Massive Health Data

Ashley Pariseau — Sat, 26 May 2012 17:44:26 +0000

Someone on a forum posted a link to this site which I have never seen before. It’s called Massive Health and it talks about facts about our health and eating habits.

http://data.massivehealth.com/#

I don’t know how much of everything on the site I actually agree with, but I know the anti-dieting advocates will have something to say about some of the things on there. So feel free to say what you think about the statements. Here are some highlights.

We eat less healthy than we think. For most, 12.4% less.

Eating breakfast helps us eat less and eat healthier throughout the day.

We eat more unhealthy food on the weekend.

We eat 12.7% healthier when we eat at home.

Our friends influence us of what we choose to eat by 34.5%

My thoughts are that generally we do think we are eating healthier than what we actually are. I don’t exclude myself from this either. I would like to start eating healthier, not to lose weight or anything but generally because I want to live longer and I want my future kids to eat healthy. Having a long term history of eating crap will have an affect on your body and I don’t want that.

What do you think about the information presented on the Massive Health site?

Trying to get back

Just a quick note: My posts lately have been and maybe still are going to be all over the map and inconsistent. I have felt somewhat mentally unfocused and disorganized than usual. Right now I need some time of simplicity to become refocused and regenerated, then I can put more of myself into my writing and posts.

I will be playing around with the appearance of this blog just to try some new things out. I have added a contact form on the contact page, so if you have any questions or comments, fill that out and it will be sent to my email.

Got my first led hoop the other day, and it’s awesome! Many video projects are ahead.

Hooping Goddesses

These women are amazing. I can only hope to become this good.

Photoshoot Previews

Ashley Pariseau — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 23:54:44 +0000

I did a photoshoot the other day for a headshot that is required of all contestants of Miss International. We were allowed to choose our own photographer and I decided to choose a local photographer who I trust to achieve the look I want. I have worked with this guy before because he is the same photographer who did my calendar shot last year. The official shots I will be submitting have yet to be edited (but not too much!) so I don’t want to post them just yet. However, here are some previews I have released which are basically behind the scenes snapshots my sister took during the shoot.

There are a lot more from this on my flickr account !

This was a fun shoot. There were 3 scenes including the one you see here, another with me in a different outfit and background, and then a third we just did for fun using one of my hula hoops. I will be posting the officials shortly!

LoveAshley @ Ultimate Blog Party 2012!

Ashley Pariseau — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 19:54:53 +0000

While doing my daily blog surfing, I came about this blog, 5MinutesForMom, talking about their Ultimate Blog Party 2012 and I knew I had to join. Bloggers are placed into categories, mine would best be described as a daily life and opinion blog, so this is my introductory post.

If you are from the blog party, my name is Ashley. I am a 20-something, not your average woman. I’m not married (yet) I don’t have any children. I do however, have many aspirations, interests, and thoughts. I’m working on a degree in journalism. I would love to write for a magazine but I’d also like to be able to do other kinds of journalism. I’ve been blogging on and off for about 10 years and I am by no means perfect at it, but writing and blogging are great passions of mine.

I’m a state pageant title holder, Miss Indiana International 2012, going for the title of Miss International this summer in Chicago. My personal platform I have chosen is raising awareness and prevention of domestic abuse. If you want to know more about that , visit here .

I tend to write thoughts on a variety of things from social commentary, feminist issues, thoughts on love and life, ways of the world, things that inspire me, and I also reveal a bit about my personal life and express myself through writing. This blog is a piece of who I am.

If you would like to know more about me, feel free to visit my About page. I have a photo album that I update at least weekly on flickr and also a youtube page where you can catch me hoop dancing and some other random home videos. Enjoy!

What is the hardest thing about being a Miss?

Ashley Pariseau — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 14:35:49 +0000

On my pageant bio page that is located here but not yet updated, are questions that each contestant will answer. The first question is ”What are the three (3) hardest things about being a Miss?“ In this case, Miss means a grown and unmarried woman.

I thought this was such a fabulous question, and I already have my answer but I don’t want to post it until the page is updated. So for now I want to ask you ladies…

What is the hardest thing about being a Miss in today’s world?

Congratulations to my sister!

Ashley Pariseau — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 14:17:06 +0000

I just wanted to take this post and say congratulations to my sister Danielle and her engagement to her long term boyfriend Chuckie! She called me last week and announced their wedding is planned for March 2013 and she wanted to let people know ahead of time so we can make plans to get down to Myrtle Beach. She also told me that she wants me to be a bridesmaid which I am excited about. I can’t wait! I always had a feeling she would be the first one out of us girls to be married. By the way, I just have to share how precious their proposal photos are.
