My Journey With Health And Fitness – Having Some Fun

Ok, I still seem to have the plague. Tomorrow marks 2 weeks since this whole thing started and I am getting quite tired of it. I admit I am getting a bit better. For example, this morning I didn’t have to pry apart my eyelids when I woke up. But, I am still not going to the gym and likely won’t before next Monday. However, I got a bit of a walk in yesterday and intend to do so again today.

I’ve mentioned before that my family recognizes that this season is going to be a bit difficult for us as it is the first Christmas without my brother. We made a conscious decision that we would plan a bunch of fun things to do together throughout December and last night started it off, we took a ride on a local Christmas train. By train I mean a small open air train. It was hokey but a lot of fun. They had the park decorated with lights, the inside of the train station was made up as a gingerbread house and we were photo bombed by Mr. Grinch. It was not expensive and we had fun.

We have more planned in the coming weeks. Tonight we are going to a Christmas ‘luau’ which is a volunteer appreciation event for one of my organizations. Next week we have a Christmas ‘Jingle Mingle’ which brings together caregivers and their families for an evening of fun. After that we still have an adventure to a local farm that does an amazing drive through Christmas light display, a trip to a Christmas Village and an evening of driving around the area looking at Christmas lights in neighbourhoods around us.

So it will be a fun December and that is what we wanted. Of course it will all be more fun if I can just get rid of this cold!
