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.

May 24 Weekend

Well we made it!  The long weekend arrived and boy the weather was amazing.  What a great weekend filled with lots of fun activities.

Saturday Day 140 - ok today was a little crazy - trying to do all the chores around the house so we could play.  Also looking after my niece and her dog this weekend and Deffer decided to escape his house so when we went to get him he was nowhere to be found - so my planned mountain bike ride was delayed while we searched for Deffer - we did find him and by then it was late in the day and we had to prepare for the evening festivities.  Well didn't Deffer escape again from our house this time so once the party cleared out Sean and I went for a 40 minute walk for one more try to find the little guy!

Sunday Day 141 - the family started the day with an hour bike around town to try to find Deffer.  No luck but he was eventually found later in the day in Nottawa the next town over - he was definitely on the prowl last night!!!!  The day was so hot that we headed to the shale beach for the late afternoon and evening.  I got in a paddle in the kayak and the kids and Sean were on the water playing in the kayak and the paddle board - it was such a great time!  Oh I also worked really hard creating a garden in my back yard for about 4 hours - our back yard is like concrete - so it was a great workout and so was shovelling and moving the yard of triple mix!

Monday Day 142 - last day of the long weekend.  Started out with a mountain bike ride with the ladies.  So nice and dry on the trails - almost too dry!  Third ride out and I have not ridden the same route twice yet - you might think why care - well last year Sarah and I rode pretty much the same route each time we went mountain biking because we usually had time constraints and were too afraid to try something new in case we got lost!  So I am proud of us so far this season!!  We are learning lots of new routes!  So after our bike ride the dad's dropped off this kids and went for their bike rides and we took the kids hiking along the Bruce trail.  Again we live in a great place full of lots of great adventures!
