This photo makes me super happy. How awesome is that? Pet night with Santa at Billings Bridge Shopping Centre! So much fun. Waiting in line with all the other people and their pets was almost as much fun as seeing Santa! And the picture is so great. I love it! Finally seeing Santa has pushed … Continue reading
I am very conscious of the food I eat. I try to eat organic (if it’s not too expensive), a variety of fruits and veggies, only natural sugars, and I read labels (actually I don’t read that many labels since I rarely buy prepackaged food). I am pretty regimented about what goes in my body … Continue reading

No drive. No get up and go. Lack of motivation. No mojo! That’s been me for the last three weeks! Me! I know! Weird eh? I have been forcing myself to go to the gym. When I was sick last week, I was all too happy to stay home. This was totally un chartered territory … Continue reading
I had a major life style change in February and since then I have struggled to put into words how I feel now. I feel so different now. I follow a Clean eating approach to my diet and I exercise pretty much everyday. This new life style obviously has changed my physical appearance- quite dramatically … Continue reading
Yes I have the dreaded BLAH. I think it’s because it’s November, I’m sick, I haven’t worked out in four days and it’s cold and snowy. I think Boyd’s face says it all! The old me (unmotivated, junk food eating, non exerciser me) would have ate chips and extended the “I’m sick pity party” for … Continue reading
Well at least until Spring! I don’t know about you but I’m a “fair weather” salad eater. I am notoriously always cold and I think this causes me to have an aversion to cold foods during cold weather. Frozen treats, smoothies and salads are pushed off the menu in favour for anything warm! It’s not … Continue reading
Last week I had to bring my dog Boyd to the vet. His tail was glued to his bum and I was assuming that he ate something stupid and was having trouble “passing” it. Boyd is not a picky eater! That dog will eat just about everything and it has gotten him into trouble several … Continue reading
At the end of the summer, the thought of working full time for an entire school was overwhelming. I honestly didn’t think I could do it! Well, I’m about to do it since my teaching contract just got extended for the entire school year. I’m feeling confident about it all because of push-ups. Push-ups. I … Continue reading
Back in August I was really concerned about how starting work full time for the first time in 9 yrs was going to affect my life (re. working out and eating clean while staying sane) so I decided to quit drinking. I know! Stupid idea eh? I was thinking that as I was entering probably … Continue reading
