A Day In The Life \ Sarah

Here is a day in the life of my post grad, job hunting life. Enjoy!

As soon as I wake up in the morning I drink a tall glass of water. I make sure it's sitting on my mantel every night before bed so that I don't even have to get up to drink it in the morning. This is a little trick I got from one of the many food documentaries that Natasha and I watch on Netflix and I love it. It wakes you up and you start your day hydrated and feeling great. 

I love playing with this handsome guy in the mornings once we're both up.

And then I ate leftover pizza for breakfast... while I sent emails and job hunted.

I also finally put away my laundry. I have this bad habit of doing all my laundry start to finish expect for putting away the last load of dry clothes. They tent to take at least three days to get put away.

Then I needed a break and went to check out a new vintage store I discovered downtown. More about that here.

Since I was out I stopped by The Weekly Juicery to get some fresh vegetable juice to try and counteract the pizza breakfast. I picked up a few extras for tomorrow too.

Then it was home to drink my juice, catch up on my favorite blogs and watch some reruns of The Hills. The first three seasons are on Hulu Plus right now and I'm so hooked. It was on when I was in middle school and high school and now I'm the age that the girls are in the show and it's so funny to watch.

After putting it off all day I tried to go to hot yoga but the roads were so icy I had to turn around and go home. I'll try again in the morning. 

I ended my day watching and old German movie with Natasha for her film class. Then it was off to bed to read more Game of Thrones! I'm on book two :)

Resolution Progress

So believe it or not I'm actually doing reasonably well on my new years resolutions. (You can check them out here and Natasha's are here.) I read my one book this month and have already started on the second AND I've been working out.

I joined a yoga gym. Just a one month trial, but it's a start. It's Bikram hot yoga and boy is it hard. The first time I tried yoga years ago, I hated it. I was bored, it felt like we just help downward dog forever, I wanted to move and sprint. But after a few years of practice and time away from sprinting, I've come to love yoga. Not as some kind of spiritual inner peace peace practice, but just as a form of fitness it's fantastic. This is the first time I've actually ever done hot yoga but i'm slowly becoming a fan.  None of the moves are super physically demanding because of the heat, it's mostly deep stretching with some strength moves mixed in.

It's been so good for me. It's crazy how much one healthy decision can carry over into the rest of your life. I work out a few times and I find myself craving more vegetables and wanting to walk the dog more often, and I feel better already. I can't wait until I'm actually in shape again. 

I also read my first book of the month for January. I read the first book in the Song of Ice and Fire series, better known as Game of Thrones. I'm pretty much obsessed and kind of geek out anytime I find a fellow fan who wants to talk GoT with me. It's such a good story. I love that I can never predict what's going to happen because it's not one of those stories where you know the good guy is going to win in the end, not in GoT. I'm so anxious for the next season to premier on HBO. My goal is actually to finish the fourth book by April before the season starts, but that's thousands of pages of reading so we'll see.
