About Elise
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.
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 >

Yeah, too bad I don’t live on the East side…then I’d be a true gossip girl. Riiiiight. I was in a barista kind of mood this morning 😀 Froth machine + silk + truvia + cinn = the best coffee EVER! Even better? I had the day off, AGAIN! Plus I am going home on Thursday for a girlfriend’s bridal shower/bachelorette weekend, so I’m beyond excited. California sunshine here I come… PB Puffins and an apple to get the day off right. Somehow I wound up talking on the phone (mostly with my mom)… Read more >

I’ve kinda been freaking out regarding my half marathon training, especially since I’m gone for half of March for weddings (yes, plural) and bridal showers, bachelorette parties, and baby showers. Seriously, how am I going to stay on track when I’m flying back and forth to California every other weekend!! After seeing Caitlin’s calendar, I decided to make my own schedule to map out my mileage goals. I still don’t have my work schedule for April, so I’ll have to make adjustments. Also, Kyle’s birthday and friends visiting from out of town may through some… Read more >
