New Blog and New Adventures

For those of you who follow my other blogs SiscoVanilla Serves and Drinks, BaseballSisco and Observations and Rants of a Native New Yorker....WELCOME!!!!

For those of you who are new here either on purpose or at random, WELCOME as well!!!! Here is some info on where I am and where I am going with this blogpage.

So who am I?

Well, simply put, I'm just a regular dude who in February 2017 got tired of feeling like shit and decided to do something about it.

What did I do?

I bought a Fitbit Blaze and just started walking.

How did that work out?

In the year and four months since using the FitBit Blaze, I've lost a maximum of 30 lbs. Now here lies the problem.

What problem is that?

While I've made tremendous strides from my initial weight of 276 lbs, I've gotten stuck at around the 255-260 lb mark. I need to pass this plateau that I seem to be mired on. The walking has gotten monotonous. I do it but there's no sense of adventure with my stepping.

So what is this blog for?

This blog is going to be used to reintroduce that missing adventure from my step journey. I will try to regularly post place I go along with my progress, food adventures, readings with a sprinkling of my other escapades in the world of frugal living and the bar business.

So thank you in advance for joining me here on these adventures. Feel free to check out my Instagram: SiscoVanilla and my Tumblr: SiscoVanilla is Stepping.

I look forward to interacting with you all soon enough.

Until Then, Keep Stepping

Steps for Week of June 22 - June 28, 2020

Hey peeps what's up. Just wanted to post my steps for the week of June 22-June 28 as tracked by my trusty Fitbit Blaze. Take a look: As I highlighted in my post  Steps for Week of June 15 - June 21, 2020  I had a total of 61,827 steps. So I went down somewhat. To be honest, it was super hot out there last week and lacked the motivation to push through the heat. We'll see what adventures in stepping this current week brings.  I hope everyone is safe and healthy out there these days. I hope you are all taking care of yourselves. Following all the safety protocols that you can not only for yourselves but more importantly for those around you. COVID-19 is the real deal. It isn't fake. It isn't a hoax. Please be careful. Ok. enough of the soapbox. Talk to you all real soon. Until Then Keep Stepping, #SiscoVanilla #SiscoVanillaIsStepping #SiscoVanillaHitsTheBricks

My Abstinence Progress June 30, 2020

Hey peeps what's up!!! It's been a while since I have posted any of my progress concerning the absitinence of meat and hard alcohol. Here are the up to date figures on that as of today's date June 30th.  It's crazy to think that the one month that I was going to cut meat out of my diet has become an over two-year adventure. I originally stated at the end of May of 2018 that I would go meatless for the month of June. Fast forward two years and here I am at basically July 2020 without having had any meat. I do eat fish and have dairy. Do I miss eating meat? Certain things are a trigger. Specifically bacon. And I haven't tortured myself by having the fake bacon. Have any of you? Whatcha think of it. Let me know.  In terms of booze, I celebrated my year anniversary of abstaining while staying in place. This one is hard since I work with booze. But you just have to remain strong in the conviction that not drinking hard liquor is best. I just can't deal with the hango

"Push" Walk July 3, 2020

Image
Hey peeps. What's up!!! Yesterday I decided to get myself ready for a "Push" day. What's a "push" day? Very simply, a "push" day is a walking day that I use to push myself to get a long walk in. I've been meaning to take a walk around Randall's Island, so yesterday was a good day as any. How do I get to Randall's Island from the Bronx? There are a couple of ways that I could get there. Here was my itinerary: - walk to the Soundview Ferry - take the ferry to East 90th Street - walk from the East 90th Street along the East River Walkway - take the footbridge over to Randall's Island And off I went. Here are the breakdowns for the walk.  Now I apologize for the three images. My GPS went a little wonky and had me walking on water to and from Astoria. I'm not that skilled 🤣🤣🤣. Luckily I was able to edit the walk through Strava but it left me with three different walks. As you can see I started at the East 90th Ferry, over the foot
