Health knowledge made personal
  Considering today's good news, which I still have yet to share with you, dessert was an obvious must-have tonight. Inspired by last night's healthbuzz chat (hosted by Food Buzz ) on Twitter, I decided to whip up a new fro-yo recipe. (I am no longer a Twitter chat virgin!) Blunana Fro-Yo -1 frozen banana -1/5C nonfat blueberry yogurt -2T almond milk Directions: In a small food processor, mix all ingredients together for about 2 minutes or until smooth. The consistency of your fro-yo should be light and fluffy. Indulge- and don't even feel bad for a second!    My obvious choice in topping was raisins ...   - - - - - - - - - - Now that we got that out of the way :) You ready yet? Good! Because I can't wait to tell you.... - - - - - - - - - - Good News Part 1Remember the proposal I wrote about a month ago for my academic major? IT GOT APPROVED TODAY! I am officially going to graduate ON TIME with the most amazing major that I created myself! The degree I am studying to obtain is called a "Bachelor if Individualized Study." Through this program, I am able to create a major and tailor it to my specific interests. Sounds amazing right? Well, the proposal writing process is extremely intensive. You have to depict and summarize every class you are taking as part your major, ultimately proving to a panel in 10 pages that your major makes sense academically and will benefit you in the future My three part major looks like this: Spanish Studies, Design Studies, and Public Health. I get to take classes focusing on mass media, culture, Spanish, nutrition, art history, advertising, disease control, etc. Hence why I love every single one of my classes! Whammy. Even Better News Part 2adsfjlaf;adfsadsfl;!!! I can barely contain myself. The other day I received an email from the social media specialist at Anytime Fitness . They wanted to let me know that they had been following Fit Foodie Finds ever since I tweeted back to them on Twitter. AND.... that they wanted me to join their blogging team! AHHH! I was obviously thrilled and said YES! They have 9 amazing bloggers on their website, Anytime Health , who all specialize in different topics ranging from nutrition to exercise. My segments will be similar to FFF and focus on the healthy collegiate lifestyle through food and exercise! Today was my first debut post! CHECK IT OUT PEOPLE---> The Power of a Balanced Life. Fewwwww. Feels so good to finally get that secret off my chest! I can't believe I held that one in for over a week! - - - - - - - - - - Tell me something good? What are you happy about lately? Have you ever participated in a Twitter Chat? - - - - - - - - - - Fun fact of the night courtesy of Mama Hersh and Fox News: "In the month of March, we will gain an hour and fifteen minutes of light and ten degrees to the average temp." THERE IS A GOD. |
