Today has been proclaimed Registered Dietitians’ day by Pennsylvania State Governor Ed Rendell. That’s pretty cool. It means my state is acknowledging the work that RDs do. So I think today is a good day to start my blog on my journey to be a registered dietitian myself. If people are starting to recognize the dietitian field, then I need to start fulfilling my obligations as a future dietitian. I recently got accepted in to my school’s coordinated dietetic internship program. This means that next year I will be able to start my internship. I’m pretty excited for it! I am also working on my master’s degree in nutrition as well. This is my first year of graduate school and I must say, I finally found a field of work I am passionate about. So this blog will be where I share my passion. I plan to provide insight on what is happening in the dietetic field, on interesting tidbits I acquire on nutrition and fitness (I have been an athlete my whole life so I like to keep up on the fitness end as well as nutrition, I like to promote an overall healthy lifestyle. ) , and on recipes that I have created, modified, or are too delicious to keep to myself.
So before I close for today, I will leave my first tip: The weather is starting to warm up, get outside and go for a walk! Not only will 20-30 minutes outside in the sun provide you with enough vitamin D to meet the RDA (recommended dietary allowance) but 20-30 minutes of walking will burn 100-150 calories. Plus, sunshine and exercise are natural endorphin boosters, so you they are guaranteed to brighten your mood :)
