Product Launch: New Balance Psyche Sports Bras

health and fitness, travel / 5 Comments

Last night, I was invited to a special event: the launch of the new “Psyche” series of sports bras at New Balance Dallas. This new collection of sports bras is based on the premise that no two women are built the same, and it’s designed to have different contours for each style and offer lots of adjustments to customize the fit. What I expected to be your run-of-the-mill product reveal turned out to be a really unique event that taught me a lot. Upon arrival, I was introduced to Audrey Kirkland, who’s actually the head designer for the Psyche sports …

Burning the Candle at Both Ends

travel / 2 Comments

This weekend was really, truly excellent – but with a catch. Despite my Thursday night flight home being very delayed, I managed to get a decent night’s sleep – and woke up on Friday feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. I was able to sneak in a Refine Method class before starting work for the day, and that just got the day (and the month of February!) off to a great start. On Friday evening after work, I went to dinner with my former broker – he found the lovely apartment that I’ve been living in for six years, and we make …

Rewards and Punishments

goal setting, travel / 3 Comments

For the last two weeks, Brynn from the Refine Challenge has been asking us to focus on two very important things: punishments and rewards. Without consequences, it’s way too easy to do whatever you want! However (unfortunately?), we are all adults, and punishments and rewards exist for all the choices we make in our life. For me, attending or skipping a workout comes with its own inherent punishments/rewards. Last night, I stayed up way too late working on something, and when my alarm went off this morning for my 6am Flywheel class, I had zero interest in attending – more …

Dream It, Do It

goal setting, travel / 2 Comments

Monday is travel day, which means I get up at 4:30am ET, fly to Dallas, and work until 8pm ET before heading to my hotel to settle in (we try to leave early on Mondays). Usually, I am exhausted by the time I get to the hotel, and so I have a quiet night of gym time + food delivery. Last night, though, my friend Blake invited me to her wonderful group Bachelor watching extravaganza – made extra exciting because it was the first episode of the season! Thanks to the fabulous snark on Television Without Pity (and now the addition …

Making conscious use of my time

productivity, travel / 6 Comments

This weekend, I stuck around Dallas instead of flying home to NYC. BF flew in and we did a 5K Santa run with some friends, went to my company’s holiday party, and went to my first football game (the Steelers-Cowboys game at Cowboy Stadium). I had a wonderful time, but one of the best parts was not having to wake up at 3am CT on Monday morning. Bliss! Instead, I got up at 7am and then kind of half-assed a strength workout. I’m at a different hotel this week than usual, and the equipment setup wasn’t ideal. Unfortunately, I used …
