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 210 & 211 - Beach Here We Come!

Well we are finally here - Grand Bend for the week - the cottage we rent we have rented since I was a teenager - lots of fun and family time!

Saturday - Day 210 - if you have been following my blog you know that my husband Sean has been not as active as he would like due to a pinched nerve in his neck - well he is back and want to get in some great road rides while we are here in Grand Bend so we brought our road bikes.  So we went for a good ride today - I am not as hesitant now that I have learned some key elements from the Pedal Pushers clinic.  So off we went and we kept doing for 35 km.  If you know Sean you know he has really strong legs - so this was a big workout for me to keep in his draft so I could actually ride with him.  It is great riding with him!

Sunday - Day 211 - 8 years ago today I gave birth to my youngest son Kade - he is an amazing kid - so today was all about him.  He decided he wanted a beach party for his birthday theme.  So we headed to the beach for the day and ended it with friends and family at the cottage for our beach themed party.  My workout day was lots of running in the water playing kids against the parents keep away and then ended it with a 30 minute walk after the party was all cleaned up!

Looking forward to a week filled with beach time and lots of fun activities!
