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 259 & 260 - Painting the World (My World)

So the weekend is here and I have decided to paint the exterior of our house, not a small job and one that depends on the weather.  One great thing about it is that it is a great workout - all that climbing up and moving of ladders.
 
Saturday - Day 259 - Let the painting begin!  Well after hockey that is - I am now officially a hockey mom! Both boys are playing hockey and Kade made the Collingwood Blackhawke Novice AE team (the second rep team) - so that is going to be even more hockey!  Once that was completed it was time to start prepping the house for painting - prepping is the key to painting and takes a long time without any instant gratification!  I spent the day climbing up and down the ladder putting TSP on the siding and cleaning it in anticipating of the first brush of colour :)  We then went out for dinner to celebrate Luke's birthday.  Once we got home I did not feel like I had fulfilled my 30 minutes of exercise so I walked around the block 3 times -very quickly - at close to midnight and got it in!
 
Sunday - Day 260 - the sun is shinning!  That means I can start painting and that is what I did - for hours - until it was dark and then I went for 5 km run just to flush the legs!
