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 …

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

career, diet, health and fitness / 2 Comments

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 …
