Mark my words! I'm getting caught up this week as I'm now nearly a full month behind. That just won't do!
Flash back to Friday, January 5. We just got back from a long vacation in Denver, Colorado, and the kitchen was nearly empty. So of course, I made the journey to Costco to stock up on a bunch of staple foods for the winter.
This is a workout all by itself, not just the trip there, but then also lugging two heavy duffle bags of food from Queens back to Brooklyn. I spent the rest of the day prepping food and cleaning up around the apartment. It was a big success after a few weeks away from home! I finished the day with 6385 steps.
Saturday, January 6, it started snowing. Check out the cover photo! Thank goodness I went to get groceries on Friday. I basically spent the entire day indoors watching FA Cup footie on TV. Once soccer ended, I transitioned to the last day of the NFL regular season.
Even though I sent my whole day engaged with sports, I did very little activity of my own. I finished the day with only 1614 steps.
Sunday, January 7, was a bit better for activity. With the weather cleared up a bit, I went out for another shopping trip. This time, Trader Joe's was the destination. The place was completely mobbed on a Sunday afternoon.
Unfortunately, they were out of a few key items that my partner loves, vegan Caesar dressing and ghost pepper salsa. But they still had a bunch of great items, like their nicely priced pasture-raised eggs and nutritional yeast, that I love to stock up on when I go there.
Both of the buses that I take to get there and back are just a few blocks from my apartment, so I didn't even take that many steps. And I only had one duffle bag to carry back, so it was much lighter (and cheaper) than my trip to Costco on Friday. I finished the day with 4840 steps.
Also sad to see my winter break come to an end, but at least Monday back at school was just a teacher prep day. The students don't return until Tuesday, so it will be nice getting eased back into the classroom.
There is so much more to talk about in January, but that's going to have to wait until tomorrow. For now, enjoy this bonus pic of my dad on the ski mountain from 60+ years ago!
