So as we all head into the new year we are all faced with the concept of New Years resolutions. Oh I have made
them before only to fall short of my goal as life (family and work) take over my good intentions. So this year I decided to get my friend Angela involved in my New Year resolution so that I have to be accountable to someone other than myself. Oh, I guess this would be a good place to tell you what my New Years Resolutionis.........well the plan is to be physically active for a minimum of 30 minutes for all 365 days of the year. That is right every single day of 2012. So now you might be asking why are you blogging about it? Well Angela and I were trying to figure out how to keep each other on track, she lives in London and I live in Collingwood. We tried google calendar but that was really frustrating and then Angela sent me an excel sheet that had dates on it and that is not that much fun. So when I was snowshoeing the other day I thought to myself maybe I should blog about our efforts - make us accountable not only to each other but anyone else who might be interested in what we are up to. So that is the beginning of this blog I hope you enjoy and I look forward to your comments.

Day 14 - Still Really Cold

Well  I survived the blistering cold outdoor hockey Friday night - lots of fun and lots of snow on the ice.  Today was Saturday so family time.  It started out with lots of kid hockey - both kids had games today and both kids were MVP's of their games - so proud.  We spent the whole day together and went skiing in the evening - my first time out this season - yes I picked the coldest day/night this year to go out and to top it all off they were making snow on every single run which does not make for fun skiing.  We skied for about and hour and half and then when none of us could feel our toes we headed home for hot chocolate.  I am now officially the worst skier in my family - I have been surpassed by the kids and there is no hope in hell that I will be able to catch up!!!!  They have no fear - which is cool and scary for me.  Sean loves it because he can take them on jumps and ski the trees (not for me).  So I got lots of fresh air and my physical activity was with the family enjoying a night of skiing.

    That's awesome...I wish we had more outdoor stuff to do around here with the family in the winter. We're finding it challenging this time of year to find active things we can do together as a family.
