Tuesday I went for a short run, but yesterday and today? nada.
How to do something active every day
It made me
pleased 
"Even chores count as activity!"
How I did it: Several things helped me with becoming more active:
- walking during my lunch hour, then eat my lunch at my desk while checking email
- parking farther away and walking a bit to stores
- if waiting (for someone to arrive, for the mechanic, etc.) go for a brief walk instead of sitting in the waiting room
- do yoga poses during TV commercials
- dancing at karaoke (no, I don't wanna dance *with* anyone, thanks)
- bodyboarding when the boys are surfing
There may be days when I'm sick, have low energy, or otherwise not feel up to intense activity... but overall I have achieved this goal.
Resources: - Power90 is a fun workout, for when I want to break a sweat and tone my arms

killer cramps + the worst commute so far- left office at 6, got home at 8- mean no active for me.

Today, in addition to a very active rehearsal with lots of acrobatics, I walked the half-hour to rehearsal this morning and climbed Lion’s Head Peak this evening!

despite eating shockingly unhealthy fish and chips, I then went for a hike in the forrest. We saw no baboons, but it was stunning!

Now I’ve got a system: I walk to rehearsal (45 minutes) or I walk to work (20 minutes, there and back so 40 total) Every Day. Add in the occasional yoga and hiking, plus rehearsals and warm ups… yeah! I’m rocking this goal.
