When I first started working with Sarah on my diet plan, her first rule was no drinking! Honestly my first thought wasn’t saying good bye to my favourite wine- it was “I’m never going to have sex again!” After a long tiring and stressful day, are you “in the mood”? After a glass (or two) … Continue reading

I scream!
Here is a big confession….. I still like McDonalds. I don’t eat McDonalds but I still like the taste of McDonalds and I kinda miss it. When I started clean eating, I was surprised how much I enjoyed the food I was eating. I love lentils and kale- weird- I really didn’t see that coming! … Continue reading
Smile and Say Ole!
Workout. Work + Out. What a stupid name. It sure doesn’t sound appealing. When I go to my workout class, I work hard but that doesn’t keep me going back. I go back because its FUN! The instructor is hilarious. The music is awesome. The ladies in the class are so nice. Maybe you are … Continue reading
Yo Mama Eats so Clean….
It was hard for me as an adult to change my eating habits. Changing my kids eating habits has been taxing, challenging, and just plain DIFFICULT! Some days are better than others. One particularly bad day happened at the local grocery store. My daughter actually burst into tears in the dairy section of the local … Continue reading
Choose Happy Even When Its Hard
I think it is easier to lose 30lbs than to lose a negative body image. I would have thought the girl on the left would have more negative body thoughts than the girl on the right… BTW both girls are me 🙂 I had a really bad case of the “uglies” yesterday. I was super … Continue reading
Timing isn’t Everything
Are you looking for the perfect time to make a change in your life? I was. It never came. There was always an excuse on why I couldn’t change my eating. That big party coming up, a family reunion, Valentine’s day, Christmas, summer….. Look at a calendar, I’m sure you would struggle to find 6 … Continue reading
Cottage Clean
August long weekend is cottage time for us. The minute I step foot in the cottage my “to do list” looks something like this: -nap -read 7yr old Cosmo and People magazines (a very amusing parenting article written by Billy Ray Cyrus on how he is raising Miley to be a good girl ha!) -swim … Continue reading
I Eat Things That Might Surprise You
I recently ran into a friend I hadn’t seen in over 6 months. She was really surprised by my change in appearance. “Wow! How did you lose all that weight?” was the question. I thought about it and then I had to tell her the truth…. even though it isn’t the answer most people want … Continue reading
Rock Star Lentils
Way back in February, before I started Clean Eating, I was gaining more confidence at my gym. I was very still very overweight and not fuelling my body with the proper food so I could workout to my potential, but despite this, my body was growing muscles under that layer of fat. I remember one … Continue reading
Selfishly Happy (and we’re all okay with that)
I go to my exercise class pretty much everyday. The old “me” would have called me selfish. Spending that precious hour on myself instead of my kids would have been a very difficult thing for the old “me” to do. I am so glad I have changed. My kids are so glad that I have … Continue reading
