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.

Days 177 to 181 - Post Bike Race Week

Well this week was a hard one - really tired after the bike race last weekend and really busy trying to get everything done before going on holidays next week.

Monday - Day 177 - slept in as I was trying to make up for lack of sleep over the weekend.  First weekend sleeping in the VW and I need to get use to it again - it's not as comfortable as my king sized bed at home.  I also had to share with Matthew - he is only 11 but it is like sleeping with another adult and he talks in his sleep :) Today I took it easy - my  knees were a little sore from biking all weekend so I just fit in a good 40 minute brisk walk

Tuesday - Day 178 - this is break week at Active Life but I jumped into one of the drop in classes - a great workout lots of legs and cardio.

Wednesday - Day 179 - taxes, taxes, taxes is all I have to say!!! Working hard to get them done and was in the mode until I looked up and it was 11 pm - that is right 11pm and I had not gotten in my physical activity for the day - all I wanted to do was go to bed but that would not be right - I am almost half way there!!!!  So I grabbed my iphone and off I went for a 40 minute brisk walk - interestingly enough the minute I started the walk I felt great!!!

Thursday - Day 180 - another day of work, taxes and kids activities.  Wanted to get up early to work out but ended up staying up late after my walk last night to get more work done!!  So at 9, once the kids were settled I convinced Sean to tour the town with me - we also needed to talk about our holidays without little listening ears around every corner!

Friday - Day 181 - again another busy day but I managed to get out for a 5 k run - felt really good even though it was so hot out.
