It's not easy being healthy on the road...

Business travel sucks, there are no two ways about it.  Jammed into planes with a couple hundred infection vectors in a closed environment, not enough exercise, limited control over what food you get and the added stress of meetings and deadlines.  It doesn't make for an easy life.

However, you can be somewhat healthy, if not completely.  Walk the 13 blocks to your meeting instead of grabbing a cab.  Go to the salad bar in the grocery store instead of grabbing a sandwich at the pizza place next door, stuff like that.  So, while I didn't eat as well as I do at home, I was able to stay within my calorie limits over the last 2 days in New York, and have some really good Brazilian food while I was at it :-).

What I didn't get to do, however, was hit the treadmill at the hotel.  My exercise all came from walking around the city.

Also, I need a new "2 Day" business travel packing list.  I am wholly displeased with my travel minimalist performance on this trip.
