We are trying to get the kids (and adults) to be more active - otherwise they spend all their time rotating between the tv, Playstation and pc. So, for the duration of the holidays we are planning to do 1 hour of physical activity together every day.
So far:
1 Jan - Walked a trail in Smith's Bush in Onewa Domain. It's advertised as an hour walk and although we took a long detour, we completed it in 28 minutes - you have to go very slow to complete in an hour. It's really good and well worth the effort.
2 Jan - Went swimming at Takapuna Aqatic Centre. First time for the kids in the big pool. A good time was had by all.
3 Jan - Walked (adults) and cycled (kids) to Milford Mall to do some grocery shopping. On our way back the chain came off Elizabeth bicycle and I just could not get it back on. It's happened before and it's always relatively easy to get back on, but today it just would not. The chain cover does not help and I ended up with hands full of chain oil and miles (ok, about a kilometer) from home. We had to carry her bike home and she was rather grumpy.
Nadia went back to work today (my turn is Monday the 7th). The holidays were way to short.
While at the shops today we discovered some "alcohol removed" wine (merlot nogal). Now, in my eternal quest to lose weight (it's also low calories), we decided to give it a go. Well, that was $13.99 wasted. It's both bad wine and bad grape juice at the same time.

Ja, it doesn't sound like a good idea. Like alcohol-free beer. I'd rather dring water.
