DAY 15/31 short yoga session after work. Still struggling… back in NZ for 5 days already, and back in the Boutique for 4. So looking forward to a sleep in tomorrow. #31days #yoga #holidaysover

GM May your day be punctuated. Exclamations of joy, pauses of gratitude, bracketed with peace and love, full stop.

Day 14/31 Struggling to adjust to NZ time and responsibilities. One short walk today for #31days.

DAY 13/31 finally back on my mat and wow did I ever feel it! 🤣 and another walk. #31days #walk #yoga

In a weird twist of time shenanigans, DAY 11/31 was spent flying DAY12/31 was a haze of unpacking and reorganising life in NZ after an amazing time with family in Canada… and with the time difference, it’s now day 13, even though it’s still the 12th in the Northern Hemisphere so I’m going with DAY 12/31 because I started this challenge on Vancouver time! A cold beautiful walk back at our home beach with @GJM to see the sunrise! Followed up by a vitamin c hit from our orange tree #31days

DAY 10/31 a last long and glorious paddle board before getting on the plane and returning to our responsibilities 🤣😬 back in New Zealand. Leaving summer behind and heading back to winter. So hard to leave my family. It gets harder every time. #holiday #family #torn #hereandthere #SUP #31days

DAY 9/31 Back to my beach walk routine. We leave here tomorrow so it’s getting bittersweet. So good to be here, but looking forward to seeing my other sons, but will miss being with my Canadian family, and soaking in the BC summer! Picture is of the full moon on the beach from my parent’s deck. #31days #beautifulbritishcolumbia #endofourholiday #beachwalk

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
