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 78 - The Big Moving Day

Well I got up early today knowing that today was going to be a long and busy day.  My intention was to get my workout first thing but I got side tracked as soon as I hit the kitchen.  I thought to myself I will just make some muffins so that the kids and helpers have snacks for today - it did not quite work out to be just one batch of muffins I ended up making another batch and some sweet potato soup for a friend that is in TO with her husband that is in the hospital.  I needed to make this stuff today as another friend of mine was heading down there first thing Monday to help her out.  So by the time I finished all of that and the clean up it was really late in the morning - well late for me 9am - and the rest of the family was up and ready to go - so so much for the early morning workout. 

Then the preparation for the move began - we needed to return all of the furniture that was kindly lent to us (all of our furniture was at the old house - we had to keep it staged and then we rented it)  and you know when you move furniture there are dust bunnies so I had to clean in preparation for our furniture.  Oh and Matthew had a playoff game smack dab (i have never used that word before!) in the middle of the day - it was close one they lost by one - hard over March Break we were missing 5 of our players!

Then after the hockey game was the move of the furniture by the time all of that was done it was 10pm and I still had not gotten in my 30 minutes - so I stole - ok borrowed- Matthew's ipod and off I went for a 30 minute brisk walk.  I think today was the closest I have come to missing a workout but it all worked out in the end!
