Happy Friday!!!
I have successfully completed (well…at 3pm today!) my first full week of my Dietetic Internship!
That was a picture Brian took of me on my first day.
Right now, I am completing a portion of my community requirements with the Marion County Health Department. Each day has been a bit different. I have done things like helping out with distribution and sharing recipes at a food pantry, created flyers/newsletters with health information to distribute to food pantries, and helped other interns with classes they led for preschool-aged children and adults with disabilities. Next week, I will be attending and helping to facilitate more classes for children and adults, and I’m really looking forward to it!
Above are “apple donuts!” We educated preschoolers on basic nutrition information and after some fun interactive games, they had snack time. The apples were cut into thin slices with the core cut out to resemble a donut, yogurt was provided to use as “frosting” and blueberries were the sprinkles. The kids loved these simple treats!
While it feels wonderful to finally be diving into my internship, I will be honest in saying after being “at home” studying for nearly 3 years, it’s a bit strange not being able to take the dogs on multiple long walks during the day and totally work on my own schedule.
As for weekend plans, Brian and I are doing our usual Saturday morning run followed by the farmer’s market routine, checking out a neighborhood estate sale, and then on Sunday we are attending Yoga in the Outfield.
I hope you all had a wonderful week and have an even better weekend 🙂
Here are some more highlights from my week…
The combination was:
1/4 cup oats, 1/2 cup liquid (water/almond milk), 1/2 mashed banana, 2 tsp chia seeds, dash of cinnamon, dash of vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon sprouted brown rice protein powder. Then, in the morning I topped with peanut butter 🙂

Hi there! I really enjoy these posts, they make me look at my own week and pick out all the great things that happened which helps to fade away any memories of any stress I may have had! Such a good idea! I’ll share a few of mine, this is fun 🤗
1. I completed the first of three exams in my Anatomy & Physiology for Dietetics summer class! Which means 1/3 of the way done and almost one more prerequisite down to apply to the coordinated program I am aiming for 2. I came up with a new/old plan to get the veggies I always excitedly buy at the store or pick from my garden (and often end up throwing some away when I haven’t followed through and they’ve gone bad) into my meals. I used to be a pro at this and then I had a baby and three years later I’m still working to get that veggie mojo back 😂 3. I came across a book called the Wellness Project and am excitedly awaiting for its arrival! 4. I just discovered Yoga with Adriene on YouTube! Maybe it was a story you did on Instagram or one someone else posted, but I’ve done her yoga a few times now and being a newbie who has been wanting to do yoga forever I couldn’t be more excited! She’s awesome. Thanks for sharing, your posts are always so inspiring ☺️
What a GREAT week!! 🙂 Good luck on the rest of your exams!!!!!
Ah! Love the cute picture of Rooney! Congrats on the first week! I always need to get through that first one to help me settle in mentally.
Thanks, Christen 🙂
