No holding back,

just all out living.

Here’s to open hearts,

and friendly faces.

To learning news things

and exploring new places.

Here’s to enjoying good food

with the company of friends.

To learning to bloom,

instead of just blend.

This week has been amazing so far…and we’re only two (or three…depending on when you read this!) days in! Starting the Spring semester at school, having my first Senate meeting back, getting tweeted by AN OFFICE STAR (life maker right there!), and so many other wonderful little things that just make me feel like a new chapter is really beginning for me. I’m excited friends…really excited.

So let’s keep the good times going with this week’s WIAW:

Sorry for the lack of meals this week! I guess I got a little to excited about them and forgot to snap pics before digging in. But don’t worry, they’ll be more on the food front later this week with some new products I’ve sampled and want to share with you all. Plus I found some so called health “tips” that have been widely spread and followed but actually are complete myths! Can’t wait to share.

And just another reminder…keep telling me the ways you’ve lent a {healthy} hand this week! You can leave a comment, tweet me, write me on FB, or email me (proulxkr@roadrunner.com) and you’ll be featured in my weekly Lend a {Healthy} Hand round up! And this week is extra special because if you submit something, you will be entered to win my HUGE grab bag giveaway I have going on!

Todays’s Healthy Help: Sent a letter to a friend who’s going through a rough time right now.

    So cool that you were tweated by her!! My healthy help today was pretty serious, but I talked to a friend about getting her help for what is clearly an eating disorder. It needed to be addressed and I’m happy to say she’s going to be helped.

      THAT IS AMAZING. Good for you for caring enough about your friend to speak up! She will thank you for that one day.

  • Carly @ Snack Therapy

    I left a note with a couple of bucks inside of it taped to a vending machine as one of my random acts of kindness honoring the lives lost in Newtown, Connecticut!

    And OMG on The Office tweet. I’m jealous :) .

    You have such fancy food! Love it :)

    Let’s just say that I’m craving some fish and sushi now. Our dining hall serve it, but… eh… questionable, you know?

    Glad that you got your new year off on a good foot. Good luck with school!

  • Sunnie@ModernGirlNutrition

    Love this post! As usual, everything looks great and your puppy is too cute:)

  • Devon @ Health in Equilibrium

    Yum! Did you come up with the nori-wrapped-pollock yourself? It looks so good! I never would have thought to do that!

    • http://healthyhelperblog.com Healthy Helper

      Yeah I did! I had some extra nori lying around and I just decided to use it up! It was really good! I love seaweed so I think it pairs well with any type of seafood.
