Lost my alpine mojo

travel / 5 Comments

On Thursday afternoon, I flew from DC to Boston on JetBlue. I was so excited to get to see myself on the airplane TVs… but then they didn’t end up showing it. I was really disappointed, particularly since I had skipped doing work in favor of staying glued to the TV so I wouldn’t miss it. Then, just as we were landing, one of the other commercials came on. Darn it! I was going to miss it by only a few minutes. We landed and the first commercial was still going, but then our pilot announced that our gate wasn’t …

running, travel / 12 Comments

I always worry about how much sleep I get two nights before the race, and today I did it right: slept in until 10am, for a whopping 11 hours of sleep! Amazing. I checked the view from the balcony, and quickly hurried downstairs to start soaking up the rays. Unfortunately, while it was mostly sunny, it was terribly windy on the beach, and the sun kept getting covered by passing clouds – making it chilly enough for me that I had goosebumps. After a few hours, I gave up on tanning, and instead headed to downtown Nassau to get some …

Pretty helpful! Miami was pretty cold – I was wearing my scarf and wool coat when I was outdoors catching the airport shuttle! – but I spent most of the day inside anyway. I debated whether to skip my workout today, given that I’m …

The dumbest travel move you can make

travel / 2 Comments

Sorry to be so MIA (missing in action, not Miami International Airport… and wow, I travel too much if I feel the need to clarify that). Anyway, things have been a bit nuts here. I’m winding down my project at work, but as anyone in consulting knows, finishing a project is never so much about “winding down” as it is “working your butt off till all hours as you scramble to wrap things up.” Furthermore, my next project is going to be at the same client, so they’re actually having me start working on that now – which means double …

Kicking the week off to a great start

diet, health and fitness, travel / 8 Comments

Today was a busy day! On the diet/exercise front, I did an awesome job. Today ended up being my first day I followed every single one of Rachel Cosgrove’s diet rules – a little silly that it’s taken me this long to get it right 🙂 For those not on the plan, the rules are: Breakfast within 15 mins of waking up Meals every 3-4 hours Different high-quality protein at every meal Fruit or veggie at every meal/snack No processed carbs Use healthy fats/oils freely Eliminate caloric beverages Drink 64 oz water/day Eat whole foods instead of bars/shakes Multivitamin and …
