Ah, the Monday morning pat-down…

I get special security screening 90% of the time I travel, because I’m quite a suspicious character. I always buy my tickets at the airport, usually with less than an hour until the flight (sometimes, less than 30 minutes). I always buy one way tickets, never round-trip. Because who knows when the client will let me go home? I always glide through security with the self-assured air of someone who knows the system very well. Maybe too well. And clearly, I just look like a terrorist. Is it sad that when the security guard feels me up, that’s the most …

I’m in the Wall Street Journal!!!

Not in the “I ran Boston” fake sense either… I am actually in the WSJ. My name isn’t in there and it’s not the print version (though apparently they may be doing a writeup later), but the research paper that I co-authored was featured as the lead story on WSJ.com. Hopefully more press is forthcoming. I’m so excited!!! To get published and get national recognition as a first year analyst is way beyond my expectations, and I am thrilled. Today is going to be a good day! Wall Street Journal: Tech Lessons from Presidents

Vending machine dilemma

On my team, I’ve become known pretty quickly as the healthy one. I feel like it shouldn’t be that apparent – I make smart choices when I go out, but it’s more the result of me doing research before I leave the office to plan what I want before I get there. I’m never asking for calorie info at restaurants, and I also almost never get just a salad. I guess being healthy is such a big part of my lifestyle that it’s just obvious, which I guess is good. What’s interesting is, my team is ostensibly all about eating …

And now, live from my workout!

This post is coming to you direct from… the treadmill. As in, I am walking on the treadmill right now while typing this. How cool is that?! I’m staying at the Westin Copley Square this week, and while I was initially dismayed to find out that this particular Westin has discontinued the RunWestin program (where they have a “running concierge” who leads group running tours of the city every morning), I was mollified by getting a surprise: I got one of the two coveted WestinWorkout rooms on the property! WestinWorkout rooms come fully equipped with weights, a jump rope, a …

Restaurant Review: KnowFat Lifestyle Grille

Today was a fairly successful day as far as diet and exercise go. I dragged myself out of bed at 6 in order to work out before work, and actually got 20 minutes of arms resistance in. For breakfast, I splurged calorie-wise on some oat bran French toast from room service (but at least it was on the Hilton Eat Right menu, so it wasn’t terrible). It was great, but because it was just a bit higher than I wanted for breakfast, it meant that I couldn’t splurge for lunch. Now, I know it’s not great to eat fast food. …
