The past few weeks have been crazy. To be fair, much of my obligations have been self imposed and for fun (blowling with friends, going to see shows, marathon training runs), but since there isn't much wiggle room in my schedule, thing's have gotten a little...errr tight. Given my need to mental free time, coupled with the demands of school and work and sleep, I have NOT been getting up before work to run. I know. It's pretty bad. My weekly mileage looks more like that of someone training for a 5K than a marathon. Ooops.
Not to fear: Groupon has come to my rescue! New York Sports Club offered a one month "passport" membership for $24 and I jumped on it. There's a NYSC in the building where I work, which means I can squeeze in a few miles and a shower during lunch or between work and class whenever I can spare the hour. Awesome, back on track! (I'll give a full report on how it works out.)
Since I havevn't been running enough, I've been dealing with my emotional and mental overwhelm-ed-ness in other, not so productive, but equally fabulous ways:
Retail therapy! Who doesn't feel great when they have on some cute new underthings and new makeup?
Malbec! I got halfway through that glass, put it in the fridge to finish tomorrow and went to bed. Nothing like a little resveratrol for your health, right?
Expensive greek yogurt! Umm, just yum, so much yum. Plus, all I need to do is throw it in my lunchbag and breakfast is made. Quick, delicious and full of much needed protein to start my day off right.
HUGH JACKMAN! This Friday, LIVE on Broadway, with these wonderful ladies (my grad school classmates, Melayna drew this on the board before our design class last night, mad skills, no?).
What do you do when you just need to cut loose?

I love this! VS and Sephora are two of my favorite splurge shops! :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks fantastic! I’m a little puzzled by the amounts of the spicy miso paste though – since you only use half in this recipe, can’t one just make half in the 1st place? Is the benefit just having miso paste ready to go for the second round? Or some other secret? Techlazy.com Crazyask.com Howmate.com
