. Monday, I wasn’t feeling well. Turns out all I needed was a sweaty dose of cardio. I didn’t workout Sunday, so I think my body was just needing to cleanse itself from the extra weekend [...]

{un}wrap your superpowers.

08.07.2011

Today I woke up at 5:00am, pulled on my big girls pants and drank a glass of self-confidence. Then I was out the door shortly after sunrise to drive 95 miles – each way – to take the AFAA Primary Group Exercise Instructor certification exam that I’ve been preparing for all summer long. With a [...]

minty pistachio pea pesto.

08.06.2011

I thought about titling this post “The Best Thing You Will Ever Eat”. It is certainly worthy of that high honor… according to my tastebuds at least. If y’all were excited about the (vegan) avocado pesto recipe I posted recently… well, pesto lovers, wait until you try this. I can’t take credit for this sensational [...]

august in action.

08.03.2011

Why hello there! It’s been a while – over 1 full week – but let’s just continue on from the vegan avocado basil pesto recipe that y’all seemed excited about. I know this is old news, but August already!? I don’t know how it can be. I start classes again in less than 3 weeks; [...]
