Jillian Michaels calls us out / reality TV roundup

Uncategorized / 19 Comments

I don’t know what it is lately, but Jillian Michaels seems to be taking over my life right now. First on Monday I watched her on the Today show, then yesterday I got a double dose of her: not only was it Biggest Loser night, but she was also the guest on the Rachael Ray Show (yes, I watch that religiously when I work from home). On Rachael Ray, Jillian said that plateaus in weight loss are really just a figment of people’s imaginations; it’s more likely that the plateau is because they’ve been slacking and not counting calories as …

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! …

Trading the river run for an indoor cycle

health and fitness, running, travel / 2 Comments

This morning I managed to drag myself out of my Heavenly Bed at 5:45 AM, intending to get a nice long run in before getting ready and going off to work. Andy had kindly provided me with a great running map of the Charles River, which was good because I still haven’t gotten my act together to stop by the concierge desk and pick up the running maps that are supposed to be available. Unfortunately, when I pulled back the heavy curtains to see what the weather was like, I saw: darkness. Foiled by daylight savings. Being the hardcore runner …

My Biggest Loser Workout

goal setting, health and fitness, running, travel / 6 Comments

Tonight I worked out while watching The Biggest Loser, so you’ll get a combination of show review and personal workout routine. When I first heard Vegas, my initial reaction (even before they showed Bob’s reaction), was… what kind of reward is that? If you’re trying to lose weight, Vegas is NOT where you want to go. I would have rather seen a reward of “you can go to Vegas OR you can make the other team go.” It would have been much more interesting. The Blue Team working out together was really cute, especially when they were all on the …

Spirit of the Marathon

diet, goal setting, running, travel / 8 Comments

So like all the others who were slow to get their tickets the first time around and then heard what an awesome experience they missed out on, I went to see Spirit of the Marathon last night. Doing so was not an easy task. I normally fly out on Thursday nights, but there was no guarantee that I could get back to New York by 7:30 when the movie started, so I decided to stay in Boston an extra night and fly back early this morning instead. Unfortunately, there is some crazy winter storm that has cancelled the 7:30 and …
