Life tidbits on the Nutrition Nut front…
1. My official first day of school at IIN was yesterday! Insert minor freak out. Don’t get me wrong, I am excited about the journey ahead, just a tad overwhelmed (as I always was at the start of a new college semester).
2. Switching things up from my living room workouts the past few days has been really nice; I thrive in a gym environment. That said, enter gym pet peeves: “Girlfriend, why are you wearing lifting gloves on the stair climber!?”, and “Bro, I think you’ve done enough shrugs… for your lifetime.”
3. I am so stupidly happy to a part of the Anytime Fitness team. Head on the over to the AF blog for more posts from this nut. I’m sharing meal planning tips and a mighty tasty oatmeal recipe this month.
4. I don’t think I mentioned that one of my Christmas gifts from The Boy was flannel sheets (since I am always bundled up in a million layers when I get into bed). I’ve only been late to work a couple of times ;) It’s impossible to get out of bed now.
5. I am terribly disappointed that I can not watch The Bachelor online this season. What the heck ABC! Do any of you know a sneaky way around this? This chick doesn’t have cable.
6. BIG changes at work. In other words, my daily mantra is “keep calm and carry on.” Insert freak out #2.
7. Bikini shopping for Kauai. Can it be March already? But, wait… about that paper white skin. I can’t forget to pack the SPF 50.
8. These Paleo brownies must be in my kitchen stat.
9. Two Lululemon Bang Buster headbands are in route to my door this week. Who wears the Bang Buster? I hope I love them as much as I do the other Lulu headwear.
10. The gist of the first two weeks of 2014: ch-ch-changes = slightly stressed Hillary. Therefore, let us ignore tidbit #5. I don’t have time for silly reality TV.
Sunday night Target run. #PMScraving #coldandflufighter

What are your gym pet peeves?
Have you been to Kauai? What must I do?

Why I Hate the Scale
Can’t wait to hear about all your big changes!! Love that ice cream… thank goodness for Target!!
That gelato is my favorite, well maybe the sea salt caramel, but close tie! Also I love the Lululemon Bang Buster – I’ve spent lots of $$$ over years on bands that don’t stay put, but this one doesn’t move and I tend to forget it is there keeping my face hit free :)
I have an amazing to-do/must-see list for Kauai from a friend that grew up there – I’ll look for your email and send it your way! We honeymooned there and it’s incredible. Where on the island are you staying? I must say – make a reservation for dinner at The Beach House now – the restaurant fills up super far in advance and the sunset is the best on the island! Everything else will be in my email!
Thanks! healthyhill3 {at} gmail {dot} com
I feel you on the minor freak outs. I’ve had about ten just today. Hang in there, change keeps life interesting and you’ll catch up to it all in no time!
Thanks, Caroline!
I just started IIN too!! I’m so excited, as I’m sure you are too! You’re located in California, right?? I’m currently living in the south SF Bay Area.
Yep, I’m in NorCal. Are you in the January 13 class?
Yup! Currently listening to the Alicia Silverstone lecture in the first module. You should join the FB group of Californians who just started class with us if you haven’t already — it’s called Californians 4 Total Health. They’re doing a meet-up next month that I am probably going to go to if I can make it!
I definitely don’t have time to watch The Bachelor this season with this new job, but I believe you can watch the full episode on abc.com without verifying or anything a full week after it has been aired on TV. I just checked and last week’s episode is up!
You are a life saver! After a 10-hour work day, a mindless episode of The Bachelor is just what I need (and chocolate)!
This is definitely true! Just watched Episode 1 last night :)
Ahhh gym pet peeves! Ha love them! There are so many strange sightings in the gym at the beginning of the year. I can’t stand when people are on a piece of equipment browsing Facebook or twitter just taking there time. Oblivious that there might actually be someone else who wants to use the machine!
you can watch all new shows on videobull.com …you have to navigate through the ads a little.
That Talenti gelato is dangerous!!!
It really is!
I have not purchased one Lulu product I didn’t like! Once my hair is longer I want to get the Bang Busters… the flyaways on this gal are ridiculous!
I need to get on your level & cancel my cable. I watch everything and I mean EVERYTHING on Netflix.
Man, I hear ya on the big changes at work thing. My motto lately has been “let it go.”
Lucky for me, The Bachelor is on my On Demand, so I can catch up on weekends. They usually don’t keep an episode for over a week, so I got to get it all in asap! Can’t get enough of it.

My pet peeve at the gym is when people make loud noises. You know, the grunters or screamers – it’s just completely unnecessary.
That gelato looks crazy! Where can I find that? Good luck on a new semester for you, I am sure it sucks going back to school but I hear that the IIN is a great program from their alumni!
The only place in Hawaii I have been is Waikiki when I was younger, next time I go I want to go to a more relaxing and beachy city.
I am also seriously struggling with this Bachelor situation. I see you have to insert something about your “carrier” to watch? I wonder if you could use your Internet carrier… hmm.
The following week after the episode airs, you’re able to watch it for free :)
You can’t watch The Bachelor!? Oh no! I’d be going through major withdraws!
Congrats on the Anytime Fitness gig! That’s so exciting! And your first day of school. I hope you’ll do an update sometime on how it’s going!
I will :)
Biggest gym pet peeve is defintly men over doing the cologne espcially when their on the treatmill next to you. Please go home and shower!!
I found your blog when I was Googling knee and ankle injuries…so nice to stumble (hobble in my case with my gimp foot)! My biggest pet peeve are men who hog the FreeMotion machines, but will stop and chat with their buddies and goof off. I have yet to work up the confidence to ask for them to shove off ;)
Oh, and Talenti is amazing! Sea Salt Caramel is one of my favorites.
FYI you CAN watch The Bachelor, just a week later :( I think ABC is slowing down on streaming through Hulu, etc. I have to watch The Chew later now, too!
What are your thoughts on IIN so far? I started the same time as you, but I actually ended up withdrawing a few days ago. It wasn’t quite what I expected so I was wondering what your thoughts were! Also, if you need ideas for Kauai let me know, I’m in Maui :)
YES! I would love Kauai suggestions — email me?
So far, I am enjoying IIN. I am thinking I’ll do regular (monthly) IIN updates on the blog. Since I just started the program, I’ll wait a bit longer to discuss my thoughts :)
