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 261 to 265 - Only One Hundred To Go!

Another week and more routine!  Which I like. Lots going on this week and some fall weather ahead so more painting.  Oh I reached a milestone day this week - Day 265 - which means only 100 days to go, 100 days to the end of the year and yes even less days until Christmas! (sorry I had to mention it)
 
Monday - Day 261 - oh the 6:15am workout - I love it when it is done but I do not love getting out of bed that early!  Another great workout lead by Steph at Active Life.  I also got in a little more painting after getting some work done - sure felt the leg workout while climbing that ladder!
 
Tuesday - Day 262 - Another busy day - I took most of the day off work to paint my house - got lots done and I love the colour - not sure on the shutter colour though - if you are in the neighbourhood stop by and let me know which colour you like - yes I have different coloured shutters right now - I could not decide on the colour!  The rain came later in the day so after hockey and all the homework was done Matthew and I went for a walk in the rain - the pouring rain (of course the pouring started after we were far from home!)  It was good to just have Matthew with me - got all caught up on his life and got a great hour workout in too!
 
Wedneday - Day 263 - today I was at York University to present information about OPPI (Ontario Professional Planners Institute) of which I am a member, about the benefits of our professional organization and of being a registered professional planner.  It was a great turn out and I had a lot of fun!  I also had to park a couple of miles away from the presentation location- so I got a good 30 minute walk in my heels on campus!  I also had a great walk with my mom after I got home - great to catch up with her too!
 
Thurday - Day 264 - bright and early with Active Life and then a walk to the Huron House in the evening to celebrate Lorrianne's birthday.
 
Friday - Day 265 - well I only have 100 days to go to reach my goal! I did not realize this was a milestone day or else I would have done something really exciting - like run for 265 minutes or 265 kilometres  -who am I kidding I would not have done anything that crazy.  Unfortunately I was not feeling that great - headache- and had tons to do - so I just walked to my lunch hour hair appointment it was a good 35 minute walk and what a day - it said it was going to rain all day and it did not - great for Kade's class as they are at the fair today but I could have been painting!
