DAY 8/31…. Yesterday I exercised my right to not exercise 🤣🤣🤫 nada… nothing… zip… apart from walking around trying to find gifts to take home. But nope… #31days #cheatday

A seriously crazy day yesterday! You know when you look at your nieces and nephews and your mind sees “1 year old ring bearer at my wedding” and “Teeny wee Blondie with one foot recovering from cancer” and then you turn around and they are 😳 piloting your plane and winning medals at the Paralympics??? What??? #timeflies #family #whendidigetold #life #love #gratitude

DAY 7 of 31 Done and dusted early today and feeling way better than yesterday. Just over 10kms with some good hills thrown in for good measure. Sunny and cooler. #31days

DAY 6/31 a shorter walk today. But still a walk. We had rain for the first time on our holiday overnight and today felt heavy and humid. I really struggled today. But still, done is done. #somedaysarehard #31days #moveyoass

Whoops! Didn’t add my stats from today’s #31days post. Just in case you wanted to see… 🤣 DAY 5/31

DAY 5/31 Rinse and repeat! Except I added a few extra sets of stairs mid walk. #accountability #31days #gratitude

DAY 4/31 Back to my parents’ place after a couple of nights in Vancouver, so back to our “regular” place for exercise! It’s been good to work to a body clock instead of a work schedule! I’m not sure how I will manage when this holiday is over 😕#whiterock #beachandforrest #walkitout #31days

DAY 3/31 does it even count if you’re having such fun?! A fabulous paddle board out off Jericho Beach, Vancouver. Beautiful summer afternoon, evening. One more week with my family here in Canada. #31days #paddleboard #sup #jerichobeach

This trip home has been full of so many things. Some confronting and challenging, some beautiful and soul filling. So glad to have the supportive arms of @GJM to steady and prop me when I have needed it. #home #agingparents #childhoodmemories #adultingishard #bestfriend

DAY 2/31 The Four Lakes Trail #31days A wonderful hike down memory lane as 1 of these lakes was owned by our family (Edith Lake) and summers were spent wild camping on the lake. #yesthereweretears

DAY 1/31 #31days #challengeaccepted #womenofnostr #gratitude

Oh my goodness… what a day! Does this count as touching grass?? #crymeariver #touchgrass #glacierfed #whataday video cred to @GJM

Oh my!! I adore these wee creatures and put the nectar feeder on the arm of my chair hoping for a close encounter! Got one!! #hummingbird #canada #sogood #humstr #morningcoffee #grinninglikealittlekid

Summer in BC. There is always so much going on when I come home to visit. Today after a walk on the beach, I can’t seem to find my mojo… if you find it… let me know. #tired #outofoomph #catchingupwithme #😴

Loving being in the trees that I am familiar with from childhood. Don’t get me wrong… I LOVE New Zealand, but the smell of these woods take me to my childhood. #thetreesaredifferenthere

Love my beach walks… amazing what a difference a day makes… different beach, different season, different country, different hemisphere. One day apart. #avisithome #beachwalk #nzwinter #cndsummer #timeforarest with @GJM

Still repping sunrises and beach walks! #GM #sunrise #winter #beachwalk #changingsky

I’m just gonna leave this here.

Weekends are for walking… well, actually every day is for walking, but Sundays are for walking further! #sunday #winterwalks #bigsky #goodday #gn
