I don’t have a particularly fantastic work schedule at the moment, but at least I’m on day shift for the entire month. So I’m certainly not complaining! After a sweaty morning sesh with Jillian, I enjoyed a scone before heading into the office hospital. Here’s the stash I brought along. What a snack scene! That would be, dehydrated apple rings, dark chocolate covered edamame, candied ginger, Nature’s Path Chococonut bar, mini PB cookie Larabar, mixed dried fruit, and a baggie of home-made cereal/nut/dried fruit trail mix. Breakfast number two was oats with a… Read more >

Well, that whole 405 “carmaggedon” thing turned out to be quite a bust. After hearing months and months of hype, I think everyone was expecting the worst…which caused people to take extraordinary measures (like riding your bike to work and then spending the weekend sleeping over at your cousin’s house). I had it better than many of my coworkers, who were put up in dorm rooms. But I wish I had just ignored all the hoopla and slept in my own bed, down my normal AM workout routine, and driven to work. Like every other… Read more >

Since I am working all day shifts this month (hooray!) I have been doing my usual 4 am rise-and-shine before work. Taking Jillian on at the crack of dawn may seem crazy to most people, but I feel like a bada$$ when I’m done. So worth it. Since I did level 3 of The Shred the previous day, I decided to switch it up on Wednesday. I buy fitness magazines from time to time (they are my rare grocery store check-out treats), but I never do the workouts inside. Not that I’m an expert… Read more >

So here’s the sitch. Did I mention I have a triathlon in under 30 days. Problem? Yes. It gets worse. I got in an accident yesterday while riding my bike, which I was in denial about until I went to work today…and wound up in the ER half way through my shift. I feel like I got hit by a bus. I am so so sore. It’s unbelievable. I have less than 50% range of motion in my neck and my tailbone is badly bruised. I basically feel stiff all over. Anyway. I don’t… Read more >

Kyle’s cousin from Norway is visiting, so even though I’ve been working for most of her time in LA, I managed to join up for dinner and drinks the other night. We got drinks at The Misfit (rapidly climbing the charts in favorite Santa Monica bar/restaurants). The above is a Gin Fizz – minus egg whites which are apparently a normal component of the drink? Weird. The drink was delightful, but got me kinda wasted. I’m so pathetic. It takes nothing to get me drunk nowadays. Fortunately we were off to dinner after that. Stopped… Read more >
