Free food. Picking blackberries. My Actifit Report Card: July 10 2026
A cooler cloudier day today. Of course I walked the dog in the morning and that's how I got a bunch of my steps.
Along the way I noticed that the blackberries are starting to become ripe. Now blackberries are an invasive plant that tends to take over large areas of places like parks.
It also happens to be a tasty plant with fruits that are nutritious. So... I decided it was time to start picking some fruit ... And then freeze it for later use in the year :)
5 minutes of work got roughly 500g (1lb) of berries. Considering that would easily cost $5 in the store I figure it was good use of my time.
After the dog walk? House chores. Make a bunch of iced tea to keep me away from coca cola. Made some homemade bread because its yummy :) Then it was off to the gym.
I walked to the gym which gave me the rest of my steps for the day. All together 2 hours from door to gym and back. I must be getting older because after walking home from the gym I was really sleepy (sigh).
But my son came home for the weekend so I had to chat with him. My younger son wanted to chat so I talked with him. Then I got to work doing a bunch of paper filing (super boring but I have to do it sometime).
Evening dog walk.... Skipped. My younger son took him so I got out of one of my daily chores.
Instead?
In the evening I just sat and watched the dog in the backyard.
Quiet, peaceful and no complaints.
And that was my day. Nothing special, just another day getting my steps and enjoying being retired.
