Trying some new things

cooking, health and fitness / 5 Comments

To mark the start of the holiday weekend,I met up with some girlfriends at The Redhead for dinner, and then moved on to The Belgian Room for craft beer. Yum! Knowing that we were going to be getting free frites at The Belgian Room, I tried to go light on my entree at The Redhead, opting for the appetizer-size portion of shrimp and grits while all my girlfriends had the fried chicken platter (their specialty, and supposedly the best fried chicken in NYC). After tasting a bit of the chicken, I was a little sad I hadn’t gotten that as …

Diet inspiration from a lazy Sunday morning

cooking, diet, goal setting, health and fitness / 5 Comments

Despite my push to increase my workouts last week (successful, too – I logged 450 minutes of gym time in the last 7 days!), I have been gaining weight. I blame my all-inclusive trip to Punta Cana, my singledom that is encouraging me to go to bars and drink in order to meet guys in NYC, and my training last week that had catered food about which I had little to no choice in eating. Okay, so maybe those tequila shots with my team were another story… Speaking of which, last night I was out with my friend Kristen until …

Running through it

career, health and fitness / 4 Comments

I’ve run through breakups. I’ve run through rainstorms. I’ve run through depression. And today, I ran through a buy out of my company. Last night, I was out with my new team doing the normal consulting getting-to-know-you-routine. Unbeknownst to us, while we were throwing back coffee-flavored tequila shots at the bar (try it, it’s AWESOME!), all the partners in our firm were meeting in a conference room to vote on an offer to buy the firm. This morning I got up at 5am (!) to get in a good long workout and burn off the alcohol calories from the night …

Getting my exercise on!

diet, health and fitness, travel / 6 Comments

Last night, I had far too many beers – six. According to that study, that’s the average a white woman drinks in a month! What can I say, I’ve always been one to live by the motto of “go big or go home.” However, “going big” on beer is not so good for my waistline. Lately I’ve been really unhappy with the way my stomach is starting to pooch out – I don’t look my best in fitted dresses like I used to! I don’t think I’ve been eating THAT terribly, but it’s definitely time for a change – I’m …

Catch Up

diet, health and fitness, travel / 12 Comments

Gosh, I suck at posting. But I’m on a plane right now and reading Maureen Lipinski’s Not Ready for Mom Jeans (hilarious novel about a blogger who just became a new mom… reminds me of Jenn Lancaster‘s style), and her blogging has inspired me to get back on the horn. Get ready for the rundown! So the short version of the past week… worked my butt off in Chicago on a new project, worked my belly off at the gyms in Chicago as part of our firm’s fitness challenge (first day: 1.5 hours of elliptical, 30 minutes of strength training. …
