Tuesday things

I've got a full day ahead, but the good news is that the London jet lag means I'm up early in the mornings! Of course, I've been going to bed around 7 pm, so that's not sustainable either. ;-) I'm an early bird as is, but the jet lag makes it hard to stay awake until my normal 9 pm bed time.

I tried out a free Pilates class yesterday & really liked it, but the cost was absolutely eye watering. I'm going to see if I can find an alternative (the Y, maybe?) that provides most of the benefit at a much lower cost. I want to focus on adding in strength & core workouts (yoga, Pilates) in 2026 to help with some of my back & hip pain, so maybe the Y would be an option as the one near me has both. I need to call & see what they offer & their monthly cost.

M forgot to pick up the stuffed peppers from Costco, so I'm back to the drawing board for dinner tonight. I'm heading to a workout class this afternoon, so it will have to be something easy. I'm thinking meatballs. Sam & I will have them over pasta, but M will likely just have them on the side. 

Things I want to do today:

  • Continue working on tracking down the drop in our solar production
  • Call the Y for pricing & schedules
  • Get the library app hooked up to my kindle
  • Revise menu plan 
  • Workout class
  • Update my January workout numbers
  • Follow up on summer vacation plans
  • Go for a walk. My 12k step target is a ways off after my work trip, and I want to boost that back up
What about you? Hope everyone is staying warm! Nick reports that it's been very cold in Boulder!

  1. I cannot tell you how happy I am to be in my home after three days at the hospital! I am taking it easy today, like a true day off! I assessed what I have to eat and find I can skip the grocery store for another couple of days. Like you, I would like to find a low cost way to get some exercise in without breaking the bank. Might walk today after I bundle up well!
