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.
We slept in a bit on Sunday, but were still up and at em at 8 AND…OH.MY.GAH! I was SO SO sore. I literally couldn’t get out of bed my entire back/neck was so stiff I was frozen – it looked like I was in a brace because my range of motion was so limited. WOW. I spent the first few minutes of the morning just stretching, which helped a teeny bit. I was prepared to be a little sore because that’s generally what happens with any new activity (and I haven’t been skiing in… Read more >

Hi bloggies!! I’m BACK in the big apple now, after a SUPER fun weekend in Vermont. It’s so nice to get out of the craziness that is NYC every once in a while – and the ‘burbs of Vermont were just the place to relax and unwind. It’s so small town. So, back tracking a bit to Friday…Kyle’s boss generously let us use his cabin (which sleeps 13) so we decided to head up to Vermont for the weekend for a fun little skiing getaway with another couple. Hooray! SO FUN! But, very very cold…. Read more >

Today was a totally snack-y day. I didn’t even really do meals, I was just grazing all day long. That’s the bad part about about having days off when the weather is only 15 degrees outside. I broke the fast with a HUGE glass of chocolate soymilk followed by a CHOCOLATE loaded coffee. This stuff is THICK and sooooo good. I am normally a silk soymilk girl, but this was on sale so I decided to give it a shot. Man, was I in heaven. It took all self control to not chug the entire… Read more >

What an AWFUL day. Fortunately, I had a seriously awesome dinner to provide the light at the end of the tunnel through it all. Back to the beginning though… Like most days, I stopped at Starbeezies for a coffee. Unlike most days, I didn’t have chance to actually drink it until 10:30!!! Can you even believe it! I was SO swamped with work. It seemed like no matter how much I did to catch up, stuff just kept piling up. TOO MANY PATIENTS!!! Blah. Even though I kept reminding myself to stop. breathe. relax…it did… Read more >

White as far as the eye can see. I love that I work on the 10th floor, because the view is really pretty, especially on super snowy days! It was snowing all day, but I still managed to make it to the ‘bucks before work and on my lunch break. I was the only person on the unit today, so I had all the patients. Baller! No but for reals it was kinda crazy. One of my patients went into sinus tach and then desaturated to the 86% range even with 60% O2 face mask… Read more >
