Defeat the Rumbling in Your Tummy!

So, we're back at Moravian College - our tummies are bubbling with excitement. Wait, that's not excitement, that's actually our bodies trying to figure out what the hell we just fed it.


We all know Moravian has a mere two options to turn to when we're hungry - the Blue and Gray Cafe and the Marketplace. But, when eating health consciously, those two options suddenly seem much smaller.

It's not going to be easy, nor is it going to be fun, however in the end - it will be worth it.

This blog, written primarily for English 391, is meant to benefit more than just myself, my grade and my class. This blog, in the end, will benefit you greatly, as well!

I began eating more health consciously just 8 months ago and eventually I found my way into the weight room, as well. I have done a complete recomposition of my body, hence the scary bicep picture featured to the left!

While not everyone plans to build muscle or lose fat, or even just "tone up" - this blog will cover every option!

I plan to focus on all aspects of wellness, including nutrition, exercise, health events on campus and interviews with students and staff from the dining area.

You can look forward to posts such as:
  • "The Marketplace Isn't Making You Fat, You're Making You Fat". Many students blame "poor choices" on their weight gain. In all reality, the selection is quite impecable and students should hear about it.
  • "Top 10 Times to go to the Gym". Countless amounts of students blame their lack of effort on a small and crowded gym - which is true at certain times, however there are plenty of hours in a day!
  • "How to Get the Most out of your $5.10". Both figuratively and for the better of your body!
  • "How to Avoid the Freshman 15...20...25". It's obviously common for students to gain weight once they get to college due to lack of movement, constant food choices, peer pressure, and alcohol.
  • "Ask, and You Shall Receive" featuring Patsy from the Marketplace.
  • "Is Butter a Carb?" I will also do a general post on how calories work, how many calories should be ingested, how to find nutritional information for Sodexo and where hidden calories are in Moravian's food!
Feel free to comment on each and every post with things you would like me to cover or with any questions!
XOXO,
Ms. Wisely

  1. "what the hell we just fed it" hahaha that's for sure! I'm so looking forward to this blog. I'm glad there's someone out there translating Moravian's food choices for the rest of us.

    Plus you're writing is real funny. :)
