As you may or may not know, I love my yoga. Now I go to class twice a week, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. The Tuesday class is a small, workshop-like setting, and the Thursday class is a larger group. This afternoon, I was the only one there for the first half-hour of the workshop - a private … [Read more...]
Resistance Training for Weight Loss…and more.

Sangriaaahhhh…
Remember I told you I was going on a Mediterranean Cruise? Well, we spent our first day in Barcelona before boarding the boat, and for that first dinner I went with two friends to a traditional Basque restaurant, called Txicitera. There I shared a 1litre pitcher of what was simply the best Sangria … [Read more...]
New Jeans or New Bod?
I spent the day yesterday pulling out all of our summer clothes and replacing them with winter gear. I washed all of the mittens, hats, and scarves. I had my kids try things on to see what needs to be purchased (surprisingly little despite huge growth spurts...their clothes must have been … [Read more...]

Motivation follows Action!
Motivation follows Action! By far this is one of my most favourite mantras and my belief in it has served me well time and again. Just today I woke up on what must have been the wrong side of the bed. I had low energy, my thoughts were less than positive and being self employed … [Read more...]
Counting Down, Packing Up…
This Saturday I head out with Hubster and our two little girls (one is almost 8, the other 5) on a trip that's been nearly a decade in the making. We're going to visit my Mother-in-Law's hometown of Tallinn, Estonia. Well, truth be told I'm sure she considers Toronto her hometown (you surely didn't … [Read more...]
