Witty Rewind: February 2019

I thought it’d be fun to capture each month’s activities and milestones in a series called Witty Rewind. It may not be for posterity’s sake, but I hope you’ll enjoy looking back at the previous month with me.

After my Whole30 high, I sadly slipped back into some old habits. It’s to be expected given my “all or nothing” attitude, but I also tried not to beat myself up too much for it. I saw some weight gain after reintroducing bread and cheese, and I scaled back on formal workouts to focus more on a StepBet at work. I feel OK, but I’ll be experimenting with a “clean eating on weekdays” approach for March. [Miles walked: 88.29]

I slowed down on reading considerably, as I’ve had to use my morning commute more for actual work time. That said, I’ve still enjoyed devouring a mix of fiction and nonfiction, from beach reads to heavier topics. Find me on Goodreads to see the latest! [Books read: 5.5]

Some highlights from the shortest (but most social) month:

• Line dancing at The Saddle Rack for a dear friend’s birthday
• Waking up the next morning to continental breakfast and a PANCAKE MACHINE
• Hosting a Super Bowl party for that snoozefest of a game
• Volunteering with the Junior League of SF and AOII alumnae group
• Lunching with former colleagues on the rainiest day possible
• (Not a highlight) Being knocked out with exhaustion and missing two events
• Attending a JLSF yoga class for Galentine’s Day
• Finding a new dentist who didn’t lecture or belittle me
• Brunching with friends… and getting a peep show from an exhibitionist neighbor
• MONSTER JAMMING for the fourth consecutive year
• Starting the apartment hunt with one of my current roommates
• Hosting Book Club as we discussed “The Last Mrs. Parrish”
• Seeing “FRIENDS LIVE!,” a drag parody of the iconic sitcom
• Celebrating the Lunar New Year parade from our annual Irish pub spot
• Toasting to many birthdays, engagements, babies, and work accolades

That about does it for me. Can you believe it’s already March?! Madness, I say 😉🏀
