Diary of a Nutrition Student

This is my first blog ever! I am currently a Master's Student in Sports Nutrition at Florida State University. I am in my first semester in the nutrition program. Starting over in school is a bit difficult at age 26. I currently have my BS in Biology and then after 4 years I decided to go back because I didn't like my job. I always had a passion for exercising and then I competed in my first figure competition and realized how IMPORTANT nutrition is to losing weight. That is when I decided fully that I wanted to commit to going back to school and continue my education in nutrition.


So here I am, moving across the country (lived in Cali for 8 years) to go to school and I am one of the older people in the program :) I guess its better late than never! As my first semester comes to a close there are a few things that I have learned...
1. Nutrition people LOVE food!!!! I know we are supposed to be the ideal models for healthy eating but we love to eat!
2. We love food but in moderation
3. If people don't want to lose weight, they aren't going to... it's only the people that have the drive to lose weight that will
4. So this has nothing to do with nutrition but people in the south LOVE their football!!!! they go crazy! its awesome!

There has been more that I learned this past semester but I don't want to flood the blog with everything and i would like to calm my brain before the big push of finals is over!

So if anyone has questions relating to nutrition, don't hesitate to ask!
