Saturday Post #2 - Day 11 of 2025

 Well this last week was a bit of a mixed result in terms of goals. I was doing quite well with my step goal until my son got norovirus and the snow descended on the city. Given that I suspect both Ryan and I were struggling with the bug ourselves, I guess I can cut myself a little slack on that one. Maybe I can make it up over time. 

My reading looks bad; I only finished a single book over the course of the week. However that one book was a 550 page doorstop of a book, so it's a little misleading. However, that impacted my writing. If you count this post - which is debatable - I only managed 2 posts. I need to get into a better rhythm. I did better than I feared with my journal. I only missed one day - the day I felt the sickest. I'll take it as an over all win.

It was a good week taken in all. There were some challenges, of course, but we always knew there would be. I'm ready to get back on track.

Board Games - (on track)

3. Wingspan (1/4/2025)
4. Mahjong (1/11/2025)

Thomas and Ryan played a game of chess 1/5 which counts for the household even if I wasn't involved. I was busy cooking at the time.

Steps (falling behind)

Made my 8,000 step goal 2 out of the 7 days. 39,077 total steps for the week which averages to 5,582 steps per day. It is important to keep in mind that I was sick one of those days and concerned with taking care of Thomas while he was sick. I could have done better, but this is a process.
