where am I now: still under construction
Filed Under faces & places, fitness | January 17, 2012
Last Spring I wrote a piece about my experience with the E.A.T! program by Lisa of Bodies Under Construction. When I wrote it, the course was half over, but a new one is about to begin, so it seemed like a great time to let you know where I am, almost a year later, and [...]
all hail the mighty chick pea: foodie friday
Filed Under fitness, foodie friday | June 10, 2011
I don’t know if anyone noticed, but its been awhile since I have posted about my adventures in the wonderful world of wellness (wow…thats a lot of w’s). I think its because I’ve been a bit disappointed in myself and the plateau of death as I like to call it. I’ve lost 15 pounds since January, which [...]

I am about to write a post about weight loss. But it’s not the post you expect. I am not on a diet, and I am not trying to be thin. When I rounded and softened while carrying my children in my belly, I wore it like a badge of honour: I had carried and [...]

Monday…what a fun day. I leaped on the scale and discovered, to my surprise, that I had lost two pounds. Colour me surprised! As I mentioned last week, I knew that my healthy eating efforts were due to be derailed on Saturday due to date night. But what a glorious derailing it was. The beauty [...]

Monday is weigh in day. In hindsight, I perhaps should have chosen an alternate day. Like Garfield, I REALLY hate Mondays. No sleeping in, something ALWAYS goes wrong…generally involving poop…and I never have a good hair day. However this Monday, I stepped on the scale and I noted that the number had shrunk by five [...]

When the new year dawns, I always get newly inspired. New beginnings, new start, new year. One of my goals (I shy away from the term resolution because I swear resolutions never work…so we’ll stick with goal) is to be fab by forty. I turn 4-0 next July, so I’m giving myself a whole year and a [...]

Week 6: Running Machine Here it is week 6 and I am doing something I swore to myself I would never do: run! My boyfriend has been training this past year so he could run in 1/2 marathons and triathlons and I felt it was my turn to try running. My trainer Breanne has [...]

30 extra minutes keeps the inches at bay! I have been walking every day for an hour with my dog, I have been working out with Fitness On The Go twice a week and I have been attending a kick boxing class once a week. I think I am doing a lot of exercise, but [...]

WEEK 3: I Love Being Called Awesome! Week 3 got off to a great start. I was feeling strong and discovered I had already lost 1 inch off my waist, 1 off my hips and 1/2 an inch off my chest! But then the end of the week rolled around and I was suffering [...]
