Breathe Out

goal setting, health and fitness, running, travel / 4 Comments

Today I was absolutely exhausted when I finished work – but I had planned on going to Flywheel, where one of my favorite instructors teaches on Thursday nights. It’s a rare Thursday night that I’m in Dallas, and I love Kelly’s class, so I forced myself to go. Surely it would be fine once I was there in the class right? Sadly not. My legs were weak and wimpy and not having it, and while I had gone into the class hoping that I would have a magic reprieve of energy, I knew by the third song that it wasn’t …

April Challenge: Focusing on Finances

goal setting, health and fitness / 11 Comments

Yesterday was officially the end of my March fashion challenge, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Last night, I had a minor meltdown while packing for the week. It sounds so silly, I know, but I could just not find anything that I thought looked okay together. One of the biggest things I’ve learned from my month of focusing on fashion is that accessories are key, and since I’m pretty much starting from scratch with my jewelry collection, that means starting from scratch with outfits. Not good when it’s already 8:30pm and I have to be up …

One year later, a whole lot stronger

health and fitness, travel / 2 Comments

Today was an extremely busy and productive day! Unfortunately, in order to accomplish everything and make my flight, I had to be up at 4:30am… yuck! I scurried through an abbreviated morning routine (no workout, shower) in order to catch my 6am flight home… but it was totally worth it in order to have a day in New York to just get things done. My project’s big launch was yesterday, so this week has been pretty intense and low on sleep. Last night, I bailed on the group dinner in favor of getting to bed early… but ended up not …

Breaking the Routine

diet, health and fitness, travel / 1 Comment

When I’m on the road, it can be hard to find healthy food. I end up finding one or two dishes at various local restaurants that are at last somewhat comparable to my home cooked meals, and then getting those all the time. The predictability is key – different restaurants do different preparations that can make a seemingly healthy dish terrible for you. Take, for example, my usual breakfast spot in Charlottesville – Cafe Cubano. My first time there, I made the mistake of ordering an egg white omelet with veggies but no cheese. Unfortunately, the plate that arrived to …

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 …
