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 53 & 54 Quick Updates

Crazy days so just a quick update on the last two days.

Day 53 Wednesday included an early morning run at the Y on the Treadmill.  A lot of people get up really early to workout - was actually lucky to get a treadmill at 6 am.  People are also very set in their ways - had finished my run and there was 5 minutes left in the program that I was watching - so I was cleaning my treadmill in hopes to catch the final reveal of the kitchen makeover and this lady was standing behind me because she wanted my treadmill - at this point in time there were 4 others available - but she wanted mine! It was stressful - I felt like I deserved to see the end of the show since I had just completed an hour run but this lady obviously was getting impatient and really really wanted my treadmill.  I ended up succumbing to the pressure and quickly gave up the machine - now I will never know what the new kitchen looks like :(  Mental note to self keep running to the end of the show!!!

Today, Day 54, I had my early morning workout at Active Life Conditioning.  Today was a spin and TRX workout - good mix of cardio and strength.  Then this evening the family went for a walk around the neighbourhood.  Matthew has an app on his Ipod touch - Nike + gps - he set it up to make sure that we got our 30 minutes in and he was excited to track our kilometres.  Matthew also noted that he thought we should do "the family walk" more often!
