Third day! I am enjoying each day more. I had a full day of training sessions, and between one and other some breaks! Each breaks more food. It is really hard to keep track of my diet with so many delicious things around me all day long. Today I tried the Yagoot – a frozen yogurt brand from Cincinnati. It is not considered sweet and I just used fruits as toppings. It was refreshing, delicious and I looked in the website and it has only 120 calories and is 99% fat free! What a pleasure to discover a delicious, refreshing and healthy desert! more…

My night was good until our cat started to miau… for the first time I had the sensation of being woke by a kid in the middle of the night. We didn’t know what happened to her… she had never did that before. We believe she is thinking the new how is weird: too big, no furniture to hide herself… I hope she soon get used to that.

I arrived on time today! Actually one minute late because I got in the wrong building and an undergrad intern had to tell me the right one. My class of interns is formed by 4 MBA and 10 undergrad students. They are really nice people and I had a great first day. more…

… and I am nervous! I don’t know what I am going to wear, I don’t know know what I need to bring with me, and actually I don’t know what to expected! A friend of mine that interned there least year, said that first day is about HR training, that I don’t need to worry about anything. more…

I felt my anxiety last night: I woke up at the middle of the night, and also at 7h30, before the alarm clock (programmed to 8h30). My heart was faster than usual and my mind didn’t stop one second. I was thinking about my summer job, but especially about my move. My home is a complete mess today… we badly have space to walk! And we started to get more worried about space. So, we found 3 main solutions: more…

Since I started my challenge, the last 3 ways were the first time I didn’t count calories. Of course now I am afraid of the scale… tomorrow is my weight day and I did exaggerate a lot those days! We had barbecue, mini hot dogs, pizza, and tons of alcohol… not that I drank too much, but I drank some Smirnoff ices (new green apple flavor… loved it!!) … and each one has 50 points… so you can image the final result. more…

The first funny thing of my day: the mother of the boy I took care yesterday wrote me an email thanking me and then saying that I put the diaper backwards! hahahahaha That is why it was losing in him… I really need to learn the basic things before thinking about being a mom hehehehehe

I took my friend Sarah to the airport and after that I took care of myself: massage for 1 hour and then, for the first time, bikini wax! Even though I miss badly the salon I used to go in Brazil, and I taught I would like here, it was impossible to enjoy: TOO EXPENSIVE! $40 dollars to wax only the bikini area??? In Brazil with the money I would wax all my body! Anyway, I am ready to go to the beach! Can’t wait for that… I need to relax. more…

2h30 in the morning. I can’t sleep. So anxious about everything that I need to do and the things that are coming in my summer. I can’t fully relax. After a long day, my team almost finished our case wrap-up for a class. It is the final document we need to turn in; no final exams! The case is pretty good, nice to read and with a lot of cool information.

We decided to talk about Shoeboxed.com, a start-up company based here in Durham, with founders ranging from 24 to 26 years old. It was one additional contact that helped me understand how much I would love to ride this way… entrepreneurship! The idea is cool (organize receipts -> to become one day a paperless service). The office is clean, young, in an old building at downtown Durham. The business clothes are jeans, t shirts and flip-flops. What a dream! (not the flip flop part. I don’t think it is beautiful with jeans! Sorry my American friends :) ) more…

After a nice and lazy Saturday, my Sunday was super busy! Since the time I woke up until now (and after writing my post) I am doing things to school. Cases and more cases, researches to write a case… Decision models case… oh my God! I don’t want to do case anymore… but at least I am glad that it is the final week of this nightmare that I created as my Term 4! Friends enjoying dinner together, drinks together, wine with family… and I am here with my laptop! more…

I think I have never written here about my gum’s passion. Actually is kind of addiction. I believe I eat in average 10 gums per day. Of course, they are diet. Normally it is Trident, my favorite brand! I don’t know how I became so addicted to gums, but it is so strong that if I don’t have some with me I start to look around to ask someone.

I know that gum has calories, but unfortunately that is the only thing I had never counted in my day. So maybe I should say that since I started my diet I consumed the calories reported here + 10 gums! Do you think I would have lost more weight if I haven’t had all those gum? more…

After a cold winter, the spring is bringing sunny days for us! The temperature right now is exactly my favorite one… warm during the day, and chilli at evening! It is much easier wake up without the fear of having to take off ice from the car before 8am class! It is more exciting go to the gym during meetings, since I am not suffer with lower temperatures. more…
