Hillary

Mama Hill. Runner. Health Freak. Foodie. Baker. That’s me… and this is my journal about living a healthy life. As an extreme foodie with a passion for writing, joining the blogging community has been one of my smartest moves yet.

This is a place that I share my daily eats, stories about my relationship with food, the stresses and achievements of being a college student, running adventures, and whatever else life may throw at me.

My hope is that this space will help to improve my writing, and generate a playground for photography. As a current Food & Nutrition Communication student, I am trying to practice what may be a part of my future career someday. If by doing the things that make me happy, I am able to provide inspiration to others, then I truly feel as though I have made a difference. I believe that a healthy lifestyle is ultimately reached when one stops trying to be healthy and just lives healthy – and I like to think I am a good example of that : ) As I share my life with you, I would love your [respectful] comments, advice, and discoveries.

Here’s to health!

Hi Hillary!
I just wanted to say how awesome it is that you are doing this! I am new to the world of food blogging, just discovered it a couple months ago and LOVE it! It’s awesome reading about your life and relationship with food, nutrition, and well being because I myself am working towards a Nutrition degree and eventually becoming a dietician so it’s great to hear about your struggles and triumphs in ochem and such while I am going through the exact same haha. anyways, thanks again for this. I look forward to your blog everyday!

Hi Hillary, I just found your site via KathEats…I’m going to be starting college in the fall as a dietetics major and am really nervous that it will be nearly impossible to eat healthy living off of the dorm food…how did you survive your first few years when you didn’t have your own kitchen?

Hi Danielle -
Honestly, it was a little tough. I rarely ate in the dining hall, and spent too much money at the gourmet grocery store down the street. Unfortunately, I still gained the dreaded Freshman 15 despite avoiding the unhealthy eats =/ One year of eating a ‘not-so-ideal’ diet didn’t kill me though. Don’t worry about it too much. You will figure out the ropes and ways to make healthy meals. You’ll enjoy having a kitchen again, I’ll tell you that! =)

Thank you… I use a Sony Cyber-shot. It’s suited me well, but I hope to graduate to a ‘big girl’ camera someday : )

I just found your blog, so great! The more I dig around online, the more I find like minded collegiate health-nut foodies like me. It’s comforting, you know? Sometimes it can feel like we’re from a different planet when everyone else our age is boozing their way toward a four year degree. Throwing lots of love and support your way! Not to self-promote, but I have a little health-food blog myself that my boyfriend and I play around on. Stop by sometime!

P.S. What school do you go to!?
