Today I was feeling really drained after spending hours on end staring at a screen, so before the sun went down, I made a point to get out and go for a walk! I ended up walking for 2 hours (oops) and went about 4 miles.
There were a few cool things about this walk:
- I was really close to home the whole time. Who knew that you could find areas that look like this photo to the left in the middle of Boston!
- I saw a deer! Maybe the urban animals are getting more comfortable coming out now that there aren't as many people around? Check her out below!
Has anyone else gone exploring in their own neighborhoods and discovered anything new?

This week's baking project was apple crisp! I know its not really the season for it, but that didn't seem to be an issue- it turned out great and was so simple to make! Here's how:
Ingredients:
- approx. 8 apples
- 2 tbs cinnamon
- 2 cups oatmeal
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 2/3 cups flour
Peel all apples and slice into thin slices, put in bowl and coat with cinnamon. In a seperate bowl, melt butter in microwave and mix together with oatmeal, brown sugar, and flour. Then grease a pan (I used a casserole dish basically) and pour apples into pan. Sprinkle all of topping evenly covering the top of the apples and bake at 350 for 40-45 mins!
Thats it! Honestly if I can successfully do it, any one of you should be able to! (Cooking is not my srongsuit....)

Home Workout Update:
This week I really challenged myself to use the workout equiptment I had at home to get in what turned out to be some great work outs. I've been avoiding any sort of high intensity and strength training at home thus far out of fear that they wouldn't be as effective as lifting heavy in the gym and let me tell you- I was wrong.
Pushing myself to adapt to this new norm of working out at home has also helped me come to a few realizations:
- I am so lucky to have lots of great workout equiptment at home! (As seen in the photo- dumbbells, bands, TRX, mats, chin up bar etc.)
- I am fortunate to be healthy enough to continue to find ways to move my body during these difficult times.
- Finding new ways to push and challenge myself outside of the workout style that I'm used to is actually fun!
I would love to hear about the challenging, new, and fun ways everyone else is getting moving!
**Or do you have a piece of workout equiptment sitting at home that you don't know what to do with? Let me know and I can write you a full work out!

Nothing too healthy aside from the fruit I put into some of these, but they definitely tasted good- I was able to enjoy them after a pretty solid strength/endurance workout (any 10 exercises, 30s on, 30 s off, 3x)3/21/2020

Above are some photos of my hike in Dover, MA at a spot called Pegan Hill (I Think). As you can see, it was muddier than I expected :/ but at least now I have another activity to add to the list- shoe cleaning! I also found a notebook in this little box in the tree which had some messages written in it, some as old as August, so that was sort of cool. I've really been pushing myself to get outside for at lest 20 mins every day! So far, so good! :)Hey Everyone!

This is my first update of many to keep you all in the loop of what I'm doing to stay active, healthy, and entertained at home! Although it's hard, I'm really trying to avoid sitting around eating all day and aimlessly scrolling social media for hours on end / binge watching Netflix (although I won't lie, I did watch the entire third season of On My Block this weekend).So that I wouldn't forget and to hold myself accountable, I made a list of activities that I plan to do over the next couple of weeks. Here are some of the things on my list!
- Go Hiking/For Walks
- Outdoor Workouts (& workouts at home)
- Spring Cleaning
- Cooking/Baking
- Visit Local Outdoor Locations (beaches, scenic lookouts, etc.) ((while staying 6ft. away from everyone else, of course))
- Get Better at Knitting (lol)
- Return To Old Art Practices- Drawing, Collage Making, etc.
Follow along to see my progress on checking activities off the list!
