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 280 to 282 - A Weekend to be Thankful

Thanksgiving weekend and it is all coming together - Tom the turkey is in the fridge, everyone knows what they are bringing and are working hard to make it local food and Kade and I are feeling better!  There are lots of things to be thankful for too - an amazing husband and best friend, great kids, fun friends and wonderful families. Also our health and this beautiful place that we live in!
 
Saturday - Day 280 - started the weekend at Active Life with many of my friends for a "push your pace" workout.  The rest of the day consisted of hockey and then cleaning my house :-)  oh and helping Matthew make his pumpkin pies - from scratch - roasted local pumpkins and got some eggs from a friend around the corner - they tasted amazing!
 
Sunday - Day 281 - The Big Dinner!!!   well today is the day for the big thanksgiving dinner.  Lots of prep work and organizing.  Managed to sneak out for a 5 k run just before some of the guest arrived.  Dinner was great and there was lots of laughs. The 100 mile theme worked out great and the food tasted amazing - thanks everyone for participating in my vision!
 
Thanksgiving dinner at the Rennies - special guests Sue & Lauri from Australia
 
 
Monday - Day 282 - The turkey comma - well it was a slow start at our house this morning - probably a combination of the turkey and the wine!  But it turned out to be a beautiful day - a bonus considering they were calling for rain all weekend.  So we took my visiting family to the Blue Mountain Village for a little tour around and then when everyone was on their way home Matthew, Kade and I went for a hike at Blue Mountain -wow the fall colours were fantastic - a great way to wrap up the weekend (and work off some of the food that we consumed)
 
At the top of Blue Mountain -what a view

Heading down on the gondola - well earned!
