Hello 2012

Hello world of healthy thinkers... after some hiatus, we are back to write about healthy living for the new year. Right now it's sprinkling snow outside. It's been 40 and sunny around here lately, great weather for dog walking and wandering around campus. But now it's looking like January again, and with that comes consequences... for example, when it snows, after it's been raining and freezing, ice patches lay hidden in dangerous places. Winter walking sometimes has to slow down and shorten up when the ice and snow cause trouble. So then one wonders, "how might I revise my daily schedule to include other sorts of exercise and activity?" Of course there are always yoga classes when one is able to conveniently fit them into a regular weekly schedule, as well as trips to the gym (or did my membership run out already, since I haven't been there in a while and can't exactly remember?), and maybe even creating a new swimming schedule. Of course there are always options for vacuuming and doing laundry; or one might consider exercising on the yoga mat in the living room. The point is that there are options. And the mandate is to simply take some time to focus oneself, work on creating a new schedule for winter, and decide to stick to it even when the weeks get cold and time management becomes difficult.

My goal for this weekend: make a new plan for next week that may (sorry dog) shorten the outside dog walking, and focus more on various indoor activities. And then, come Monday, begin to implement, in a reasonable fashion.

What is your exercise and activity schedule going to look like this winter?
