One year. I can’t believe it’s been one year (and a couple of weeks but hey, Mr. O. was 2 weeks overdue so it’s only fitting that this final update be as well) since my baby was born. Oh how life has changed in that time. My easy-going, always smiling, never sleeping little boy is… Continue Reading

Body After Baby: 9 Months In, 9 Months Out
Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like the 9 month birthday is almost as big of a milestone as the first birthday. It officially marks the time when Baby O has been out in the world as long as he was in my belly. I don’t know why, but that thought really blows my… Continue Reading
Winnipeg Fire and Paramedic Half Marathon Recap-Part I
I can’t seem to find the words to really describe every emotion that I felt during Saturday’s half marathon and even in the days leading up to it.

Body After Baby: Conquering the Impossible
With my half marathon just over a month away, I’ve been thinking a bit more about what the whole training experience has meant to me. I mean…I went from running one minute at a time back in April (and barely being able to finish some of those first few runs) to doing a 10 mile… Continue Reading
Body After Baby: Living by MY Limits
My first big fitness triumph after Baby O was born was getting back to exercising after so many weeks of not being able to (and in all honesty, not wanting to). It was both hard and humbling knowing where I’d been and that I was essentially starting at scratch again. My body after baby was… Continue Reading
