Let me first start off by saying that I am fully aware I never did my “what’s in my pantry/fridge” post. Why? Because when I went to take the video, I realized my phone is a piece of crap, and I do not have a working camera. So.. that’s that.
I’ll figure out a way to do videos, or just do pictures. Either way, pantry post still to come.
Moving on, this week marked the end of my Community rotation in my internship, which meant it was suppose to be my last week at the eating disorder recovery center. BUT, for this next part, Advanced Nutrition, which is a total of 7 weeks, I was allowed to pick an “elective”. I asked if I could stay at the ED center for the elective weeks, and my instructor ok’d everything last week. So I’ll be staying for two more weeks, and then going back in July for another two weeks.
Up until this week, I hadn’t actually been counseling the existing patients one-on-one, but I did do a lot of the group sessions and new patient sessions. One of the dietitians on staff will be traveling for work over the next two weeks though, so I spent a lot of time in the sessions with her and her patients this week, getting to know them and their story from front to back. Next week, I’ll essentially be filling in for her by seeing her patients, going to rounds for updates, and doing all of the group sessions she normally does. I’m nervous to kind of fill her shoes for couple weeks because she’s awesome with the patients, but she’s a young dietitian so I’ve been learning a lot from her and I feel like I can relate well to her philosophies on everything.
Aside from having a full week with the internship-grind, this week Andrew and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary. It’s actually a psuedo-anniversary date because we don’t know for sure when we started dating, so we never make a big deal about it. Just deserves an honorable mention!

It was also the week we decided as Annie-girl’s birthday… little pup is now two years old!
Anddd this week I started getting up earlier and working out in the morning. I also tried a new protein powder.. but more on all of that later 
Do you celebrate dating-anniversaries?
Such a cute picture!
Question: who else works at the ED recovery center? I know of a family friend with a psych undergrad who now works at one in the Midwest (I’m not sure what her master’s is in, but it’s not nutrition/RD). I’m thinking that may be something I’d like to look into for a career!
Thanks:)
there are a lot of different people! let me see… therapists/counselors, psychiatrists, nurses, psych-techs (aka people working on their degrees), exercise therapist (I think exercise science grad), dance instructor/therapist, art therapist, and all of the administrative people like reception, insurance/billing, after-care coordinator.. that’s what I can think of right now but I’m sure it is different from place to place
Oh wow! That’s actually really helpful, thanks
Definitely! We never officially had an anniversary since we morphed from friendship to romantic (6.5 years ago) but we arbitrarily set a date on our first kiss.
Congratulations on your anniversary and good luck with your new rotation!
That was smart! Wow, 6.5 years! Congrats on that lady
Congrats on finishing up your Community rotation - I think I have finally decided that is what I want the concentration of my internship to be. Enjoy your elective weeks
Thanks love! I didn’t even plan for it to be the concentration of my internship but it’s just kind of working out that way, and I’m happy about it! You will like it
I try to celebrate month-wedding anniversaries but Kyle isn’t so into that
I told him yesterday that it was our 37-month anniversary and asked for a present. He gave me the strangest look! Haha!
HAHA I say those kinds of things all the time, get the same reaction lol.
Cute pic! Congrats
