Recalibrating My Restaurant Portions

Beer_Flight_At_BRU

Given that we’re already two-thirds of the way through the month, I suppose it’s about time that I give you an update on how I’m doing with my friend Erica’s June Hot Body Challenge, yes? The first few days went pretty well. Looking at my diet as a “challenge” and a limited time in which I was supposed to make good decisions made it easier. (Even though I know all the psychology around it being bad to look at healthy eating as a “diet” instead of a “lifestyle.”) I even went to a work happy hour and made fairly reasonable …

Giveaway: Evolution Fresh #3DaysToGreen Juices!

Evolution Fresh Starbucks

Last Tuesday at this time, I was embarking on my two day juice cleanse. I didn’t love doing it because I prefer getting to eat big (healthy) meals, but I have to admit that the Protein Bar juices that I tried were pretty delicious! Plus, I was excited to get the chance to try a juice cleanse for a short period of time, since I’ve always been curious about what it would be like. (My friend Adam keeps telling me about his friend who is doing a sixty day juice cleanse and… no. Just no, thank you.) One of my …

Two-Day Juice Cleanse: My Experience

Market Juice at Computer

If you don’t follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you’re probably totally unaware… but for the last 48 hours, I tried my first juice cleanse. I had always heard about the benefits of juicing… but also heard a lot of negative things about people’s actual juice cleanse experiences, so had never been willing to bite the bullet and pay for one. (They can be pretty pricey!) But the Protein Bar, one of my favorite fast-casual restaurants, is launching a new line of cold-pressed raw juices (along with a cleansing program for when to drink them), and they put out a …

Measuring the Intangible: Why It’s So Important to Track Change

Precision MaxView Digital Bathroom Scale

While I wrote about my 2014 year in review last week, and also declared my word of the year for 2015, you may have noticed that I haven’t yet blogged about my new year’s resolutions. Don’t worry, I still have them! It’s just that this year, some of my goals are pretty intangible, and I’m still trying to figure out exactly how I want to quantify them. I’m a big believer that you’ll never achieve what you can’t track… but I keep seeing a lot of commentary online that takes the opposite view. This morning, I came across an interesting …

Healthy Indian Platter

Today was a pretty exciting day to be a Coloradan! In previous years, Election Day has never really been a big deal to me, since it’s always pretty clear which way the New York votes were going to go. But a lot of the races in Colorado today were pretty hotly contested, and could make a big difference at the national level in determining the swing of the House and Senate. I was in a training session today and so was able to get out of work early at 6pm, at which point I hightailed it out of Denver and …
