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 303 to 307 - Another Challenge

Another week and now another challenge.  I have been doing great with my elimination of sugar in my diet - even with all of the Halloween candy in my house and my trips to Starbucks are still a green or mint tea - no sugar or milk. So some of my friends at the gym had started a 30 day nutrition program on the Monday of this week. Both girls have been very successful in all of their lifestyle efforts over the past few months (very motivating ladies!!!) I just sort of listened and then Halloween night (which I did break down and have chocolate - I made it to 7:30 pm but was given a peanut butter cup which broke me - then I had a few more - but none the next day even though my entire living room floor was covered in candy!!!) I decided to join them - why not when they were already doing it and it was instant support.  So November 1st was day 1 of the 30 day whole nutrition challenge - here are what I cannot eat, dairy, grains, sugar (even natural), preservatives, alcohol, legumes or white potatoes.  So here we go!  I am up for this challenge.
 
Monday - Day 303 - I am not sure I like Mondays - they always seem to be extremely busy and I really don't want to get out of bed in the morning.  So since the day flew by I had to fit my workout in while Matthew was at his workout session and Kade was on the ice.  Turned out to be great run though - 7km and a fast one!
 
Tuesday - Day 304 - This is break week at Active Life so I jumped into a class Tuesday at 6:15am wow it was a tough one.  I also got a run in in the evening - a stress reliever!  Almost another 7 km but I ran out of time has to get home to get kids to bed!
 
Wednesday - Day 305 - Halloween kids has lots of fun and LOTS of candy - I got my exercise in after all the ghosts and goblins were safely home.  It was amazing how quiet the night was.  Got a good 45 minute walk in even though my stomach hurt from the candy.
 
 "zombie" and "army guy"
 
 
Thursday - Day 306 - First day of the nutrition challenge.  Started it out at Active Life first thing in the morning and added a 5km run that night.  Ate well today!
 
Friday - Day 307- the end of the week and not an exciting evening planned just hanging out at home and getting some laundry done - so I snuck out for a walk just after dinner to clear my head!
