That's amazing First light!! I've always wanted to ride horses. I hope that it goes well. It must be really exhilerating to gallop through the woods on such a magnificent animal!
Having an activity you love is definitely a huge motivation toward staying fit and healthy. I miss surfing so much. I was surfing daily when I was living in Hawaii, but since I moved back to Boston (in the dead of winter too!) I haven't been able to make it out as much. I don't have qualms about swimming in the cold water (I've surfed New Hampshire), however it is way more of an ordeal, akin to making a trip to go snowboarding. For me, getting out involves finding waves (it's fairly inconsistant on the east coast), driving over an hour to the coast, renting a wet suit, etc... Undeniably a different experience. Previously, I literally just walked 10 mins to the beach and jumped into the bath tub temp ocean in a bikini...
You're luck you have those trails! Getting outdoors is a great mood booster! I've been meaning to try out Pilates.. How long have you been practicing?
As for me, I'm planning on starting a new gym and lifting routine. Probably 30-40 mins of cardio on an eliptical and then upper and lower training. I'm also looking into getting a pool membership so I can swim daily too.
🙂 Getting to the gym is easier said than done. I'm going to have to keep myself accountable.
Best of luck to you First Light!!! Hope that everything is going well!!!
