  • Finish what you started.

    Somehow, there’s nothing going on a whole lot going on all at once. This is what Daniel refers to as me “putting too much on my plate,” but sometimes my brain goes off on these tangents and thoughts just kind of flow freely. Here’s the thought process: I love beautiful things, particularly art and music.…

  • Exercise Updates

    I’m starting this morning off right. I slept in until 5:45, did sunrise yoga on the deck while listening to the surprisingly soothing sounds of the golf course, and am tackling a healthy, balanced, high calorie breakfast. My body is so out of whack from all the food they provide, my sleep schedule is off,…

  • ConocoPhillips

    Alright, guys, I finished my first “week” of work. Two days of tours, seminars, food, and presentations and I’m feeling pretty comfortable with the idea of being here. I have a “New Hire” class and we’re divided into two groups of twenty or so. Half of us are CoP and the other half are Phillips…

  • June 6.

    The day before June 7th, the infamous day that’s loomed over me since November as “the first day of work.” I can’t even begin to believe it’s here or that I’m here in Bartlesville already. Where does the time go? I’m wasting some now in the parking lot of the DMV waiting on them to…

  • Be kind!

    Let’s be honest: I could totally benefit from having this as a poster. I’m pretty bad about giving myself a harder time than is necessary even though I’m actually very comfortable with my body shape and size (special thanks Marilyn Monroe for starting the trend and to other curvy ladies like Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, the…

  • Ok.

    So day 1 & 2 went swimmingly. I met the couple I’m going to be living with this summer. Not only are they adorable, but their house is as well. My room is a pleasant and calming shade of blue, complete with a full/queen bed adorned with camel, white, and pale blue accents. Camel colored…

  • Getting Started

    Day 1 in Oklahoma: off to a great start. Got up & worked out in the hotel gym. Only managed 455 calories but I’m going to try & run tonight. 5 min elliptical warm up 10 min elliptical 20 burpees 30 push ups 10 min elliptical 40 lunges 50 lb lat pull down (3x 10)…

  • Onward, ho!

    “The time has come,” the Walrus said…” …to move to Oklahoma. Last night, I spent my last night “living” at my parents house for the foreseeable future. We loaded up my car, again, and got everything ready for the big trip. I saw Erica, Callie, Sigi, her boyfriend (Daniel), and Chance before I left, kissed…

  • Tips for staying on track?

    So word on the street is everyone gained 5-35 lbs during their training last summer with ConocoPhillips. They take you out to eat every meal, keep you up late, and exhaust you during the day, leaving rigorous exercise only viable for the extremely dedicated or freakishly energized. In all my exercise/nutrition education, I’ve come across…
