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

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
I have always loved Thanksgiving. Fall is by far my FAVOURITE season. I love the fashion, the weather, the colours, the food. By October, I’m tired of flip flops and bbq and crave boots and roasted anything. I love fall walks through the woods with my dog, admiring the amazing colour show Mother Nature puts … Continue reading
“Wow! You have lost so much weight!” “Ya, well, still have some to go…” “Look at the definition in your arms!” “I have no life and come to the gym way too much.” Have you ever deflected a compliment- then turned it around and managed to insult yourself? I know I have been guilty of … Continue reading
