Adventures at Stratton

I’m a wee bit pathetic. Today’s the ski trip, but it’s 3 PM on a Saturday and I already am back at the condo, too tired to ski any more. My legs were screaming at me as I was taking turns, and overall I was just tired. I finally called it quits when we went on the first run we had done that day (which was pretty easy), and my muscles were literally shaking. I figured it would not be a good idea to stay out there if I wasn’t in control of my body. We had a discussion on …

Sitting makes you fat

I don’t think I can get away with propping my computer up to stand (and I definitely can’t install a standing desk, because I’m at a different desk every day), but at least now I know why I’ve been struggling to lose weight since starting my job. I sit and work for about 12 hours/day! Tonight I’m staying in Boston instead of flying back to NYC, while the rest of my team will be leaving around 4 PM to catch their flights to various places. That means I can leave at 4 also and actually run outside! In the daylight! …

Eating healthy is a CLM

I just committed a huge CLM. Translation for those of you not in consulting: Career Limiting Move. Usually this applies to things like screwing up a detail on something we send to the client, checking a bag at the airport, or forgetting a jacket when you’re supposed to wear business formal. Tonight I learned of another CLM: trying to be healthy. Today our workload was manageable, and I didn’t have any team dinners or events planned for the evening. I planned to get some kind of healthy food, relax in my room while eating, and then watch Biggest Loser and …
