Not sure how you did with your fitness goals over the holidays, but I am going to give myself a C+ in the category. I ended up pulling a muscle in my back, and got a throat infection, but I still got out for long walks almost everyday. Now that I am not hacking up a lung I am going to get to a class or two, but walking will always be a part of my routine; I did 11 km yesterday in fact.

What I love about a long walk is the opportunity to check out sights along the way. Lately I’ve been walking down the end of West Broadway and up the hill to the top near Point Grey Academy.

Disclaimer – this is not me. I paint my toenails.

I’ve also found the perfect pants for walking and lounging about the house. They’re actually quite presentable should you have to stop along the way for a refreshment as well, as this often happens with me. Check out Blue Sky Clothing on West 4th, or any of their five locations for their bamboo, cotton blend pants. I’ve got the “susan” pant, but I actually meant to buy the yoga one, but once I got the pant home it just worked. Also have a very comfy yoga top from the store and a dress as well. They all breath which is very important to me these days!

This coming week I have some classes booked, but I had to take a week and not beat myself up since my body was not cooperating. At least I found a way to do what I could am an resting up to get healthy! So C+ it is, but only for now.
