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.

work day

Here is the lunch I packed the night before. I made the sando with smart deli meat and lettuce, ff Fage, honey mustard, and 7 grain food for life bread. I should really create an abbrev for that sando because it’s the same one I always make. I also went back to the iced coffee routine, OBSESSION!!! 🙂 no but seriously, it is so much more economical to make it at home rather than buy it every day.All I really ate at lunch was the sandwich and some of the yogurt covered raisins. I ate… Read more >

whirlwind weekend

Wow. This is gonna be one crazy weekend, I can tell already.1) AM coffee was not 1, not 2, but 3 cups! Whoa…slow start much?2) AM work out was INTENSE. Not sure why, since my elliptical routine was the random setting which kept me at alternating levels between 8 and 123) This tropical storm shit sucks I rescind my previous title of the weekend. It will no longer be a whirlwind weekend, it will now be a shitty rainy crappy weekend. Our US tennis men’s final tickets will no longer be good, since the tropical… Read more >

5th time’s the charm

Well, I couldn’t even stay up to wait for Kyle to get home. I passed out around 11 pm because I just couldn’t keep my eyes open anymore. So I was asleep when he got home last night and didn’t get to see him. But on to today, TGIF! Another day of kinda sleeping in. I love that I am setting my alarm for 10:30 just in case, but still waking up before it goes off. I have been waking on my own around 10 am on all my days off, which I think is… Read more >

football returns!!!

I got to sleep in today, which was quite nice. But I still set my alarm for 10:30 so I wouldn’t get too messed up. I had 2 cups of delicious coffee (ff milk and ff vanilla creamer) and then left to hit up the gym. My feet and legs were REALLY tired for some reason, so I did tons of stretching in the morning and then after my work out too. It must be from being on my feet ALL day yesterday. Seriously, I was up at 5 am and then walked from the… Read more >

ugly betty

Last day of work for the week, praise the lord. I hope to god Betty, the patient from hell, is gone when I get back. I repeated my AM home made iced coffee routine, with the same delightful outcome. My lunch was another smart deli turkey sando. I used the last of the alfalfa sprouts. I also had a plum, apple, sf jello, applesauce, and 2 Starbucks iced ff lattes. I hit up the gym after work, and then got some goodies at WF. I walked half the way home while talking on the phone… Read more >
