Weekend roundup

career, health and fitness / Leave a Comment

In all of my unhappy ruminating about my job and how it can make it hard to build relationships, I didn’t mention one of the perks I like best: that I usually get a three day weekend of sorts. From Monday to Thursday, I work at my client site (lately that’s in Texas and Virginia, for my client’s two locations). I work my butt off Monday through Thursday, putting in fairly long hours in part because there are no distractions. At the end of the night, I’m just going back to my hotel to work out and watch TV, so …

Mixing it up

diet, health and fitness / 3 Comments

While the Insanity program was good in that I could do it from home, I fell into a bit of a slump afterward because I wasn’t used to going to the gym. Insanity was just something I fit in – both timewise and in the corner of my hotel room – instead of something I had to make time to do. After finishing Insanity (well, kind of), I thought I deserved a little break. However, that “little break” ended up lasting for over a month where I was barely working out. Oops! The funny thing is, because I was paying …

Adjusting and Getting a Fresh Start

career, diet, health and fitness / 7 Comments

This week has been flying by! I’m headed back to NYC tonight because I have a company event to attend tomorrow. While I still will be working tomorrow and Friday, my time at the client was cut super short – first because I couldn’t find a flight to get me to the office before lunchtime on Monday, and then because I have to fly out this afternoon. To further exacerbate the problem, my client was at a different location Monday and Tuesday, so I really need to fit a week’s worth of questions/iterations with them into just 8 hours before …

Sexy Saturday: Part 1

health and fitness / 8 Comments

On Saturday, I had big dinner plans: some friends and I have formed a kind of “high end dining club,” where we go to really nice restaurants a few times a year. Saturday’s event was scheduled for Jean Georges (the main restaurant) at 8pm. I planned to spend the day working out and eating lightly in preparation for the seven course meal I was about to indulge in that night. I started the day with a pear ginger chocolate smoothie, then headed to a free session of yoga at JackRabbit UWS with my friend Sasha. I hadn’t done yoga in …

Weekend Fitventures

health and fitness, running / 5 Comments

As you saw in yesterday’s post, this weekend I really did my best to get back on track, fitness-wise. I’ve been progressing right along with Insanity, and last week I started the brutal month #2 (seriously, it makes month #1 look like a playground game for kids). I’ll be honest – the first day, I pushed play and then heard Shaun T announce that he was going to kick my butt… and I hit pause so I could have a little freak out before continuing. It actually helped a little bit that I did that, because I ended up more …
