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.

Storm Rolls In....Krystin goes for a walk???

Well today is day 17, busy day - 7pm rolls around and I have not gotten in my physical activity.  What to do? Go for a good walk around the neighbourhood. I can usually talk Matthew into joining me but he is not feeling great. So I open the door and the weather has drastically changed? - the rain is no longer - which is good but it has been replaced with blistering winds that includes snow and the temperature has dramatically dropped too.  Music playing, bundled up out I go - best thing about walking -  lots of time to think and no dishes!!  40 minutes later I am home and have gotten in my activity.

My friend Lesley sent me this link - check it out - reinforces the 30 minute minimum commitment and outlines the Return on Investment.
