Don’t Steal My Sunshine

March 26, 2012

Top of the Monday to you all Taking some time away from the blog this weekend was a good thing for me.  Don’t get me wrong I love writing, but last week I felt that I was writing for the sake of writing rather than focusing more on high quality content over quantity of posts. [...]

When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get…Kale?

March 13, 2012

I hate to start posts off this way, but I had a really crappy day.  It started by burning pancakes (don’t laugh), setting off the smoke detector, me setting the skillet outside on my deck to cool off and have it smoke outside and in the process creating a burn mark on my table, calling [...]

Project Rawvitalize: Week 2

March 10, 2012

Hello everyone! I can’t believe my time in the south went by so quickly.  Overall I had a good time but I constantly thought of my grandfather and his missing presence.  I didn’t get to go visit his grave and I think it would have pushed me over the edge emotionally.  I did get to [...]

“There is nothing but energy everywhere”: Wisdom from the Yoga Sutras

March 6, 2012

My morning began with a nice bowl of banana oatmeal out on my little balcony: I mixed together a banana that was getting pretty brown on the outside but still good on the inside, oats, and almond milk and topped it with almond butter and a drizzle of maple syrup.  So delicious!  I’m enjoying spending [...]

Monday Inspiration: How to Plan and Organize Your Day

March 5, 2012

This morning I decided to sit on my balcony and have breakfast while looking at my new view of the river: And all my crazy, bed head glory: Yesterday I felt pretty decent about the amount of work that I got done and the schedule that I had arranged for myself.  It always feels nice [...]

Project Rawvitalize: The Basics

March 3, 2012

I’ve been getting stuck in a rut the past few weeks.  I was getting really frustrated with my thesis, feeling lonely, starting to get depressed (a warning sign for me) and overall not feeling productive and happy. No matter how many weeks I’ve gone without eating disorder symptoms, relapse is always a possibility.  The key [...]

I NEDA Change: The Beginning of NEDA Week 2012

February 27, 2012

The snooze button is simultaneously the best and worst invention.  It’s great because it can give you those precious extra five minutes or it can be that annoying sound that you turn off with semi-consciousness and then oversleep by two hours like I did this morning.  I blame the Oscars. Despite my late start, I [...]

Thesis Goals and Managing a Busy Week While Sick

February 23, 2012

I think I have had very few non-busy weeks in college so to say I’ve been having a busy week isn’t saying much.  One thing I hate is when people try to “out busy” each other by comparing the amount of work they have to do.  The truth is, everyone works at different paces, has [...]

This Week I…

February 12, 2012

What do you say that today we get rid of Sunday Neurosis and just be proud of what we have accomplished this week? I want to get in the habit of starting to feel proud of what I’ve accomplished instead of only focusing on and worrying about what I haven’t finished or have yet to [...]

Plans For The Week and Combatting “Sunday Neurosis”

February 5, 2012

One fun fact about me is that I collect magnets.  I love funny magnets, politically incorrect magnets, magnets with swear words, and inspiring magnets.  I really don’t discriminate when it comes to magnets.  I found this one at Whole Foods a few days ago and had to get it because I could really identify with [...]
