I've always admired people who have found a passion in the form of exercise. I've tried a few things but never really found anything that kept me motivated. So, when I was invited to participate in the Summer of New Balance — a series of fitness and lifestyle experiences — I was curious. Each … [Read more...]
Taking 1 Billion Steps with Olympian Joannie Rochette
Summer time can present a bit of a challenge when it comes to exercising. With the kids being out of school for a couple of months I don't feel the need to rush around as I do the rest of the year. I walk my little one to school every day 10 minutes each way; that's pretty much my minimal amount of … [Read more...]
Soft And 30
I am going to be 32 this summer and so far, the rumors are true: the 30s are way better than the 20s. So many of those Big Life Decisions (Who will I marry? How many kids will we have? Where is my career going?) are made and now we just get to live them out, more secure and confident in who we … [Read more...]
Whole30, Here I Come!
Come Monday morning, I am beginning the Whole30 journey. I have dabbled in the Paleo diet this past year and have been feeling the need for a deep reset in my eating habits and approach to food. When life gets busy, I run to the quick, easy fixes like sugary lattes and buttered bagels, foregoing any … [Read more...]
That time I met with Madonna’s personal trainer! What?!
I'm one of those people who don't enjoy working out. I always say, "I don't run...unless it's on sale." But don't get me wrong, I totally admire those people who are sooooo motivated and dedicated to working out. Maybe I just haven't found my "calling" yet. Yeah, that's it. So, when I was … [Read more...]
Two At the Top
I had her all to myself for her first two years. The thing is, she was pretty grumpy most of that time. Then her sister was born and the chaos doubled, and finally tripled when her youngest sister made an entrance. She has grown up so fast and can often slip under my radar as she requires less of … [Read more...]
Labour Day is the New New Year’s Day (The Final Chapter – With Video)
I have written a few blogs about how I treat Labour Day like it’s New Year's Day. Ya know, back from vacation, back to school and back to reality. It’s a great time to exercise more and eat and drink less. Well, let’s just say I had the best of intentions but I’m easily swayed. Have a look at this … [Read more...]
The Right To Bare Arms
A group of us were hanging out last weekend when the littlest one, (so little I call her Bird,) in a turtleneck and a crew neck on a warm September day said, Oh I don't like my arms and never show them. They are flabby. In that moment we asked her to take off her two layers to her bra and we all … [Read more...]
Charity Running
Last year I had a wonderful experience running with other UrbanMoms for the Run for the Cure held every fall across Canada. Beyond the monies raised and the experience contributing to a worthwhile cause, this venture forced me to stick to a exercise program to ensure I could complete the five … [Read more...]
New Fitness Regime
I have let myself go over the past few years. I am way too heavy for a guy that stands at a very intimidating 5'6. I swear I am slowly turning into a sphere. My whole life I have been up and down in weight, unfortunately, more up than down. Here is how the last 20 years have gone. Teenager: … [Read more...]
