My Journey With Health And Fitness – Time To Be Positive

I opted to cancel my class this morning simply because I was so strapped for time. Instead I got up and went for a 10k walk at an obscenely early time. As usual because it was very dark out I had on a reflective jacket and toque to ensure I could be seen. However, about 1/2 way through the walk I came a cross a couple of guys out for a run. Both of these gentleman were fully dressed in black without a single piece of reflective clothing (not even on their runners). Now I get they were running on the sidewalk but still, there were streets to be crossed. Come on people, be smart and be safe.

This time of year I normally post about all the positives that have happened during the year on my FB page. I decided this year to do something different and include it in my blog so here goes.

1. There has only been one major health issues with my siblings and even that got resolved really quickly (my brother had a blood clot in his arm detected on Thursday and by yesterday he had been fully treated and the clot dissolved).
2. While we lost one of our beloved cats, a new cat joined are home and has been an amazing addition.
3. Our dear friends were in an horrific motorcycle accident and both are now recovering. Moreover, it has meant we have put in a much more concerted effort to spend time together which has been such a great outcome.
4. We have developed an amazing network of friends in Playa del Carmen the downside of which would be we miss them when we are not there.
5. Our group of friends here at home has expanded into an awesome coffee group that we look forward to meeting with every week.
6. We now spend at least 6 weeks at a time when we travel to our condo. Pretty sure that will continue to grow.
7. After a little over a year of letting things slide I found my way back to a healthy weight. The bonus is that I am more fit than I have ever in my life been.

That’s a pretty amazing list of positive things we have experienced this year. 

And now, I am taking 2 days off from my fitness plan. Again, I know that 2 days is not going to take me off this wonderful path I have been on but I do feel a bit guilty. Having said that, if I have a bit of down time in the next couple days I am pretty sure I will sneak out for a quick walk.

Merry Christmas everyone!
