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.

Monday thru Thursday Days 128 to 131

Wow this week has flown by.  But not to worry I have still managed to fit in my workouts this week.

Monday -  Day 128 started with the newest session of the Active Life Condition classes.  This morning included our testing - the testing that we will do again at the end of the session to see how we have improved.  I was mentally prepared for this today so it went well and I was glad to put it behind me and focus on the workout.  Great workout Laura thanks! 

The kids then started their session at Active Life after school - the Youth Athletic Conditioning Program - the program is Inspired and aligned with Canada's Sport 4 life model with Long Term Athlete Development in mind, youth are taught proper movement patterns and challenged with coordination, movement, strength and cardiovascular tasks through games and fun exercises during each session.  It is held at Harbourview park and the kids love it - so I took the opportunity to go for a  30 minute run while they were in the program.

Tuesday - Day 129 - probably my busiest day yet this year - work, life, kids etc - so by 9ish at night my eyes were bulging out of my head from staring at the computer screen and my head was pounding from stressing about how I was going to get everything done on time for work that  I decided I should get my exercise in before it got too late!  I headed out for a brisk walk around the neighbourhood.  It was such a nice night that I immediately started feeling better and ended up fitting in 45 minutes!

Wednesday - Day 130 - managed to get a 45 minute spin class in and a 30 minute run - felt good today!  Kids had their Active Life program again tonight - they had so much fun! 

Thursday - Day 131 - well today is again a busy day with the entire family all over the map this evening.  So I had to get up extra early today to be back home from working out by 6:45am so Sean could leave to go on a field trip with his class.  So to make it easy I headed to the Y to run on the treadmill - did get a 50 minute interval run in.
