How I’ve tested my stress response today

career / Leave a Comment

Back from vacation. Real post coming soon. But in the meantime, a quick list! How I’ve tested my stress response today: 1. Continued working through the 89234082348 emails that have accumulated in my inbox while I was on vacation. (Note to self: do not ever take vacation ever again unless retiring immediately after. Too hard to come back.) 2. Took my client up on the offer to try a Crossfit class in the parking lot during lunch (yes, in the Dallas heat). It turned out to be “Every Minute on the Minute” (which made me feel like one of the …

Acting with Intention

career, goal setting / 6 Comments

One of the most eye-opening things about my retreat this week has been seeing how there are a lot of people dealing with the same things. Sometimes I wonder if I’m crazy to spend so much time stressing about the food choices I make and working out on the road – I mean, thinking about these things that much has to be some kind of eating/exercise disorder, right? I’m very conscious of the fact that I read a lot of healthy living blogs, and that some of those blogs may either portray themselves unrealistically or flat-out be promoting unhealthy behavior. …

I’m a Greatist!

career / 3 Comments

I am very proud and very excited today to announce… my first Greatist article was published today! The topic I picked for my article should come as no surprise: Why Alcohol is Good For You. When I saw that appear on the “content list” of potential topics, I knew I couldn’t resist – and I was shocked how much research I was able to find on the subject. (Then again, who doesn’t like being forced to drink in the name of science? I definitely know at least one willing tester!) Before researching this article, I have to admit, I’ve always felt …

Homesickness and a Free Figure 4 Class!

career, health and fitness, travel / 5 Comments

Sometimes it can be really tough for me to be away from home all the time. I get jealous of my friends at home who are able to to do the little things, like cook dinner or meet up on a weeknight. Last night, it hit me particularly hard – I had only gotten 3 hours of sleep the night before (was up stressing about a bunch of things), and when we wrapped up work around 7:30pm, all I wanted to do was go back to the hotel, have a protein bar or two as a quick dinner, and immediately …

Working out to work my energy up

career, health and fitness / 3 Comments

I have been yawning all day. I’m starting to realize that this travel schedule is wreaking habit on my sleep schedule (yes, even despite second sleep, which doesn’t work now that I’ve switched to nonstop flights and need to spend the single flight preparing for the workday). On Mondays, I have to be up at 4:30am to get to Dallas by 9:30am (for the record, that does not include a workout), and then on Thursdays I get home at 12:30am (technically, that’s Friday) on my return flight… assuming it’s not delayed. Yikes! But this weekend, most of my friends are …
