Fitness:
Twin 1:
Be as fit as I used to be and take care of myself on a regular basis – Not as
fit as I used to be but doing ok.
Twin 2: Make healthier choices - Yes. Joined weight watchers and lost a little bit of weight and starting to work out more consistently.
Both: Bike/run total of 2016 km this year and finish the JM workout program once and for all! – We did not reach 2016 km. We made it to 764. We'll try again in 2017. We just started JM again in November and we are scheduled to be finished by Feb 4 2017 so we will let you know in February.

Highlights of 2016
February:
The
Superbowl was on February 7th. Payton Manning won his final Superbowl trophy.
March:
Twin 2 and her husband FINALLY got a new doctor (2014 goal).
April:
We went to Mexico the last week of April. It was hot, just the way we like it.
May:We joined a golf clinic at The Links at Brunello. Twin 2 and her husband also bought a golf membership at Brunello (new course in Timberlea).
June:
All golf clinics in June were cancelled due to rain. We also signed up for the Great Cycle Challenge for the month for Kids against Cancer. The challenge was to ride 150 km in the month of June and we met that challenge. We raised $520. Hopefully to be repeated in 2017. Twin 2 started a new job and lost all her EDOs. Boo.
July:
BIRTHDAY
MONTH! We celebrated birthdays all month
long including our big birthday BBQ bash which included our last birthday celebration with Twin 3. Twin 2 experienced Paint Nite and the masterpiece is proudly hung in her private bathroom.
A friend from PEI passed away which was not a highlight but worth a mention.
August:
We each took vacation. We started training for the BLT 5k Fun Run.
September:
We had our family golf tournament at the Northumberland Links. We rented a cottage for the weekend and it was the coldest/wettest golf game ever. We also went to see the comedian Danny Bhoy. Twin 2 bought a new vehicle. Twin 2 also started seeing spots and flashing lights and thought her retina was detached. False Alarm (thankfully)!
October:
At Thanksgiving Onyx hurt her paw pad walking in the New Harbour woods. We ran the 3rd and final BLT 5k Fun Run.
November:
We skipped the Parade of Lights in Halifax but caught the Bedford Parade with Billy.
December:
CHRISTMAS!! Parties, parties, parties - WRONG! All parties were cancelled.
While it hasn't been the most exciting year, we are happy and healthy and can't wait to see what 2017 brings.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
