I’m a nurse. An exercise lover. A whole foods connoisseur. A health enthusiast. And I have IBS. No need to cue the sappy violin music yet... I’ve found that eating a mostly plant-based diet has allowed me to continue to live and love life to the fullest. Although moderation isn’t something I do well, I’m 100% devoted to giving my body pure, wholesome, quality food. Nutritious and delicious, all the time. Hungry Hungry Hippie is a way for me to share my daily dealings with food, fitness, and everything in between.
Saturday I woke up extra early to let Mia in and shut her up continue my marathon uploading session of my parents cds to my iTunes (all the while cursing the times I clicked ignore when Apple told me to back up my music). I got about 4 cds uploaded before my computer called it quits, which I took as a sign that I should get ready to go. My mom dropped me off at Elaine’s house (with my cute mini coffee mug in toe) and shortly after we all piled into 3 cars and… Read more >
Could stand for several things…best weekend ever, perhaps? Or Bachelorette Wino Elaine? I don’t even know where to start after such a fun filled weekend. Friday was my friend Elaine’s bridal shower followed by a weekend getaway in Calistoga for her bachelorette party. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are a few. If you have no interest in the commentary, scroll away. After lunch on Friday I collected my energy and hit the road for a 1/4 marathon. It was way more uphill running than I anticipated but I finished… Read more >
I got a car at 4 am to Newark airport. Nothing like being awake when it’s still pitch black out. Btw, my ride to the airport cost $87!!! Normally, I’m a public transportation girl all the way, but I called a car the night before (since it was so early and I wasn’t about to try to hail a cab to take me to New Jersey at the godly hour I was awake)…they could pave the road in gold charging fees like that!! I’m still in shock. I brought these Raw Revolution samples on the… Read more >

…party ‘til the sun is rising, high rise, overtime, working ‘til the morning shine. I feel on TOP OF THE WORLD! Top of the world! 🙂 In addition to making me feel like a true New Yorker, that song pumps me up (as most PCD song do)! Guilty pleasure, fasho. AM coffee. BTW, before I forget, thank SO MUCH for all the feedback on my last post. You guys are the sweetest and the most thoughtful and it really makes my day when I get flooded with comments of support. It’s so nice to know… Read more >

“Traits don’t change, states of mind do” I read this in my book today and it really makes sense, especially when applied to health/fitness…naturally I felt like sharing this with all of you in the blogging world. I’ve always been very passionate about health, which I would consider one of my personal traits, but my state of mind has definitely changed (and continues to change) over time. Sometimes something as little as eating poorly for a few days or skipping the gym can mess with my head and my state of mind. Even though I… Read more >
