One year later, a whole lot stronger

health and fitness, travel / 2 Comments

Today was an extremely busy and productive day! Unfortunately, in order to accomplish everything and make my flight, I had to be up at 4:30am… yuck! I scurried through an abbreviated morning routine (no workout, shower) in order to catch my 6am flight home… but it was totally worth it in order to have a day in New York to just get things done. My project’s big launch was yesterday, so this week has been pretty intense and low on sleep. Last night, I bailed on the group dinner in favor of getting to bed early… but ended up not …

How I Lost 7 Pounds On Thanksgiving Day

travel / 2 Comments

When I left off with my travel tale, things were wonderful. However, on Tuesday, I started having some GI problems during the day. I didn’t think much about it while I was lying by the pool, but when I went to dinner that night, I started having some major stomachaches. I had planned for my last night to be a special dinner at the upscale Italian restaurant at the hotel – and it turned out to be a good thing that I wasn’t going far from home. By the end of the meal, my stomach was killing me, so I …

Blissing out in Peruvian paradise

travel / 2 Comments

After my night out in Pisco, I immediately went to bed when I got home – and did not set any kind of alarm for the next morning. Bliss! This is my favorite part of vacation. Despite this, I still woke up at 7am (probably because I had gone to bed at like 10pm). All the better to get a jump on my workout for the day before the sun really came out! While it was perfectly light out when I woke up, Paracas seemed to always be foggy in the morning – so much that every day I thought …

Touring Pisco – Day 2 in Peru

travel / 1 Comment

After a gorgeous ride through the desert and along the Peruvian coast (in which I alternately looked out the window and furiously typed my last blog post), I arrived at the gorgeous 5 star Hotel Paracas. It’s ranked in Starwood’s “Luxury Collection” and is on Condé Nast Traveler’s “Hot List,” so I knew I was in for a really special stay. Sure enough, we pulled into a gated circular drive and I was greeted by multiple staff – all of whom knew my name, and also offered “felicitationes!” on my promotion at work. I was then led to my gorgeous …

Buenos dias para Peru!

travel / 6 Comments

The last week was crazy for me, trying to wrap up all my outstanding work before vacation (I was still frantically trying to get last emails out while my plane was sitting on the tarmac as I was off to vacation) – which is why I didn’t blog about how psyched I was about my vacation. But here I am, having the time of my life – in PERU! So yeah, remember that new year’s resolution to visit four new countries this year? I pretty much killed that one. In order: The Bahamas, Switzerland, France, St. Maarten, Japan, and now …
