Greens & Coffee Beans is officially one year old today!
The time has absolutely flown by and I can’t even believe it has been a year since I’ve started this little blog. Where has the time gone? I feel like so much has happened in the past year! Let’s take a look back shall we?
February:
My first post ever! (can we all agree that first posts are the most awkward?)
I auditioned for my Pilates teaching job (and got it!)
March:
Made chocolate oatmeal protein pancakes with peanut butter topping which is my most popular recipe
April:
Went gluten-free and my tummy was very happy about it!
Ran the Autism Speaks 5K
May:
Finished my Junior year of college and moved out of the dorms FOR GOOD
Ran a 4 mile Sticky Bun Run and my first 10K
Went to the farmer’s market a bunch
June:
My brothers graduated high school
I started Jamie Eason’s LiveFit Trainer, and got some muscles!
And had a few more trips to the farmer’s market.
July:
I volunteered at a triathlon and found my grandmother’s peanut butter machine (in the same week! It was a good one)
Lost someone I went to middle school with
Watched the Olympics like a crazy person. Seriously, I watched every single sport.
August:
I tried my first CrossFit class and almost joined the cult.
Went to the farmer’s market AGAIN (theme here?)
Started my senior year of college
September:
Learned how to eat healthy on a (small) college budget
Ran the Mayview Madness 5K (my legs still hurt thinking about that elevation!)
Checked out the Watauga County Farmer’s Market. More than once
October:
Ran the Triangle Run/Walk for Autism 5K while home for fall break and got new running shoes!
Went to my senior homecoming game
Cooked up some pretty tasty chili
And you guessed it, spent more time at the farmer’s market
November:
My artwork was published in a book!
Celebrated Thanksgiving with my family and my 6th anniversary with my boyfriend
And had a Friendsgiving! Complete with cranberry sauce of course.
December:
I became a Tribesports Ambassador!
Celebrated Christmas with my family
January:
Had my last first day of school
Took a day trip to Asheville & had a French party!
Which brings us to February!

/ February 20, 2013I’m not sure how I’d suggest any improvements to your blog, I’ve read a lot of your posts and I really enjoy how you mix healthy eating and exercising in with your everyday life! I guess I’d maybe like to see more recipes. I can’t say anything I’d like to see less of, lol. Maybe if you gave some tips for novice runners?
