Spring: Time to recommit healthy habits

/ Rupali / 28 Comments

After a week or more of cold, gray, windy and wet days, we were surprised by a cold yet sunny weekend. Even our weather forecast department couldn’t not have clear words. Who could blame them when weather decides to play a prank on all of us.

Once the weekend chores were over I decided to pack a simple lunch and leave for a nice hike. And yes I changes my earlier plan. In this part of the world nature direct our plans, we obey 😊.

Everything was perfect until this point as I realized I was wearing regular Ecco gore-tex shoes and didn’t have spikes with me. I got little panic but decided to proceed with a thought to return back, just in case.

The trails on the south-west side of the mountains were mostly clear but not this way. I had to be cautious as I go upward for who knows what was waiting ahead.

I rested near this spot and ate my peanut butter sandwich. Also called my husband to show him what he missed. He was in his office. There were lot of people relaxing and having fun on the top of the mountain. The weather was ultimate.

Fortunately I managed the slippery sections on both the sides. Something I learned about myself, I can walk/slide on ice 😊. Point noted for future. In all I covered 13.5 km distance with 568 m elevation and used 970 calories.

I wanted to talk about the books I am reading but it’s already a long post. Rest in next.

A coincidence that my choice for weekend post matches the theme for lens artists photo challenge. Though I was not inside the whole time in January, I didn’t get good opportunities to share my walks. On last Thursday and Friday I was able to take walks in nature where no human created sound was heard, the only exception was the sound of footsteps on snow. Friday forecast was more promising than Thursday.

As I can’t include a video in WP post, I am giving link to my instagram account.
