The older I get the more I crave balance and health. When my boys were in their tweens or early teens I realized if I didn't get healthier I would not keep up to them for long.

I, for the most part, remain fairly active, but clearly not enough. I love to walk, yoga, cycle and hike; and the Alberta season if about to bring for the latter of the two.
I am currently trying Jillian Michaels Get ripped in 30 days, which is a tough work out for me - but I have manager day 3 which I am very proud of because I hurt ever day.
I also love live music, but with that often comes a beverage or 3, or 5. My weekdays are fairly good, but the weekends I forgot the goals and just have fun.
