One of THOSE Days

November 28, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Today has been…well interesting. I had the “day off.”  So of course I had a to-do list!! It involved going to the city where I go to school (is it weird that I still don’t want to disclose that personal of information on my blog??), which is an hour away.  The reason for…

{Dietetics} Exercising to Compensate for Bad Eating Habits

November 2, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Many people believe that a healthy weight is all about calories, so they exercise to compensate for bad eating. This is not really the healthy way to live.

October 19, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

{WIAW #42} Mexican Tacos and Dessert Fail

October 17, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Well it looks like my last post was actually LAST WIAW. (What is WIAW?  Check out why I participate here.) This shows how much school (I’m looking at YOU Chemistry class) is taking over my life.  (Or I’m just watching too much How I Met Your Mother and it takes me longer to…

Take a Fitness Break

October 10, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! No, not a break from fitness…although some people could use that too! I notice during the school year, I can get so into my homework/studying/facebooking-when-I’m-supposed-to-be-doing-homework-and-studying, that I sit for too long and get sore. It’s recommended that people working at a desk get up once every hour…and that counts for sitting in front…

No More Free Coffee + Pepperful Panburger Partner

October 5, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends!

Are You Wearing Pants?

September 18, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Lately I’ve been walking around a campus fillled with thousands of teens and young twenty-year olds.  I don’t know a lot of people yet, so what do I do with my time walking to and from classes?  People watch of course! I’ve noticed all kinds of college student trends including the tennis shoe…

Healing Depression and Anxiety // LOVE to MOVE

September 16, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! How weird is the English language?  I mean seriously, I feel bad for those who have to learn English as a second language.  Love and Move look like words that should rhyme, but they don’t. It’s not loooohve to move or love to muhve… Okay that was not the point of this post. …

The Part-time Job Rant

September 4, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I tend to avoid the blog when I’m in a particularly bad mood.  I am one of those people that gets down and depressed sometimes and try to not be a debbie-downer in the blog world (especially since I already complained in my recent Foodie Penpals post and my last WIAW).  This time…

Hello Friends! It’s that time again!  The last day of the month!  Can you believe it?? I think it’s time to set some new goals for next month…what do you think? One goal I will have on the forefront of my mind is thinking positively.  This week was chaotic and I can remember many negative…
