Did I say 15-hour day? More like 18 hours!

An intense Thursday which starts at 8am and finishes at 11pm.....phew!

After 10 min of morning yoga on the floor in my room (+ push-ups and abs), travel vitamin packet....I head out for my 30 min morning walk on an empty stomach :)

I meet - for the first time - the President of Readers Digest, Harold Clarke. A charming man who knows the book market like the palm of his hand, and who is intent on making my book - which launches in January - a best-seller. I trust him:)
We meet in Starbucks, so I get a roobois tea with splenda and soymilk + porridge sweetened with Truvia and with dried fruit. This will give me energy for the rest of the day.

I just have to cross the street for my interview with SELF, one of my favorite magazines. Then I have lunch and spend a little more time with Sara Hecht, our Director of Operations.


Lunch at Club House (OU): a buffalo burger (without the bread but with the fries) + green salad and tea for dessert

2 hrs of walking

After an active afternoon, we go for my first dinner at Mike's Bistro (OU), followed by an extremely pleasant and interesting second dinner :).

On the menu: merou ceviche + a little quinoa risotto with wild mushrooms for the first dinner, and burbot pate and green salad + 3 teaspoons of pecan tart for the second. I've avoided the worst!
