Hope you and the family are doing fantastic. In my experience anything you do needs to be sustainable. If it is something you start to flake on that's ok, just try something else. Eventually you will find routines that work for you and your lifestyle. Don't beat yourself up. Something that has worked for me started as more of a mid year/pre transplant resolution and has grown into a habit that I look forward to every day. I now live by a simple rule: If it is not pouring rain outside I get outside and do something physical. For me this has been mostly walking & hiking. Of course for you with the kiddies it could be playing catch, riding bikes etc. The possibilities are endless! So again, my idea is everyday it is not raining - get out and move. Even if it is a 5-10 minute walk around the block or up and down the street. Somedays that's all it will be and that's ok, other days it may be a 1-2 hour excursion. I can tell you that this consistency has been great for me mentally and physically. Cheers! Mark Hey Josh, long time no see. Hope you and the family are doing fantastic.
