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.

holy september

I can’t even believe it is already September again, it has now been a YEAR since I have been in NYC and I am happier than ever (insert mushiness here). Anyways, today I wasn’t that sore, but I was still WAY glad to be getting a massage in the evening. Also, Kyle was getting home from Las Vegas so it was a double-y good day.The AM started with this deliciousness. Coffee/latte with ff milk and ff vanilla creamer. Then I went to the gym for a low key work out to stretch myself out from… Read more >

10K day

Not like a 10K is anything to name a whole day after, but still… So I started the day off with mega coffee loading, and then I caved and ate the entire granola bar that I bought from whole foods 2 days ago. Plus a banana, and dried cherries, and the last of the yogurt covered raisins. Oh, and another glass of milk.I have already had an entire days worth of kcals! Wtf! Looks like I am ready for a bomb ass race with all that food energy. I was fuller than I wanted to… Read more >

3 days of catch up

Ok well I have had a streak of over eating, which might soon become a problem. So now let me write it all out, expose my shameful behavior so I can be freed of my guilt and turn over a new leaf. DAYAM! It will be brief though since I can’t even remember what kind of shit went down.I worked on Wednesday the 27th, and as far as I remember I had coffee from Bruno’s and then ate the lunch I packed (consisting of the usual sandwich). It was also made on the new kind… Read more >

back to the grind?

Well, today was a good work day, and a good eating day UNTIL 10 pm…then I got the late night hunger pangs that wouldn’t release me. As strong as I tried to be, I failed. I was a bad girl – I opened and finished a few different containers in the same sitting. UGH! And I was doing so well, too. Damn it damn it damn it. So, here’s how the day started. I had a coffee at Bruno’s (4 stars for today’s brew). I packed my lunch the night before (see the sando pictured… Read more >

Gym day

I slept in big time today. It was really nice since I stayed up so late last night after my pm eating sesh. So I had 2 full cups of coffee today, which I made nearly latte-like with ff Lactaid that Kyle picked up for me on his way back from the gym (since I left him a million different notes). For some reason the other milk smells funky. No pictures because its not exciting, just coffee. Then I went to the gym and did 60 minutes on the elliptical followed by abs and stretching….
