I have a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Tarleton State University, and for 5 years I taught music.
I recently left my teaching job in search of something else. So I’m now back in school getting another degree- this time in Nutrition. I’m going to be a Registered Dietitian! I’m almost finished with my third year and it’s not easy and a bit stressful, but I’m LOVING it!
I’m still loving playing the clarinet- every other Tuesday I get to play with an awesome group called the Paluxy Wind Symphony. Love it!
I been a vegetarian for almost a year now and I’m LOVING it!!! I feel amazing! I feel so much more joyful now- like this was the thing that was missing from my life. I feel so much healthier too!!
My weight loss journey…
I’ve lost around 40 pounds and I’m loving life! I’d like to lose about 20 more lbs, but I’ll get to that goal eventually! 
Before (around 210 lbs) and After
I guess that’s about it! Enjoy!!

Hi Sarah!!
Just found your blog- love keeping up with all the blogging RDs-to-be.
Great wedding photos and your pups are the cutest!
Hi Sarah – thanks for stopping by my blog! Congrats on your career change. Good luck in school, it’s a lot of fun!
Hey Sarah,
We went to school together in Alvarado, but I don’t know if you remember me. I considered becoming a Dietitian too, but became an x-ray technologist instead. Since I love to cook, I wish I had gone with something involving food, but I’m thinking of going back to school, too. For what…who knows? I’m working on it. Good luck to you, it’s good that you realized that your occupation wasn’t making you happy and that you had the courage to do something about it. Take Care,
Lara
Hi Sarah! Thanks for stopping by my blog. To answer your question, I think the most important thing is to not be afraid to try new things and experiment in the kitchen. I live in a place that is not very vegan friendly, so most of the time I have to rely on my own cooking. Aside from that, if you know you are going to a restaurant, check out the website or call ahead to make sure there is a veg option. Enjoy your new found veganism, and never hesitate to stop by and ask me any questions you might have.
Congrats on your weight loss and lifestyle change!
Thanks Amber!
v. excited to hopefully get to meet you when I’m in D-town this summer!
Me tooooooo!!!!
you got a very wonderful website, Sword lily I found it through yahoo.
Hey Sarah,
I’m not sure if we have met, but I am Dana Seals’ sister in law (married to her brother). I’m thinking I may have met you years ago when you all were in college, but I can’t remember for sure.
Anyways, this weekend I tried Dana’s batch of almond butter from your recipe and then she showed me your blog. So, I’m so ready to get home and make some of my own! It’s so yummy!
Also, I wanted to tell you that I’m an RD too so I was excited to see that you’re going that route too. I wish you so much luck as it is a very rewarding career. I love your recipes and hopefully I’ll see you at some point when we’re visiting TX.
Take care, Nora
I think we have met! Glad you liked the almond butter- it’s maybe my favorite thing in the world! Tina had mentioned that you were an RD the last time I chatted with her- what area of dietetics are you in? I’m thinking I want to do pediatric right now, but I still have two years of school left + internship, so who knows where I’ll end up!
HI Sarah. So strange how people meet. I do know you from the SO boards and you just met one of my best friends. No I feel like singing It’s a Small World if that song didn’t annoy me so much.
Indeed it is a small world! I didn’t even know you had a blog- so happy I found you!!!
Hi there! Just found your blog and wanted to stop in to say Hello!
What an amazing transformation! Way to go!
Hi Jenn! Thank you so much!!!
Hey Sarah! I found your blog while searching for vegan alternatives to Greek Yogurt.
I’m an art teacher looking to make a career change into the health & fitness world- just like you did!
It looks like we have a lot in common- similar weight loss, same age, and both moms to two doggies.
I look forward to reading your blog!
That’s awesome how much we have in common!! So glad you found me!!
Hi Sarah! It was so great meeting you in SF this last weekend at Foodbuzz! Your story is amazing and so is your blog. It’s fun to see your cute animals and other pictures! Thanks for hanging out this weekend and now I can follow your blog!
