Progress: #10. Do something active for 3 months straight

 Sunday, I did some light housework in the morning and some yoga stretches before bed.

Monday, I played outside in the backyard in the morning with my daughter. It was her first time out in the snow. I tried to roll a snowball to make a snowman but I was really bad at it. In the afternoon, I did some more light housework.


Today, my mom watched my daughter, so I went ice skating this morning at Mel Lastman Square. I had the whole rink to myself. It was nice. Afterwards, I walked to a local pharmacy to get my COVID booster (shot #3!). 10681 steps today (which feels like a LOT less work when I'm not pushing a giant stroller).





Then I made some cocoa with vegan marshmallows :)

Progress: #10. Do something active for 3 months straight

 The Toronto MAP passes are available at participating libraries every Saturday, at open. Our closest participating library opened at 9am and I made it there on foot by 11. I was hoping again for Toronto Railway Museum passes, as my daughter loves each and every form of transportation. They were all gone, however. Apparently people were already lining up at 8am (and each museum has only 3 passes available, per week). I snagged the last pass to the Museum of Contemporary Art, though. We'll try again, earlier, next week.

13368 steps today.

Progress: #10. Do something active for 3 months straight

 An "ordeal" does not even begin to describe today. It was a DAY. In good news, I managed to get a flu shot while traipsing around the neighbourhood.

7791 steps so far today.

Progress: #10. Do something active for 3 months straight

 Tuesday, I did a short yoga video for lower back pain -- which I find a slight issue the more my toddler grows and still isn't completely mobile.

Yesterday, we took a short (5000 step-ish) walk around the neighbourhood. I enjoyed finding these two awesomely contrasted house decorations:



Today, we went to the Museum of Illusions (which my daughter loved, despite a couple rough days and a rough night). Then we walked to St. Lawrence Market to have some lunch, as I realized it was not too far away.

Completed #16. Metal stamp jewellery

 I stamped a whole lot of jewelry blanks, several different times, with several different materials - after reading a whole book about it - in an attempt to make a gift for a friend. They all turned out really ugly -- too ugly to even show pictures of the attempts. I also find this hobby really loud and my hands are too weak to stamp anything but pewter well. I just don't enjoy it. It isn't my thing. I tried, though! It is done.

Progress: #10. Do something active for 3 months straight

 Yesterday, I went with my mom and my daughter to visit my sister in Welland. I did some yoga stretches before bed.


Today, I walked to the nearest participating location of the above, to try and secure tickets to the Toronto Railway Museum, but all tickets had already been claimed.

10249 steps today.

Progress: #10. Do something active for 3 months straight

 At her request (pointing at my yoga mat and repeatedly throwing both arms up), I did a bit of a Cosmic Yoga Kids video with my daughter. She wasn't into it for very long. I didn't bother to do anything else because it wasn't a good day, so I didn't feel up to it.
