Getting geared up for a workout is so hard, but darned if I don’t feel fantastic afterward. Life in general is so jam-packed that’s it’s not easy to always fit it in, and on business trips it can be near impossible. I want the endorphins, even when I’m on a week-long, three-city slog. You can…

Yes, it’s January. Yes, that means every ad you see or hear has something to do with losing weight or working out. But every year, darned if I don’t get swept up in the “Get Healthy!” fever. Of course, business travel is not conducive to good health! It’s so easy for frequent travelers to fall…

There’s not much worse than being stuck on a plane with a raging headache, no painkillers in sight. Or having an upset stomach at 3am in a hotel room, the helpful meds far away in the lobby. Or, worst of all, being in a foreign country, feeling terrible, and not sure which local medication will…

Ever since I was a kid I would drink a ton of water. However, I’m a water snob, I admit it. I love drinking water, but I refuse to drink it unless it tastes good. In high school my family moved to a city that had terrible tasting water, and my mom gave me so…

The holidays have come and gone, and with them parties, late nights, and food. Lots and lots of food. This is the time of year that just about all of us are trying to shed some of the extra pounds accumulated during all of the holiday merriment.  You would think having so many people with…

Staying well on the road

It seems like this time of year sickness just runs rampant. We have been lucky at our house that we’ve avoided anything major (other than severe allergies—thanks a lot cedar!) but it’s probably just a matter of time. Illness seems to multiply exponentially when flying, unfortunately for business travelers. When I start traveling again in…

Eating well on a business trip is difficult. Not only do you have typical office temptations like donuts, you have to eat out for most of your meals. When you are working a ton of hours away from home it’s easy to fall into the trap of eating whatever is handy. And believe it or…
