Showing posts with the label TV segment

Approach change with curiosity and exploration.

  Looking at this picture from seven years ago, I remember how nervous I was for every live TV segment that I did with News4Jax. I'd prepare for hours.....all for a 2.5 minute segment. Despite the nerves and unpredictable nature of speaking live (for the entire city to see), I would always finish the segment with relief and the feeling that it wasn't as scary as I imagined it to be. Overtime, I became more comfortable speaking live and started to look forward to each new opportunity. Trying something new can be intimidating but here's no time like the present to try something you've never done before! Change is hard. Despite your best efforts, you may find yourself always reverting back to old behaviors and habits. Going from something familiar and within your control to something that is unknown and unpredictable provokes a lot of fear.  Affected by a feeling of insecurity, you may find yourself with thoughts like "will I be successful?"

How to create the perfect meal smoothie

CREATING THE PERFECT SMOOTHIE TV SEGMENT (click above to watch my live TV segment from this morning) This morning I had a great time talking with Melanie about how to create the perfect meal smoothie on  News4Jax  during the 8 o'clock hour of the Morning Show.  Meal replacement shakes and workout recovery drinks have been around for some time and if you are on social media, it's likely that you have come across one or two smoothie pictures....in the last hour. But over the past few years, smoothies have been given a lot of attention from medical professionals, the health conscious, celebrities, dietitians and trainers for a lot of great reasons.                               When you are in control of the ingredients in your top of the line, heavy duty blender, smoothies are a delicious and easy way to hydrate and fill your body with powerful vitamins and minerals, antioxi...

Training, food and work - catching up

I love this quote. I'm sure you agree if you love your job.  This past week has been very busy for me (thus the lack of blogging) so I thought I'd catch you up.... MONDAY: I love my PRN (as needed) position at Baptist Medical Center Beaches because it allows me to help out the other clinical RDs when they need time off work. This gives me only a handful of days each month to put on my clinical dietitian hat but because the human body is so amazing, I always learn something new, every time I see patients in the hospital. This week I worked Mon, Tues, Wed (on call only), Thurs and Fri so it was really nice to follow patients all week and to spread some good health and cheer to those who were not well during this time of the year. But of course, being a clinical RD requires a lot of brain power so that leaves little energy in the evening for blogging.
