An Attempt To Organize My Life

Hello everyone, and happy Thursday! :] As the title suggests, I’m making somewhat of an attempt to organize my life, both on this blog and in med school (my other life) because if I don’t add a little structure soon, I will likely go insane! :O! I don’t know how long I’ll be able to keep this up once my away rotations start, but I’ll see what I can do!

  • If you’re stopping by from the “Grow Your Blog” Blog Hop and have never been here before, welcome! :]
  • If you’ve stopped here once or twice, or have been hanging out here for a while (thank you! <3), consider this my “other” start page (since I never mentioned anything about that one)! ;P

gybspotlightI ammmmm a 3rd-year medical student who blogs mostly about fitness, food & healthy living! At present, I’m on my clinical rotations and trying to keep an open mind…but nothing’s changed.

I still want to go into family medicine, and I’m still especially interested in preventative care, working with the under-served, and sports medicine. <3

When I’m not at the hospital/clinic trying to be a sponge so I can absorb as much knowledge as humanly possible, I like to make food (recipes here!), work out (yay for gettin’ my fitness on!), volunteer, and…blog (really, Farrah? I’d never have guessed!)

  • Medical Mondays: I figured it only fitting that I at least incorporate some of the things I’m learning in school/out in the real world into my blog! I started this series at the beginning of 2015, and each week, I cover a different topic in medicine! :] You can find out more about its inception here.This week’s topic was on Hypertension! Remember how I mentioned there’d be a Part II? Please head over to Zen & Spice to check it out (thanks, Emily! <3)!

     

  • Dish The Fit Tuesdays: I started joining in on this linkup at the end of 2014, and I adore it! :] There’s an optional fitness-related topic each week, and I’ve really loved reading everyone’s posts; it’s awesome how encouraging everyone is of each other (a behavior I wish everyone would adopt)!
  • Wednesday/Thursdays: Free-for all! I have no idea what will go in here, but I like to write, so don’t you worry! Whether it’s a reflection on a rotation, random musings/ponderings on life, book reviews, another new recipe…there’ll [probably] be something!
  • Foodie Fridays: In keeping with my love of all things food-related, I co-host a weekly recipe linkup with four lovely ladies (Annmarie, Esther, Emily & Cassandra)! :] We make healthified recipes for a different theme each Friday!

    foodiefridaySo much recipe goodness to be had! <3

    With Love Fridays: For the month of February, in an attempt to combat the fact that I’ve been called heartless (:O?!), I’ll also be co-hosting a linkup on love with Kristie, Lisa & Georgina! We’ll be posting every Friday (like you couldn’t tell that :O ) on any and all things to do with love, from your favorite person to a place you love…or even your favorite shoe (just one). Want to find out more about some of your co-hosts? Check here!
    withlovefridays

    Check back here at midnight EST for my first post, and feel free to join us! :]

  • Weekends are free-for-alls as well, mostly because I’m actually trying not to blog then (I need to study), but there may be a couple that pop up every here and there. :D
Got anything to say about #food, #recipes, #fitness or #love? Join in on a #linkup!

  1. No ma’am you are definitely NOT heartless! Anybody who volunteers so frequently with cats is NOT heartless by any means! Plus you’re just a great human being, I can tell. How dare they. Where are they? Let me at ’em! ;)
    Kaylin @ Enticing Healthy Eating recently posted…Hello Cocoa; A Sweet GiveawayMy Profile

    1. hehehe, aww, thanks, Kaylin! <3! I didn't actually take it to heart, and one of my friends told me I should've responded, "This may be true, but only to you." lawl.

      (That lovely gem came from the first relationship I was ever in. 'Twas a kinda terrible experience because hooray for the psycho ex that followed, but it is a-okay now!). I found out all my red flags and dealbreakers early on. :]

  2. Your schedule looks pretty good to me! Thank you for sharing the link ups, some are new to me! I am really enjoying your Medical Mondays so far! Some topics that I would love to hear about are mental health, cholesterol and thyroid health ;)
    Elsie @ Sharing Healthiness recently posted…The Cold Isn’t the Only Reason for Dry HandsMy Profile

    1. Thanks, Elsie! :D I’m so glad to hear that! Those are all topics I plan to eventually cover, so hooray! (My rotation in psych starts next week! :o )

  3. I absolutely LOVE your blog :) We are so similar !!

    as far as medical monday topic, I have a few Id love to hear more amout!

    Amenorhhea (causes, prevention, risks)

    HPV and irregular paps (these can be so scary)

    Un-Manic Monday
    Ten for Tuesday

    Diana recently posted…Ten For Tuesday 2.3.15My Profile

    1. Thank you! <3! Amenorrhea was on my list, but I'll definitely add HPV/irregular Paps onto my list! My OB/GYN rotation is in May, so I'll see what I can glean from there!

  4. I think your schedule looks great, and I’m going to look into a couple of those link ups. I don’t follow a particular schedule yet, but I’m trying to narrow something down. After these past few months of randomness, I’m starting to get a feel for what I truly enjoy blogging about and sharing with the world. The Foodie Friday thing is totally up my alley ;)
    AJ @ NutriFitMama recently posted…Recipe Suggestions Needed and Thinking Out Loud ThursdayMy Profile

    1. Hehehe, mine started out as just a private blog for me to use as a way to document my life in grad/med school, but mostly just turned into a documentation of my kitchen experiments. (My life revolves around food, so I guess it makes sense.)

      We’d love to have you join in on Foodie Fridays! <3! Your recipes look super delicious! :D!!

  5. Oh, and if you ever cover Iron Deficiency or Iron Deficiency Anemia I am so there. I have Iron deficiency anemia and we cannot figure out what it going on. So far the only iron I can take is Blood Builders from Whole Foods..everything else messes me up. So any great iron sources, etc are right up my alley as well :)
    AJ @ NutriFitMama recently posted…Recipe Suggestions Needed and Thinking Out Loud ThursdayMy Profile

    1. I’ll definitely add that to my list! We [unfortunately] aren’t taught much more than the bare basics in terms of nutrition (makes me sad :[ ), but I’ll see what I can dig up! :]

  6. Hrmmm I don’t know what your clinical rotations are like (I’m terrible, I know you posted them recently and I’ve forgotten!) but I wouldn’t mind a post on women’s fertility issues. Also, who could call you heartless?!
    jess meddows recently posted…The Bourbon Kings CrossMy Profile

    1. I’ll look into it! :] My OB/GYN rotation (that I’m completely dreading ._.) in May should hopefully offer some insight on that!

      The first guy I ever dated said I was heartless, but to be fair, he wasn’t wrong. :x I had no heart for him (and he wouldn’t let me leave D: ).

  7. I’m going to Check out your new February series–can it be things and situations we”re in love with?

    Also, will you be stopping by #LIPlinkup in conjuction with some of your other Friday linkups sometime? :)
    Linda @ TheFitty recently posted…This “Elitism” Bullshit That Goes With Being Vegan {WIAW #11} {#LIPlinkup #16}My Profile

    1. Yes indeed! Anything that you love will work!

      I’m going to try to! :D Is the next one next week? :o

      1. Indeed it is!
        Linda @ TheFitty recently posted…THE 100 WORKOUTMy Profile

        1. I shall try! I’ve got posts scheduled for the rest of the month and try not to double-post in a single day if I can help it, buttt we shall see what I can finagle! :P

  8. I love the medical mondays idea! I’ve been a pediatric intensive care nurse for 13 years now! I’m glad I found you from the Foodie Friday linkups!
    Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes recently posted…10 Steps to Becoming a Morning Workout JunkieMy Profile

    1. Yay! That’s awesome, and thank you for everything you do! <3 My mom works in NICU! :D

      I'm always super glad to see your contributions! :D They always look so good!

  9. I’m so impressed you’re able to do your blog on top of med school! Looks great!
    Elizabeth @ Enjoy Every Bite recently posted…My Favorite {Free} Tech Tools for Healthy LivingMy Profile

    1. Thank you! :D! I mass-schedule my posts in my pockets of free time, hehehe. :]

  10. I don’t have a blogging schedule per se but I do keep a running list of topics that I want to blog about and then I schedule which ones I am going to cover the following week. It seems to work for me most of the time.
    Betsy recently posted…Stitch Fix Review #7: February 2015My Profile

    1. Ooo, same here! It’s somewhat of a mess though because I just hot down everything into a notebook and there are a billion things I want to write about. :o

  11. You all have noticed that I have a schedule of sorts. It helps a lot for me because I think otherwise i would just be a free for all at all times!
    Susie @ SuzLyfe recently posted…Walmart Gluten Free For Less: Budget Friendly NutritionMy Profile

    1. Haha, that’s how I’d be too! I do like leaving leeway for random days though! :]

  12. I like this I really need to make a schedule like this, I am at least writing things down now so it’s a start and I may check out some of the parties you mentioned =)
    thanks for sharing
    Christine Gallagher recently posted…15 Easy seasonal crafts for kidsMy Profile

    1. hehe, I started with a spiral-bound notebook to just jot ideas into, and have since turned it into my super-messy-looking (but works for me) blog scheduling planner.

      We’d love to have you join us! :D

  13. The only scheduled post I have are my weekly weigh ins on Wednesday (although I didn’t publish yesterday’s yet). Whenever a recipe strikes me it’s published on Tasty Tuesday. Thursdays are generally for guest posts (or when I don’t finish my Wednesday one LOL).
    Cassi recently posted…Maintenance Week 3 with a GiveawayMy Profile

    1. hahaha, I feel ya! Wednesdays, Thursdays and weekends tend to be my time for catch-up posts! ;P

  14. I try to blog on a schedule. I think it provides a rhythm to the blog.. but for a good reason I will mix it up. Sounds like you are doing great. I still can’t believe you pull off this blog WHILE doing your rotations! You are fierce!
    Julie @ Running in a Skirt recently posted…Hummingbird SmoothieMy Profile

    1. hehehe, thanks! <3 I'm super type A in the sense that I really like having plans of action, and since I can't completely implement that on my school life, I figured I'd at least get my blog under control! :P

  15. I can always use more organization in my life! I really don’t stick to a blogging schedule and I really need to post more. It’s so impressive that you’re able to post that frequently and keep up with all your medical school work!

    1. It’s definitely a struggle sometimes, but I kinda use my blog to keep me sane. :]! There will probably be a hugeee drop-off later on this year when I’m on away rotations all over the country, but I figured I’d keep posting while I still can! :]

  16. I do blog on a schedule but I give myself days to blog about random stuff. I have changed it up and now I think I have a good schedule going for the week. I take the weekends off so I can fully recharge.
    Lesley recently posted…Classic MoviesMy Profile

    1. Nice! I think it’s important to give yourself some license for randomness and to take a break! I’ve been trying to do that more lately as well! :]

  17. I love your blogging schedule. I plan out my posts every month and keep track of them on CoSchedule which is the Editorial Calendar/Social Media Scheduling tool I use. I’m definitely going to check out the fitness linkup. I’m impressed that you’re able to go to medical school and blog too! I’m happy to have found you and look forward to following!
    Kimberly recently posted…Make money blogging! 10 steps to monetize your blog today!My Profile

    1. Yay! I’m glad to have found you as well! When I have pockets of free time (e.g. after each shelf exam), I usually write a billion posts and schedule them about a month in advance, haha. That’s probably the only way I’d ever be able to blog regularly! :P Gotta love that “schedule post” feature!

  18. You sound like one busy lady! What made you decide that you want to work with underserved populations when you’re done med school?
    Fiona @ Get Fit Fiona recently posted…Bacon Spinach Pasta RecipeMy Profile

    1. There’s too much I wanna do with my life, so I get a little stir-crazy when I’m not being kept busy! :P

      During undergrad, I volunteered as an interpreter and patient advocate at a free primary clinic (staffed entirely by volunteers) for a mostly uninsured + under-served population. They’re a huge part of what inspired me to go into medicine to begin with, and I’d love to go back there to volunteer as a physician someday! :]

  19. I’m always amazed at how you fit it all in! I have found that having a schedule has helped me too- there are so many things to organize with blogging and being in a routine helps for sure :)
    Annmarie recently posted…Wrap Yourself in T-Shirt Memories with Project Repat!My Profile

    1. Aww, thanks, Annmarie! <3 The schedule has definitely been helping me in terms of having some kind of a routine in my life again (that's how I operate best, but med school doesn't exactly lend me the license to do much of that, haha). Hopefully it'll help with my organization as well!

    I should probably create a home schedule, in the same vein as your blog. Things to improve my personal life, anyways. Plus, it oughta be better than my “work, gym, sleep” schedule, haha.

    1. hahaha, that sounds like a pretty awesome schedule to me! :P But yeah, I do really like having a plan/routine in my life–it ups my efficiency like no other! :]

  21. That’s my next goal, blogging schedule! I have so many things I want to write about but I really need some organization. I just came across your blog and I am really enjoying it. I also love fitness and learning anything related to health. Looking forward to your posts and adventures.

    1. Yay! I’m so glad you found my blog as well, because it also led me to yours! :D (The header on your blog is super pretty! <3 )

      Organizing my blog was something I'd been putting off for ages, so I figured I should get on that! :P Looking forward to reading your posts as well! :]

  22. At this point, organization is a no go lol. I’ve been so busy these past few months and I’m traveling so much for racing and other reasons that I haven’t been able to keep to a regular writing schedule. Just trying to blog when I can! I like the Dish the Fit linkup though, and I try to join in on that one whenever I’m thinking about it. :-)
    Montana Ross recently posted…5 Beginner Yoga Poses to LearnMy Profile

    1. I feel ya! That’ll be the basis of my life for the second half of this year, so I figured I’d blog while I still could. I’m glad I still get to read some posts from you though! I hope things calm down soon! <3

  23. Hi, a new reader from the grow your blog! It looks like you have created a great schedule, good luck!
    Sara @ lifebetweenthemiles recently posted…I need YOUR help!My Profile

    1. Thank you! I hope it works out for at least the first half of this year! :]

  24. I don’t currently follow a blogging schedule, but it certainly seems like it could make things a little easier…and possibly stop me from rambling about nothing ;) I will try to start participating in the fitness link ups, looks fun!
    Sarah H recently posted…Cauliflower Soup RecipeMy Profile

    1. hahaha, I am all too talented at rambling about nothing, so I figured implementing a blog schedule would help remedy that! ;P Looking forward to reading your posts! :]

  25. Heartless? Wow. I’m shocked someone would actually say that. I don’t take you as a heartless person, so I hope you didn’t take the comment too seriously. Sounds like you’re keeping very busy with school and blogging and I can’t wait to hear more about what you have in store for Medical Mondays!
    Tricia @ A Couple of Dashes recently posted…Quick & Easy Breakfast Recipes From The Skinny Confidential & GIVEAWAY!My Profile

    1. No worries! I took it super super unseriously (I don’t put much stock into what someone thinks of me if I don’t care about them :x ), so it is a-okay!

      I feel like my life’s goal may be to demolish all idle moments in my life, haha. I’m doing a pretttyyy good job of it thus far, but hoping I won’t burn out!

  26. I love that you have such a clear schedule laid out. I try to include a few repeat themes – mostly Foodie Friday and Friday Finds on my site. Workout Wednesday was another one I used to do once in a while, but I’ve kinda gotten off schedule. Your post makes me want to recommit to having a plan. Can’t wait to read more from you!
    Ali recently posted…The End of Another Whole30 Plus a SurveyMy Profile

    1. Foodie Fridays make me happy (I’m very food-oriented). I’ve never actually followed much of a schedule before in blogging, but I think it’ll be good for me (and my sanity)! Looking forward to reading your posts as well! :]

  27. Wow! You have a lot going on. Good luck with the organizing of both life and blog. I would love to read more about anemia on the Medical Monday series.
    Ima Mosier recently posted…365 Challenge X 2My Profile

    1. Thank you! :D

      Awesome! I will definitely work that one in! There are so, so many different types! :o

  28. great organization! I am glad you are sharing some medical info on Monday’s – you are paying big bucks for that college education and if you want to share it with us for free I am in!!!! thanks :) Keep up your studies!
    Mary Beth Jackson recently posted…Check in with 2015 :)My Profile

    1. hahaha, yeah, I figure this $50k/year tuition has to go somewhere, so I might as well share the wealth. (If only I could get the rest of the world to help shoulder the debt as well, HAW HAW.)

      I’ll eventually get it paid back someday. :_;

  29. I’m so impressed you find time for regular blogging while in medical school. Kudos! :)

    All of those linkups sound fun. I’ve actually never participated in one but would try the Foodie Fridays one. I heart delicious food – especially of the healthy variety!
    Sun recently posted…Diet LatelyMy Profile

    1. Thank you! :]

      Healthy delicious food makes my world go round! We’d love to have you contribute to Foodie Fridays! :D

  30. You must have amazing time management skills, Farrah! Really impressive that you balance everything that you do :) I’d love to join in on one of your linkups sometime.
    Denise @ Healthy Disney Family recently posted…Ladybug Run 5k, 10k, Kids RacesMy Profile

    1. hehehe, thank you! <3 I got that sucker (time management) down in undergrad, when I was committing academic suicide by taking a billion classes and volunteering all over the place while holding down a couple jobs and club officer positions! ;P

  31. Hi there! I’m here from the Grow Your Blog Hop and I love your blog. I think its awesome that you’re applying your med school training with your interests and blog! I look forward to reading, especially on Medical Mondays! I’m a former lab geek and current public health and fitness pro, so the geek in me loves that stuff!!
    Jenn @ Run with Sole recently posted…Run the Rock n Roll San Diego Half Marathon with Sole!My Profile

    1. Yay! So glad to “meet” you! :] I figured I should at least somewhat incorporate the thing that takes up most hours of my life into my blog, so it came in the form of Medical Mondays! :P

      Looking forward to reading your posts as well! <3

    Wow, you sure do have a lot on your plate! I’ve struggled to balance work, fitness, and food ever since I started a “real job” too — it’s been 15 years, and I’m still working on it! Good luck and way to give it a go during med school. Tough stuff!

    1. It’s definitely a constant battle, but I like to think if we try our best, we’ll eventually figure something out! :] Thank you!

  33. Insomnia!

    I have a format that I follow. Sunday open. Monday giveaway. Tuesday “Tried It Tuesday” (now a link up with Lake Shore Runner), Weds Giveaway round up with Smitha, Thurs open, Friday “Friday Finds”, Sat off.

    I am loving ToDoist for my todo lists!

    1. Ooo, that’s a great one! Will add it to my list! Thank you! <3

      I like the format you have! It does a great job of covering all bases! :]

      I am a total to-do-list junkie! I will definitely check that out! :D!

  34. I don’t follow any type of blogging schedule, I just blog whenever I have something interesting to say! (Which amounts to a couple times a week) Glad I found you through the Hop!
    katie @ fromicecreamtomarathon recently posted…A new gym and a new baby!!My Profile

    1. That works out well! :D I figured implementing a routine to some aspect of my life would make it function a little more efficiently, but we’ll see how long I can keep this up for! :P

  35. i used to be MWF blogger but its been a few months that I am off that schedule. With school and work, I cant keep up and dont want to post just for the sake of posting. I am looking forward for your medical monday posts :)
    Dixya @ Food, Pleasure, and Health recently posted…Kale, Leek, and Cheese FrittataMy Profile

    1. Definitely makes sense! It’s very likely that I’m gonna have to do that for the second half of this year and on!

  36. Great blog! I’m glad I found you via the Grow Your Blog Hop. I love all the different topics you have each week. I think I’ve joined Foodie Friday a few times, I need to start again, it was really fun! Best of luck in medical school. You rock!

    1. Thank you! :D Glad to have found you as well, and it’d be awesome to have you link up with us again! :]

  37. I’m totally intrigued about your medical post Monday’s, seriously looking forward to following you for those!
    As for organizing, I am a wedding planner so I have organization down to an art, but any other person who looks at my organization might disagree, LOL I put things where they make sense for me and my system, LOL
    But my only tip is and really the biggest key, start with one thing finish it, and then move to the next. Prioritize by what needs to be done first. I know, probably doesn’t sound like much help. But seriously, its the only way I keep life straight:) LOL
    I love that you have a blogging schedule, I do that too! I find it helps my readers who like to visit just on certain days, for certain things. It also gives me a little wider blogging option. But at the same time, forces me to not just blog about anything, but spend time to work on specific posts for specific times and I don’t know if others think the same as me, but I find the content is a bit more fulfilling when I do that, instead of random. However, I follow a few bloggers who are totally random and because of their personality I just love their blogs. So guess pretty much anything can work if you find your niche, LOL
    Kristy @Runaway Bridal Planner recently posted…You can be a friendly blog stalker tooMy Profile

    1. Thanks! :D I hope you like it!

      hahaha, I feel ya on that! I’m completely the same way. People look at my “organization” and tend to wonder how I manage to find anything, but the thing is…it’s MY organized mess. I know where everything is in this controlled chaos! :O (My mom has tried to straighten stuff up a couple times on me, and it took a million moons to find everything again.)

      Starting with one thing and finishing it before starting another is actually probably the best advice you could’ve given me! I have a really bad problem with having a crap ton of ideas and wanting to start them all, so I continually have half a billion projects going on at once. Sooo…it’s for-sure something I need to work on, and I appreciate the advice! :]!

      That’s a great way to look at it though! I’m not entirely sure what my “niche” is, although I’m assuming healthy living/fitness/food covers most of it! :P “Farrah’s life” would be even more accurate. :]

  38. I find it especially helpful to use my Google calendar to keep track of all of my blog posts. On Mondays I write my training log update for the previous week, and on Fridays I participate in the Friday Five linkup with the DC Trifecta. I leave the other days for other topics, and like you, avoid blogging on the weekends.
    Kathryn @ Dancing to Running recently posted…Friday Five – February 6th – Five Ways to Grow Your BlogMy Profile

    1. I really need to start using my Google calendar again! I don’t know how/why I ever stopped. D: The Friday Five linkup looks like fun! I may jump in from time to time (I generally don’t like to post more than once a day, but maybe if it coincides with food one of these weeks! :]!).

  39. I tend to write as posts come to me and occassionally join link-ups if I enjoy the topic of that particular week. I really enjoy the Friday Five link-up with my DC based blogging buds. Other than that, to stay organized I use a good old paper planner. I try to jot down any ideas I have as I go! I will try to join your fitness related link-up one of these days!
    Lisa @ Lisa Runs for Cupcakes recently posted…Find Your Voice: Grow AuthenticityMy Profile

    1. I’m a hybrid of computer and paper-based planning too! :D! It’d be awesome to have you in the fitness one–Jessica and Jill are amazing, and I love the [optional] themes they come up with each week! :]

  40. I am so impressed you’re able to manage med school AND blogging so frequently! You are my idol. I have a busy law practice and can only manage blogging two to three times per week.

    I look forward to following your Medical Mondays!
    Molly @alsoranagain recently posted…Would You Rather…My Profile

    1. Aww, thank you! Whenever I have pockets of spare time, I schedule a billion posts into the future, so very few of the ones I write are actually in real-time, haha. :x

      I hope you like em’! :]!

  41. Love this post! (and your blog)! Foodie Friday’s are my favourite, but I love reading your advise on health and fitness, which is something I’ve been taking more and more seriously lately.

    I’m also finding myself a bit overwhelmed on the scheduling recently, Blogging, responding and working is taking it’s toll.

    I’ve started following a Monday, Wednesday, Saturday posting schedule on the blog. I’m trying to get it a bit more structured so that each Monday is a new recipe, and Wednesday and Saturday are free for all!

    I’ve actually never participated in a link up and am not 100% sure on how they work…

    http://www.cookwineandthinker.com
    Laura recently posted…February Health GoalsMy Profile

    1. :] Aww, thank you so much! <3

      I think I was starting to get overwhelmed too, because I really love all the interaction, and try to respond to everyone who comments, and visit all their blogs too. But it gets super hard because there are so many awesome ones out there and I keep finding more and more! D: It's hard to balance, which is why I figured a schedule might help, since it at least puts a little more structure into my life. :O

      For linkups, (e.g. this week's Foodie Friday: http://www.fairyburger.com/thai-vegetable-curry-bowl/), at the very bottom, there’s a button you can click to add a link of your own (in this case, to whatever recipe you wanted to share) and then you fill our your name and email like you would for any comment, and then click submit! :]

      For the one I co-host, there’s a new [optional] theme every week that you can choose to follow, but we all love food, so there are definitely lots of free-for-all recipes as well. It’s a nice way to share posts with other bloggers with similar interests and I usually try to visit everyone who submits a link. :D

  42. Hi! I’m visiting from Grow Your Blog and I have to say this is incredibly helpful for me. I’m new in the blogging world and still struggle over what to write. I like the organization ideas and different things for different days! Very good info!
    Donna recently posted…Meal Prep ~ It Does a Body Good!My Profile

    1. Hi Donna! Welcome to the blogging world, and I’m so glad that this was helpful to you! :] You’re doing a wayyy better job than me on the branching out and connecting with other bloggers department! :P I was super antisocial with mine until spring of last year, so there’s a whole lot that I’m still learning! :]

  43. Visiting from the BlogHop…I love your idea of Medical Mondays. That’s an aspect that has been largely left out of the health and fitness blogging world. The fact that you can take what you are learning in med school and apply it here to help people before you’ve even graduated is awesome. I am a psychology student and have done a few posts on sports/exercise psychology and positive psychology – how to change your thinking ( a huge aspect of getting fit and weight loss). Great to “meet” you!

    1. Thank you! :D! That’s what I hope to add to the health and fitness blogging world (and hopefully it’ll simultaneously help me out with studying! :P ).

      Yay for sports/exercise psychology!! :] I studied exercise biology as one of my majors in undergrad and one of my all-time favorite professors was my exercise/sport psych professor! :] Great to “meet” you too, and can’t wait to check out your blog! :D
