Restaurant Review: KnowFat Lifestyle Grille

career, travel / 5 Comments

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. …

Looks like I’m a-travelin’!

career / 5 Comments

I’m writing this from my seat in 35A on the Delta Shuttle to Boston, where I am proud to say I turned down the bagel and cream cheese offered to me by the flight attendant. I had a bowl of cut fruit when I was at the airport, and I’m still a bit hungry but I think I’ll wait till I land so I can eat something other than the equivalent of five pieces of bread (yes, calorically that’s about what a regular-sized plain bagel is. Worse if you get a flavored bagel like Asiago Cheese or Cinnamon Crunch, my …

Random Thoughts on a Friday

career, running, travel / 9 Comments

I did much better today than yesterday at the conference. After the cookie incident in the afternoon, there was another cookie incident – I had a few glasses of wine that helped me decide it would be a good idea to chow down on two more cookies for dessert. On the positive side, after the original cookie incident, I found out that my meeting actually started at 5 instead of 4, so I threw on some workout clothes and got in a quick 2.4 miles on the treadmill before showering, throwing my business clothes back on, and returning to the …

Not so healthy…

career, travel / 4 Comments

Just got to my hotel in the middle of nowhere in Delaware. It’s the Doubletree, and they give you a chocolate chip cookie upon arrival. I knew this, and had big plans to eat half the cookie and triumphantly flush the rest down the toilet, then go online and post about how awesome I was. Unfortunately, I ate the whole thing. And then still ate the apple I brought with me that was supposed to be my reward for not eating the cookie. Wow, I suck at traveling.

What would you do if money was no object?

career, goal setting / 3 Comments

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 …
