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.
Wow, Saturday went from sunny and nice to rainy and gross in a matter of seconds. Good thing my 10K was early! I woke up at 7 am to get ready – and it was already warm and sunny out! I knew exactly what I wanted before the race… You see, a while ago I received a HUGE box of goodies from the wonderful people at Amazing Grass (thanks Brandon)!!! So I knew the chocolate SuperFood powder would be the perfect pre-race fuel. I combined it with a shot of iced coffee (leftover from yesterday’s… Read more >

Now, I have grown to ADORE blogging, and it’s all because of you guys! Who ever would have thought that sharing aspects of my… Read more >

I think it’s fairly obvious I’m not the most computer savvy person out there…but with the help of Sarah, Mara, and Caroline, I managed to make the much needed (and long overdue) switch to WordPress. Finally. I have been putting it off forever, because the idea all these <?/.> things really really scare me. So now I can continue to sort it out while in Hawaii. Am I a total freak for thinking vacation is the perfect time for a blog make-over? Nothing screams relaxation like formatting and codes and DNS settings. Basically Thursday was… Read more >

**I’m not sure why, but I’m having tech related issues…update your google reader feeds to http://hungryhungryhippie.com/feed/ If you know what the title of this post means, I’m sorry. Ha Ha. But that’s what I felt like (again) today. I had 4 meals (not snacks, meals) AFTER dinner alone. OK, so back to the beginning… Hump day started off with an early morning wake up call. Someone’s gotta save lives. To get me going, I went with a Trilogy Kombucha. This is my FAVE flavor by far. Mmmm… I had packed my lunch before, but it… Read more >
