Guess what, friends? Today is my 4 year blogging anniversary – wow! Hard to believe that I’ve been writing this blog nearly every day for the past 4 years. Thank you for reading and sharing in my adventures! It’s been so much fun sharing my life with you. Just for fun, here’s a link to my very first post. 🙂 Ahhhh, memories. Have any of you guys been reading my blog since the very beginning? A few years ago, I wrote more about my journey to blogging and why I love it – check it out!
It’s crazy how much I’ve done since starting this blog and I love that I have a place to relive so many milestones and memories. Since that very first post in 2009, I…
Worked on prerequisites and applied to grad schools, was accepted to & decided to go to UNC.
Ran my first half marathon (and 8 halfs later, I’m now training for my first full marathon!)
Moved to North Carolina for grad school. Fell in love with Chapel Hill and with these ladies. <3
Finished grad school coursework & moved back to DC to do my dietetic internships.
Graduated with my Masters of Public Health in Nutrition from UNC Chapel Hill.
Passed the national exam to officially become a Registered Dietitian!
Started my own online-based nutrition counseling private practice (AnneTheRD.com).
It’s so cool to look back on all this stuff via my blog. Also, fun fact: this wasn’t my first blog! My first blog was actually a travel blog that I wrote once a week or so for friends and family while teaching English in Prague.
And now, in honor of the blogiversary, I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite posts and recipes from over the years. Enjoy!
