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.

Matthew - Day 10 - January 10th, 2012

Well here I am again -with my second post - Day 10 - January 10th, 2012!  So today my physical activity was not that exciting - in fact it was an end of the day walk.  But this walk was with a bonus - my 10 year old son Matthew joined me.  So I may not have gotten the best workout so far this year but I did get some quality time with my son.  It is amazing how much you learn about your kids day when you are all ears for 30 minutes.  So nice compared to the typical conversations of - is your homework done? did you put your dishes in the dishwasher? stop fighting with your brother!  Best part -  just before he went to bed he asked if we could walk every night!

I forgot to mention in my post yesterday that Matthew has decided to join Angela and I in our new year resolution.  He wants to pay more attention to what physical activity he is doing everyday - training to get ready for rugby session and oh and he wants a six pack (me too!)

For those that wonder where I got this idea - it did not just come to me.  I remembered that someone  I knew did this a few years back (2010)- well she saw my post yesterday and she was excited and said that it was a great experience - Thanks Tara Gignac- she is a local naturopath - has helped me out tremedously with Kade's skin and learning difficulties - check out her website  http://stonetreeclinic.com/

That is all for today
