The January Report

We did it!

Rabbit, rabbit, it’s February!

This was the biggest Gentle January yet—I loved seeing so many people apply this framework to the first month of the year and I hope it helped you in some way. I did some reflecting on less Gentle Januarys in years past, I cooked a lot (this cookbook has been full of hits), I’m on season five of Grey’s Anatomy. I have been drinking more water thanks to a water bottle I got to keep at the office. Being sick for the first third of the month adjusted my expectations for things and led to some interesting developments. I didn’t hit any fitness PRs or walk very much but I did wind up doing Dry January for because I did a third of it without trying and decided to finish out the month. I can write more about that if people are interested. I tried to be flexible with how the month turned out, to not force plans and to embrace nights in. I bought some good groceries, managed to not bite my nails, and drank lots of seltzer.

The new Crate & Barrel in Union Square is great for a wander (and to warm up)

Winter isn’t over but January is.
