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.
Hooray! The internet people fixed our connection thingy for real now. Can you tell how tech savvy I am with that intelligent computer language…Anyways, fingers crossed, we won’t have any more days without access to the outside world. Phew! (Since it is snowing and I’m cooped up in the apartment, I associate the internet with the “outside”) I started the day off with a mug of frothy vanilla coffee and big bowl of oats. Gotta love me some Bob’s Red Mill organic whole grain oats 🙂 I had about 1 1/2 cups and added in… Read more >

My K-Love is still in the UK, and I miss him like whoa! Since he left for his business trip while I was in Cabo, I haven’t seen him for over a week, and the time difference makes it hard to even get in a few live conversations…boo :( He even called the unit yesterday (while I was WORKING) to say a quick hello, that’s how desperate we were to touch base. It was only a 3 minute convo though, since one of my patients went into V-tach right after I picked up the phone. … Read more >

Oh, SILK soy milk, how I missed you – let me count the ways. Glass of silk before leaving for work Silky soy latte from Starbucks to kick start my first day back on the unit Soy misto with lunch (from Starbucks, too) And that’s only noon! Here’s my sammie, packed the night before. It’s smart deli “turkey” with the works. This baby never disappoints! I also had a Berries GoMega odwalla bar with my AM coffee and the dried fruit with my PM JUG of apple juice. Yeah, I really really sugar loaded at… Read more >

Yup, my computer is pretty much done-zo…It’s been struggling for a while now, but when you add on the fact that my internet has been out for nearly a week – it’s pretty obvious why I’ve been on HHH hiatus. Sadly, I learned a sad pathetic fact about myself during this time…while my computer failed, my healthy eating also went to the wayside. I seriously ate EVERYthing in the entire apartment, AND managed to gain 25 pounds, too. Okay, I exaggerated a touch there, but I’m pretty sure I did some may-jah damage. The worst… Read more >

Another travel filled day (Mexico to Texas to New York). Sadly, I had to leave the warm, beautiful weather in Mexico (the fun had to end sometime). Even though I’m definitely NOT looking forward to returning to the icy New York climate, I AM ready for the rest of what Manhattan offers (namely the food). Sure, vacation was great, but 4 days was long enough. I never thought I’d say this, but I’m so sick of chips and salsa…That’s the thing about Mexico, there’s not much variety when dining. It’s weird how spoiled you can… Read more >
