Wednesday night miscellany

career, diet, running, travel / 26 Comments

The past few weeks at work have been a bit crazy. The good news is, only one more day and I’m done in St. Louis! I’ve enjoyed it here, but I’ve been working long hours (nights, weekends, you name it – I even put in some hours in San Fran doing work). The project is going into a really relaxed phase, so I’m being dropped off the project starting Monday, and I may return to it in a few weeks, but that’s yet to be determined. In the meantime, I’m heading back to New York tomorrow and will be there …

Two days to go till the SF Marathon!

diet, running / 22 Comments

Recap of my totally amazing and guaranteed to get me sub-4 plan:1. I’ve been okay with the water, though I could do better. I’ve been really good with curbing the drinking – had a few glasses of wine on Wed night, but nothing last night. The problem is we have a big happy hour today at work to welcome the new hires. I’m going to try to make myself feel all special and important so I don’t indulge (“no drink for me, I’m running a marathon on Sunday”) but we’ll see how strong my willpower is.2. Yesterday I totally binged …

Healthy Meal: Kale Breakfast Smoothie

cooking, diet / 16 Comments

I mentioned that after running camp I wanted to start trying to eat cleaner foods. One thing I had at camp that was incredible is a raw breakfast smoothie.

However, I’m going to be eating a lot of protein later, so I skipped it. Also, it’s better if you chill after blending, but I was impatient and ate it at room temp 🙂 Nutrition info:68 calories for the kale90 calories for the banana35 calories for the blueberries40 calories for …

Why I can’t bring healthy stuff to work

career, diet, travel / 14 Comments

This week my hotel is next to a Trader Joe’s, so on Monday night, I went there and stocked up on healthy foods. Bran muffins, cereal, almond milk, some apples and oranges, etc. It was all in a grocery bag, and the only thing I ate was one muffin – everything else was brand new, unopened. And the muffin container was closed securely, and at the bottom of the bag, so it wouldn’t even be clear that it wasn’t new. We’re in a different team room this week, and there is barely desk space enough for our computers, let alone …

All riled up

diet / 9 Comments

I like iFit&Healthy for finding out about the latest health and fitness news – they do a pretty good job of catching most of the breaking news, and reviewing all the latest books and products. However, their latest review of The Wall Street Diet only served to piss me off. I know that the consulting lifestyle is hard to understand if you’re not living in it, but I hate it when people don’t get it and act as if it’s so easy for me to eat healthy and workout. For example, I like how the review says, “even if you …
