A Day in the Life – January 2016

It’s been five months since my last Day in The Life post so I thought it’d be fun to change things up today and share a glimpse into my Tuesday. If you want to peek behind the curtain more often, follow me (healthyhappier) on Snapchat!

5:35 AM: My alarm wakes me up from a very deep sleep. I know that today isn’t a day for pushing the snooze button since I have a class reserved on ClassPass for 6:30 AM.

5:40 AM: Wash my face to wake up and quickly change into workout clothes and grab my purse, coat and gloves. I packed my bag the night before since I have to shower and go directly to a work event after my workout.

5:45 AM: Make coffee using our new Nespresso maker and nibble on half a Nola Bar while skimming through work emails.

5:55 AM: Walk to the F subway station which is conveniently just a few doors away from our apartment. As the cold weather returns to New York, I’m more and more thankful for our proximity to the subway.

6:15 AM Spend the 20 minute subway ride reading the New York Times. I make sure to download the latest articles before I go into the subway.

6:30 AM Push myself through what feels like the hardest 45 minutes of my week. Jess’ High 45 class at Mile High Run Club never seems to get easier even though this is my third week going. Today’s workout includes hill work at inclines of 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 followed by sprints. Considering that the 43:48 includes the warm-up and cool-down, I’m thrilled with the distance I covered.

7:45 AM Leave Mile High after a quick shower and refresh. I even had the chance to say hi to Theodora as she prepared for her 7:30 AM class.

8:30 AM Arrive at The Modern for L2 Think Tank’s event, The Death of Pure Play retailers. The event was interesting and having the opportunity to attend it with my entire team was a pleasure.

11:00 AM Dash through the door, run upstairs and spend the next two hours on client meetings.

1: 00 PM Since our fridge and cabinets are depressingly bare, I opt for a green smoothie. I throw a frozen banana, kale, protein powder, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla, cinnamon and berries in the blender then top with a bit of crunch.

3:30 PM Take a quick break in between meetings to head to Trader Joe’s for a few groceries, including dinner ingredients.

4:00 PM Spend the next two hours working on a project and catching up on the days emails.

6:00 PM Discuss the details for an upcoming blog partnership with one of my favorite PR firms while snacking on my version of trail mix: pretzels, almonds, and dried cranberries.

7:30 PM Finally shut the computer and head downstairs to catch up with Bo while he cooks dinner. Dinner tonight is marinated pork tenderloin, roasted butternut squash and brussels sprouts. It was our first time buying Trader Joe’s pork tenderloin. It was better than we expected though I think we’ll buy the plain one next time versus the pre-marinated.

8:00 PM Eat dinner while watching Master of None.

8:45 PM Design wedding shower invitations for Meg and Russell’s shower that we’re hosting in March.

9:00 PM   Type this post.

9:20 PM  Wash my face, brush my teeth, apply moisturizer, change into pajamas and curl up in bed with a new book.

10:00 PM Double check my alarm is set for 6:05 since I’m meeting Zoe and Ashley for an Exhale Yoga class tomorrow morning before work.
