About the Health Freak College Girl

Hi! My name’s Haley. I’m an 18 19 year old health freak. Here are some things you might want to know about me:

I’m a health freak..oh wait..you already knew that
I’m a freshman in college studying kinesiology
I love to run and compete in triathlons
I love my family more than anything. My mom is my best friend in this entire world
I have a serious addiction to frozen yogurt…but really
I can spend hours roaming the aisles of supermarkets (especially Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Mothers Market, and Henry’s)
I have a dog and cat who I absolutely adore
I live in California but I dream of one day living in Washington of Oregon
One day I hope to change the way the world eats (I know…a big dream)
I’m not vegetarian or vegan but I completely respect the people who are. But I do consider myself to be vegetarian 80% of the time
I hope to one day become a nutritionist or maybe even own my own healthy restaurant. My sister calls me the next Jillian Michaels 🙂

So that’s me in a nutshell. Oh yeah, one other thing, I have also dealt with an eating disorder.** I don’t like to dwell on my past but maybe I’ll write a post about it someday.

So I wrote those posts. Check out my ED past in Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.

Photo props go to my sis

I hope you enjoy my blog! Leave comments (nothing negative please!) or just roam around 🙂

Hey Haley,

Wow, it’s scary how much we have in common. I too am a native Southern Californian who just started my freshman year in college, so I’m also learning to balance exercise, food, and a healthy living style with a whole new place. I’ve never been to Washington/Oregon, but the foodie opportunities there sound amazing to me. Anyway, just thought I’d stop by and say hi 🙂

P.S. What part of Southern California are you from?? (Sorry, not to be creepy or anything like that haha.)

You seem like so much fun and I love your blog! I can totally relate to you, especially the frozen yogurt addiction and being able to lose yourself in a grocery store (esp. Whole foods and trader joes) for hours on end without realizing it!!

I’d love it if you would check out my new blog!!

I am studying Kin too! How do you like it so far? Any plans for after you grad?? I am graduating this year, and I still have no idea what I want to do! I am thinking maybe Holistic Nutrition.

Great blog 🙂 It is nice to read about other people in school! Sometimes I think I am the only one in the blog world!

    Hi there!
    
    So I choose to reach out on this post in particular as I can relate to everything you said above. I am also a blogger and am hoping to touch upon more nutrition and exercise, but stick to just about everything. I love your idea about competing 21 races (marathon/half) before your 21st! That’s such a great idea, I wish I had thought about it. I actually competed in the Wildflower triathlon on my 21st, so maybe look into a race on your birthday if you are lucky!
    
    I am majoring in marketing, but would love to know how nutrition is!

Hi Haley- I stumbled upon you’re blog because I’m a personal trainer with a health and fitness blog addiction..I have one too, but much prefer reading others 🙂 I have a feeling we’d be pretty good friends if we really knew each other… I read your “about me” to my boyfriend and he thought I wrote it about myself! 🙂 I also struggled with and ED when I was younger. Good for you for making positive changes and embracing the lessons we learn along the way. Best of luck in your endeavor!

Hi There, I also suffered from an ED and have found cooking with friends and family to be the best medicine. I applaud you in your strength as well!
