Diary of a Semi-Health Nut

ramblings + recipes of a semi-healthy nut

Hi! I’m Amanda.

I’m a writer, chocolate chip cookie baker, blog designer, power walker, Instagram fiend, peanut butter toast lover and copious coffee drinker living in Nebraska with my husband and three cats. (also a fan of a good run-on sentence)

{MIMM #15} Birthday {Giveaway} + Chobani Freezing Tips

April 8, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Well, the KC trip went a little differently than I had imagined to say the least.  It was fun, yes.  It was also rough.  I was kind of a train wreck of emotions the past five days to tell you the absolute truth. After the chaos of packing and getting the apartment cleaned…

{WIAW #58} Easter Sweet Tooth

April 3, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! To start off this WIAW or What I Ate Wednesday, here is what I’m eating now: a big bowl of deliciosity.   Or the delicious trifecta: Peanutbutter Cheerios (must try!), mini semi-sweet chocolate chips and one sliced banana. This is also what my room currently looks like: and that’s only half of it…which is…

{MIMM #14} Easter 2013 + Excited for MINK

April 1, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! First of all I hope you all had a wonderful Easter!   And I’m not going to get politically correct and say “if you celebrate Easter” like I’ve seen some doing…that’s kind of a given, right?  The phrases we use like “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Thanksgiving” are never meant offensively, at least I can’t…

{Throwback Thursday} Lifestyle Changes

March 28, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I came across some old photos on Facebook that a high school friend had shared the other day and I had one of those “yikes!” moments. I’ve never been overweight, in fact I’m about the same weight as I was in high school.  I’m not saying this to brag…just bear with me here….

SHN Favorites 3-22-13

March 22, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! After yesterday’s post, some positivity is needed!  I’m not gonna lie..doing all of that research on the topic got me pretty upset with humanity and I just wanted to lock my door and never leave (this hotel room?). I think the perfect thing to start out with for my SHN Favorites (Semi-Health Nut…

{Thursday Thoughts} On Steubenville

March 21, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Okay this topic is pretty uncomfortable to talk about, not to mention the fact that I try not to talk about controversial topics on the blog…why?  Who knows.  Maybe I don’t have the energy to defend my side and maybe I just want everyone to like me, or not have someone be turned off from…

March 20, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! As I mentioned in Monday’s post, I’m in Kansas City for the week! Dave (the BF) has been moved here for work (to another hotel, sigh).  The city is a big improvement from North Platte, Nebraska where he was working, but he was there for 10 months, so the hotel started to spoil…
