In January I started boot camp. My baby was four months old, I was a hot mess and none of my pants fit. The classes were challenging, and getting up at 6 am after I had been up a dozen times with a hungry infant was tough, but I kept at it, kept on squatting, kept on lunging, kept on sweating.Here's … [Read more...]
The Finish Line
I passed my real estate exam! This year has been more than a little crazy: completely renovating our home, having a third baby, starting the real estate course when she was four weeks old, committing to an intense boot camp exercise regime at 6 o'clock in the mornings, totally changing my … [Read more...]
A Kick in the Butt
So, in spite of my looming half-marathon, I'm finding it very hard to stay motivated and fit with my running regime. The days are cold, the routes are snowy and my bed is warm...what's a girl to do?What I've noticed is a trend towards a whole variety of new fitness classes out there, and I'm looking … [Read more...]
Weekend Update – Priority: Me
This morning I completed week 1 of a nine week program that will apparently have me running 5K by the end. We'll see about that...I ran awhile back on my own. I had no program, I hadn't run before and I really had no clue what I was doing. It was the trendy thing to to. … [Read more...]
A Birthday Not So Bad
Sorry for the delay in posting. My Husband has been away for work and got home only last night. It's been nuts, and my time on the computer has been limited to a few tweets here and there. My birthday was a few weeks ago. I wasn't feeling great about it. I always miss my mum around … [Read more...]

Just Do It!
It has been a long, cold winter so far. We have survived the coldest months of 2009. We have seen it all...snow, ice and frigid temperatures. As a personal trainer whose primary job is to motivate, the weather this winter has made my job extremely challenging. Nobody wants to walk … [Read more...]
Getting out of an Exercise Rut!
As I mentioned before, I've been going through a bit of slump in regard to my fitness and nutrition. Postpartum, with three little ones under the age of 5, I've been zapped physically, and more so mentally - lacking the motivation to stay on track with my health goals. So, I decided to stop … [Read more...]
