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 283 to 286 - Waking up from Turkey Coma

So here we are the week after Thanksgiving weekend with full bellies and our fridges full of leftovers.  I LOVE turkey but really I can only eat it for so long for lunch and dinner everyday!! I wish I had more leftover pumpkin pie though!

Tuesday - Day 283 - well with the leftover turkey dinner cleaned up I headed out for a great 45 minutes walk through town.  I was suppose to hit Active Life in the early morning but ended up sleeping through my alarm - that turkey coma?
 
Wednesday - Day 284- feeling a little more brisk today got in a good 5km run - felt good.
 
Thursday - Day 285 - back to my routine - Active Life early morning routine - what a great workout with a great group of girls.

The boys on their way to the top
Friday - Day 286 - a beautiful day today - a crisp sunny fall day.  Matthew had a basketball game after school so after that I convinced the family to go for hike up Blue Mountain - the fall colours still looked amazing and it was suppose to rain all weekend.  The Ready boys decided to join us.  So up Cascades Trail at the south end of Blue Mountain - me and 7 boys (5 kids and well Sean & Mike).  Of course like everything in a boys life it was a competition - which worked out great for me because the pace was fast up the hill - got a good cardio workout.  The downhill well that was a little muddy -which of course was very exciting to the boys - the muddier they got the more they liked it.  We ended the hike at the Village and wondered into Rusty's for some fun food and some fun drinks. What a great way to spend a Friday night. (I hope to get in a few more of these nights before the snow flies)
the reward for the hike - the view!
