Sometimes, I take the little things for granted, but not on Tuesday. We are in the time of year when my morning walk to school lines up closely with the morning sunrise. So, I decided to pop out into traffic

Monday, December 18, was a very busy day for me, but alas, I left my fitbit at home charging and missed out on recording about 8K steps based on estimates from other teachers. Why so busy? Because it was

Another big Friday with 12K steps courtesy of another trip to Manhattan for my school's holiday party and a quick stop at New York City's premier holiday landmark. Although we had an early school dismissal

Wednesday, December 13, turned out to be an abnormal day at school. It started normally, with my short walk from two blocks away and my ascent up three flights of stairs. Class started well, and the guest

Tuesday, December 12, was another fun day at school and the last day of the year for my other co-teacher for homeroom. She is going on a winter holiday to Malaysia, so I'll be on my own for the last week

Good Day, actifit followers! Monday was a bit of a slow day, as I got back to the grind at school while still woefully behind on sleep from a weekend filled with bass, beats, and buddies. I've attached

Friday was another action-packed day to night, with a half day of school, an early dinner, and a double header of deep bass shows starting in Brooklyn at Elsewhere and finishing after midnight in Manhattan

The highlight of another "regular" activity day for me was the reveal of the 2023-2024 New York Blues holiday scarf for our Chelsea supporter club. It is the 25th anniversary of the New York

Another simple activity day of walking to work and up those three flights of stairs to class. I was greeted this morning by an abandoned mattress by the sidewalk of our apartment building. Amazingly, someone

Even my "slow days" are earning more steps since I started using a fitbit to track my activity. I'm still not in the rhythm of regular workouts, but my step total has gone up and it even tracks

Finally, my Fitbit arrived! Like clockwork, my steps were more accurately counted, and I broke the 10K threshold for the 2nd day in a row. Monday started with another typical day at school: two blocks

Another quiet week for activity. So much so, that I didn't have much to post about during the week and got out of my rhythm of posting every morning. I didn't have much luck crossing the 5K threshold for

Just another "lazy" Monday at my teaching job. Not much to report about my activity. My usual walk to and from work. Now that I am taking my homeroom down to recess, it does mean that I get an

Oh boy, these next few Actifit reports are going to be jam-packed with pics from very uniquely New York City events, including the New York Botanical Gardens Train Show, Eric Prydz's HOLO concert, and

Another slow Tuesday as I get ready for the Thanksgiving break here in the USA. Not much activity to report outside of my walk to and from school, and the three flights of stairs to get up to the fourth

Another slow day for me this past Monday as I got back into the flow at school. I'm very thankful I get to walk to school two blocks back and forth every day. Another thing I notice is the walk up three

I had been in such a good habit posting my daily reports, but then I completely forgot to do it Friday morning. So today will be a double report of sorts. The graphic at the bottom of the page only shows

Finally, I'm back in the bonus with nearly 8000 steps walked yesterday. I started with my two-block commute to and from school, which I've talked about in previous posts. Something I've been looking forward

Another slow day for me in terms of staying active. Just the couple blocks walk to and from school. Thank goodness I work up on the 4th floor so I can get a few extra steps in, along with a little more

Monday, November 13, was another slow day for me in terms of my step count and overall activity. I have a short walk to work, only two New York City blocks that takes me about 3 minutes to get to school.
