The Start of a New Beginning!

This is my first post! I have grown very fond of blogs! Specifically nutrition, fitness and fashion blogs. I never thought that I would start a blog because I feel like I would never know what to say! After thinking about it for many months, I decided to start one. I think it will be a great way to unwind from my day and it will help me to remember my days! (Also to keep in contact with some of my dearest friends, Alexandra LaMar and Claire Harper)


You ask why its named... Sprinkle with love! Well you see, someday it is my dream to open a bakery. I have always loved baking and I love baking for others, so why not own a bakery. Sprinkles are definitely found in a bakery and I love saying the word: Sprinkle. It sounds so sweet and delicate. I would also consider myself a very loving person. With everything I do, I try to be loving and caring. I decided on this name because from now on, with everything I do, I am going to always sprinkle it with love. Whether it be baking a cake for a friends birthday, or going for a long run or helping hand cookies out to the new moms a chester county hospital,  I will be sure to always sprinkle it with my love! :)


A little about myself, I am a Nutrition and Dietetics major at West Chester University! I love my major! Everything about it, I just do not want to be a Dietitian. My dream job is to be a pediatric oncology nurse practitioner and to own a health bakery (using my nutrition degree)!




Even though I am a nutrition major and I know pretty much everything there is to know about healthy eating, I do not always eat the best. I am a very busy girl who is always on the go and who still eats at the University's dining hall. It is hard to eat healthy on the go and at school. 




Today was a normal day for me. It started around 8:30 when my wonderful phone started singing to me.... aka my alarm clock. I got up... and got everything ready for the day. I packed my lunch and made my breakfast. I then went to work! It was a little gloomy out this morning, but VERY hot and humid. I dont mind the hot to much, but oh my do I mind the humid! There weren't to many kiddies at the pool today! I forgot to mention that I am a lifeguard at Ash Park pool in the City of Coatesville. (represent!)


Around 1:30 I left the pool to go pick up Michael! Michael is a 28 year old man with Fragile X Syndrome. He is one of the sweetest people I know! I work with him a few times a week doing different things. Today we went to the YMCA! We do this three times a week! 


Here is Michael:

This picture was taken one night when we were Bowling!

Michael's mom really likes him to exercise! I workout right next to him every time we go! It is a lot of fun! Today Michael watched Cash Cab and Dont forget the lyrics! Two of his favorite shows!


Here is my daily fitness for today!


40 minutes on the treadmill (I watched ellen)
20 minutes on the bike (finished watching ellen)
40 minutes on the elliptical! (read my NOOK)
10 minutes of arm exercises
10 minutes of abs


*I will try to be more specific as the posts go on! But I am just starting to get back to working out at the gym because I have been a little sick the last few weeks! I have to make sure I stay with Michael, so when he wants to go to a new machine, I have to stay with him, so its hard to plan a work out! I have to think on my feet, which I tend to be good at!


I am hoping to run the ING Philly 1/2 marathon for the second time in September if I can come up with $95.00, why do runs have to be SO FREAKING expensive! And if I keep up with my running and my marathon training schedule, I hope to run a marathon in the fall! I was thinking about the AC marathon on October 16th! I originally wanted to do the Philadelphia MARATHON in November, but Kori, my lovely boyfriends sister, is getting married on the same day, so I don't think that would work! Im keeping my eye out for a good FIRST marathon, with not a lot of hills!


Well! My hands are starting to hurt and I gotta go get to studying for these darn GRE's! Maybe if I have time I might make some banana bread tonight :)


Tomorrow I am going to the BEACH!!! First time all summer!! Im gonna go visit my family (Aunt Gretchen) who is down there for this week!!


Don't forget to Sprinkle everything with LOVE today and everyday!
