What would you do if money was no object?

With Friday’s post about my job, and me being away for the weekend but still unfortunately working right now, I thought it would be a good time to discuss a question my Director asks all new team members at our “welcome to the team” lunch. (On a side note, this week at that lunch, I did a great job eating healthy for the meal: no bread, drank water, and got grilled salmon with lentils as my entree… but then I ate a 700 cal bread pudding for dessert. It was SO worth it though.) Anyway, the question is: if all …

Shallow thoughts of a girl who wishes she were a cool runner

Those are really weird headphones poking out from under that girl’s headband. They look like pearl earrings. Wait, they are?! Wow, that is way too preppy… I can’t believe she’s wearing them while she runs. The two guys behind me seem to know EVERYONE. They keep saying hi to people. I wish I knew lots of people to say hi to. (Expletive expletive expletive) I think my left thigh is getting a bit sore. (Expletive). I am GOING to run this (expletive) race next weekend, and I am GOING to run 10 (expletive) miles today. I don’t care. It’s not …

Goodbye, Healthy Holiday Weekend… Hello, Mindless Hours With My Laptop!

I know a Friday doesn’t seem like a good day to blog about work, but I just got the good word that my three day weekend is no longer. I don’t even get a regular two day weekend. Instead, I get the dubious pleasure of heading into the office tomorrow, taking Sunday off, and then working Monday as well. At least Monday I can work remotely, which means my two day trip to Boston to visit my friend Adam is still on. I’m also trying to negotiate with my manager for a two hour break tomorrow so I can get …

Frustrated…

For the past few months, the 3FC forums have been a great community for me to get support. I’ve learned so much from the women there, and I think it’s a big part of what’s helped me get this far in my weight loss (7 pounds down, 5 to go!). Because everyone has been so helpful to me, I try to do my part to give back by providing support and encouragement to other people, and also answering a lot of the same questions that get asked over and over, that I now know the answers to. Yesterday, someone posted …

Healthy Meal: Blueberry-Onion Sauced Pork Tenderloin

When I bought those pork cutlets and was looking for something to do with them and cherries, I first started by looking for pork and fruit. This is one of the things that came up, and it looked great, so I saved it for later. Usually when I save things for later it means, oh, never, or at least a few months later. This one I pulled out immediately though, and I’m glad I did. As you can see from the pic, I paired it with beets and Normandy blend from Whole Foods (it’s haricots verts, carrots, and wax beans). …
