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 59 to 61 - Two Months Down

Sorry for being so tarty in my posting.  It has been a crazy week, lots of work, sick kids and everything with Angela has thrown me off.  But I have managed to fit in my minimum 30 minutes of exercise for the last 3 days.  Here is a quick run through.

Day 59 - Tuesday February 28th - a great workout at Active Life Conditioning - lots of new stuff and my legs still feel it today.

Day 60 - Wednesday February 29th - this is the day that was the surprise day -that extra day in February for leap year -  so really my new years resolution is now 366 days of physical activity.  Today was an early morning run with Sarah - a fast 6 km - a great push for me to pick up my pace.

Day 61 - Thursday March 1st - two months down and I feel great - have managed to get in my exercise everyday and have even been trying to make it 60 minutes.  I am feeling great and have managed to lose my pre-Christmas and Christmas weight gain and am down a few pound from that too - 14 pounds so far - which is also helping to motivate me to keep going.  Today was the day that I got the call from the school to say that I needed to pick up Kade from school because he was sick - of course this was just as I was heading out the door to go to the YMCA.  Thankfully there was a drop in class at Active Life in the evening that I was able to get to - lots of fun too - PUSH YOUR PACE was the class - it was co-ed and it was a great cardio strength workout - just what I needed to end the day!!!!!

Tomorrow is Ladies Ski Day at the Collingwood Ski Club - I hope to get a little skiing and snow shoeing in - will fill you in on all the details - well maybe not ALL the details.
