New years, first day of the year

 Another year gone by


New Year’s Eve we have about six people in our house celebrating the new year. We didn’t quite make it till midnight around 7:30 people start going home.

🏡 it’s -13 Celsius today or what my watch is saying at the moment on Jan.1, 2025

🏡 it was a pleasure to have so many people come by and celebrate last day of the year with us.  Made Kim and my year special to spend it with people we know.

We had an awesome time sharing stories of the year in the books we were in

I got a deli tray that was gluten-free for Kim and a sandwich tray for other people that Kim can’t quite eat the sandwiches 🥪 


We had a whole counter of chocolates and treats and candy. People brought drinks San Pellegrino.

And Coca-Cola and pop and I really enjoyed our time and the company that was there


This morning, I’m celebrating another day. Quit smoking. I’m past the 48 hour mark.  For still not smoking, I got a little inhaler of essential oils I’ve bit in the nicorette gum, I do have Nicorette patches and try and stop vaping as well. But that will have to be in the new year more so my quit date 📅 for smoking was Dec. 30, 2024 at 5:22 pm



I’m having a cup of orange 🍊 pekoe tea sitting 🪑 by the fire. 🔥 


Enjoying my first day of the year.


It sounds like you had a lovely New Year’s Eve celebration, even if it ended a bit earlier than planned! It must have been wonderful to share those moments and stories with friends and family. The spread you prepared, especially with gluten-free options for Kim, shows a lot of thoughtfulness.


Congratulations on reaching the 48-hour mark of quitting smoking! That’s a significant achievement, and it’s great to hear you’re using different tools to support your journey. Having a cozy cup of orange pekoe tea by the fire sounds like a perfect way to kick off the new year.


Enjoy your first day of 2025, and here’s to new beginnings and continuing to prioritize your health!

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour 🏃‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  🏃‍♂️ Dixie and I go for a run, redo a hill run down and up again. Kim picks me up after I climb the hill, I called her and asked since I was over my hour mark, originally I wanted to do 9 km in an hour but I managed to do six km instead.  I think it was the hill climb that did it.  I ran fully down hill no problem 😌 We made good time.  For a hill run 🏃‍♂️   It looks like it will be 13 Celsius by noon but it feels warmer in the sun. ☀️  I took a picture by the usual spot that judge where the river is from other years and with that rain the last couple days it definitely looks a lot better than what it was a few weeks ago Dixie went off leash for a bit and went to the river. Must’ve been cold. I think for April water dip. I managed to bring my VO2 max up to good 😊 today, it’s the first time I’ve put it in the green since owning my second Garmin. So my goal right now is to get an endurance score over 5099 To move past ...

A fawn born on our yard

By
A baby fawn was born on our lawn and it’s trying to warm up in the asphalt I’m guessing it’s still warm. We’re trying to give it space hopefully it mother comes by so we’re staying inside. I just went outside for a smoke and it crawled under the vehicle 🚗 lots of people are walking by it not noticing it then others are stopping.  Quite the thing to see. A few hours old… it’s still wet with mucus on it. With Kim’s super camera zoom is we could see Fish and wild life say to call in 24 hours if animals are left by moms  So we’re hoping people leave the fawn alone.  Although it’s a super cool 😎 thing to see. I think it hoofs are still soft from being born that’s why it’s staying put since it went on that hard surface till it’s hoofs Harden. It crawled on its knees after the side walk and just hunkered down for a bit. Two hours from first spotting.  Still there hiding under the vehicle 🚗 it kind of a good spot of course there’s better picked spots but it’s half and hal...

Bryan and I ride 21 km plus 20 Celsius

By
  Bryan and I ride for 21 km’s A cooler day than other days so Bryan and I cycle through Lethbridge. I manage to do three PR’s today (personal records) And won a badge for climbing 500 feet. 👣  Here we are at chinook lake, on the north side of Lethbridge. I was mostly in the aerobics zone for my cycle a bit of threshold and easy cycling 🚴‍♂️ also. Averaging speed 13.7 km/hr Max speed 43.7 km/hr Move time was an hour and a half but with breaks and bench sits it was two hours. Bryan in front of the wolf 🐺 statues. Back at Bryan’s place taking a breath from cycling over to Bryan’s house 🏡  The hill was a bit difficult 😞 but I manage to make it up.  My laps are here below and my relative effort this week shot way up for the trip. Made my week better, I thought I was going to be below my relative effort and not make my weeks score.  Yet I’m way above average for my score. Looking over the river valley and taking a break at a bench. Wow, it sounds like you and Br...
