Day in the Life:
Allison Noel,
Management Consultant, Outdoor Exercise Enthusiast, New Mom, Christian
I’m a San Diego-based healthcare management consultant, outdoor exercise enthusiast, new mom, and Christian. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me running, body surfing, or playing volleyball at the beach with my husband and baby son. I recently celebrated my 30th birthday and hope to make it at least another 70 healthy years!
Location
San Diego, California
Personal Motto
“God did not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, love, and self discipline” – The Bible, 2 Timothy 1:7
Favorite Vegetable:
I have to pick just one!? I’ll go with carrots. Slathered in crunchy peanut butter, of course!
Favorite Exercise:
Triathlon training (swimming, biking, running, weightlifting)
What is your favorite daily habit?
Making my bed in the morning. Accomplishing something in the first 30 seconds of my day sets the tone for the rest of it.
Favorite way to relax:
Praising God for the blessings in my life.
Favorite book:
The bible
