Barres and Bras

health and fitness / 7 Comments

This week I’ve really been lying low with my weeknight activities. It seems to have been a slow week for bookclubs, wine tastings, and other meetups, so most nights, my only plan has been to head home for a workout and some major TV catchup. With all the new fall shows, I’m totally behind, even on shows that I know I will love (um, Glee? From what I hear, that was me in high school… and yet I haven’t yet watched a single episode!). I guess the combination of being a musical theater girl and going home every night to …

Another ass-kicking from Jillian Michaels to get me back on the bandwagon

health and fitness / 18 Comments

I got back from Europe last night, and it was all too soon that I was back to the old grind this morning. I’ve been working from home for a while, and while it sounds like a totally awesome deal, it actually kind of sucks – I sit home by myself all day, in bed, and no matter how much work I do, I feel completely unproductive and lonely. I’ve taken to turning on the television as background noise for company, and this morning when I turned on the Today show, their special guest was none other than Jillian Michaels! …

In Helsinki

health and fitness, travel / 17 Comments

My brother, my Dad, and I have made it to Helsinki safely – my other brother was coming from Charleston and will meet us at the Warsaw airport. Our flight was good – a bit delayed for de-icing, but we had a long layover in Helsinki anyway so we still have plenty of time. I slept the whole way (thank you, lorizapam), so I’m fresh as a daisy feeling like it’s 9 AM (which it is, Helsinki time)… while Dad and my brother stayed up and are feeling like it’s 3 AM. Not my fault! I did wake up for …

Great success!

diet, goal setting, health and fitness / 11 Comments

Woke up this morning after a highly successful day yesterday! On Monday, I had lots of issues with waiting around for the cable guy (long story short, I had to sit in my apartment for eight hours while they kept telling me he was on his way and not to leave) so I didn’t get to finish my arms workout at the gym, or go for a run. I made up for that yesterday by hitting the gym early to take care of some weight lifting, and I’m impressed with how much stronger I am already. On the rowing machine, …

Chia, stop paying off Boyfriend to sabotage my weight loss

diet, goal setting, health and fitness / 20 Comments

Yesterday I planned to go on a long run in the morning, ending at Boyfriend’s place where I could enjoy the Westin Heavenly Shower I got him for Christmas. His phone was on vibrate across the room, so he didn’t hear me calling and didn’t give me a call until 5 PM, when it was already dark out. Last night, I planned to go to a free pilates class at Lululemon Athletics. I haven’t taken pilates in years and I used to hate it, but my core is stronger now than it was then, and yesterday was my day to …
